Render-blocking requests
1.3 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 88
88/100Your mobile performance score is 88. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 274 KiB34 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (274 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 117 KiBAbout 117 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
1,576 HTML elements
The page has 1,576 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Improve image delivery
70 KiB3 images could be 70 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
retarus_hp-slider-medicaid-480x289.jpeg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
2 images in older formats
2 images (68 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit
0.21 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.21 g of CO₂e: 24.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 750 KiB in 35 requests
750 KiBYour homepage downloads 750 KiB in 35 requests on a phone: images 371 KiB (21), stylesheets 167 KiB (9) and fonts 148 KiB (4). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (4 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (69 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 69 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (8 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 29 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
3 links with vague text
3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
188 internal links, 16 external
The homepage links to 188 pages on retarus.com and 16 external pages.
