Speed

5 to fix67
  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 95). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 395 KiB and 769 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 702 ms

    702 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 702 ms of main-thread work and 371 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    530 ms · 170 KiB

    About 170 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 530 ms faster on a phone.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 415 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    16 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    12 KiB

    1 image could be 12 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 95 but mobile only 67. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 884 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 42 ms

    42 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 42 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    Your largest element takes 4.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Welcome to Sacramento ENT”.

  • Time to Interactive: 7.6 s

    7.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 7.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 976 ms

    976 ms

    Real visitors wait 976 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 517 ms

    517 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 517 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 96 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 112 ms

    112 ms

    Real visitors wait 112 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.7 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.25 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.25 g of CO₂e: 30.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 909 KiB in 32 requests

    909 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 909 KiB in 32 requests on a phone: scripts 444 KiB (10), fonts 266 KiB (5) and images 115 KiB (5). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 10096
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 16 links without text

    16 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (10 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 79 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 199 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 199 pages on sacent.com and 7 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 108 characters

    Your meta description is 108 characters: “| Sacramento Ear, Nose & Throat provides compassionate care for hearing healthcare, ENT and facial plastics.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Welcome to Sacramento ENT”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Sacramento Ear, Nose & Throat- Decades of Compassionate Care”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://sacent.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article and MedicalClinic.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://sacent.com/sitemaps.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://sacent.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,223 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://sacent.com/blog has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://sacent.com/bio/simone-a-barker and https://sacent.com/bio/kristin-m-bennett use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 134 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 4 small tap targets

    4 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 7 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • A 8-field form

    Your longest form asks for 8 fields (6 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 308 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 308 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Request Appointment”, “Contact” and “Send Request”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 16 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at sacent.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
