sdmg.com website review

About 263 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.

2 images could be 158 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 57 (desktop: 88). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

About 115 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.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 172 ms of main-thread work and 324 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.

6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 638 KiB and 288 ms of main-thread time.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 127 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Desktop scores 88 but mobile only 57. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 12.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “SLOCUM-DICKSON MEDICAL GROUP Patient health is our top prio…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 83 ms to 84 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.55 g of CO₂e: 65.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Slocum-Dickson Medical Group” and “Slocum-Dickson Medical Group”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No XML sitemap at https://sdmg.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 97 pages on sdmg.com and 11 external pages.

There is no https://sdmg.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.

https://sdmg.com/urgent-care and https://sdmg.com/employer-services all use the title “Urgent Care in Utica & New Hartford NY | SDMG Urgent Care”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://sdmg.com/urgent-care and https://sdmg.com/employer-services use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://sdmg.com/employer-services, whose canonical is https://sdmg.com/urgent-care. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://sdmg.com/urgent-care, https://sdmg.com/find-a-provider, https://sdmg.com/asthma-allergy-immunology and https://sdmg.com/breast-care-services took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 43 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'domReady')”.

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

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

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

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

The homepage carries about 321 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
