Speed

6 to fix70
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.9 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 236 KiB

    About 236 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    800 ms · 236 KiB

    1 image could be 236 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 70

    70/100

    Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 45 KiB

    About 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • sitecorecontenthub.cloud adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    sitecorecontenthub.cloud costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 505 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Amplitude Mobile Analytics and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 807 KiB and 75 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 63 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    2 KiB

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

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 258 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.1 s

    8.1 s

    Your largest element takes 8.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Looking for new blogs? Click here. Our podcast has been ren…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.2 s

    8.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 13 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 1 image far larger than shown

    180 KiB

    1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 50c0767ce5e84e43bead74325c0d00c6 at 600 px wide, shown at 99 px. Resized copies would save about 180 KiB.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (239 KiB) is 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (239 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.35 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.35 g of CO₂e: 41.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.2 MB in 41 requests

    1.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 41 requests on a phone: scripts 527 KiB (15), images 522 KiB (14) and fonts 123 KiB (4). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 8694
  • 4 buttons without a name

    4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 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.

  • 4 links without text

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

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 8 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 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: 44 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

7 to fixGoogle 8566
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is short (8 characters)

    Your title is only 8 characters: “Sg2 Home”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Sg2.com is moving.” and “We help health systems find and achieve smart gro…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.sg2.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 5 links with vague text

    5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 67 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 67 pages on sg2.com and 17 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.sg2.com//.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

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://www.sg2.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 (508 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 15 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 15 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.sg2.com/what-we-do, whose canonical is //what-we-do. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 13 pages without an H1

    https://www.sg2.com/what-we-do, https://www.sg2.com/our-solutions, https://www.sg2.com/our-solutions/who-is-in-my-market, https://www.sg2.com/our-solutions/who-do-i-compete-with, https://www.sg2.com/our-solutions/what-is-my-future-demand and https://www.sg2.com/our-solutions/how-do-patients-move and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 3 pages slow to respond

    https://www.sg2.com/our-solutions/who-is-in-my-market, https://www.sg2.com/our-solutions/how-do-patients-move and https://www.sg2.com/our-solutions/how-do-i-unify-my-data took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • 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

3 to fixGoogle 9285
  • 6 small tap targets

    6 of 17 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Amplitude Logger [Error]: TypeError: Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • 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.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 447 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 447 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Learn More” and “Get Started”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Amplitude.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 21 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 21 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Ketch

    A consent management tool (Ketch) loads with the page.

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 sg2.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
