Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.7 s · 588 KiB63 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (588 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 174 KiBAbout 174 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 94). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (honeybadger.io, Google Tag Manager and Hubspot and others), adding 1.5 MB and 334 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
406 KiB10 images could be 406 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
site.com adds 12 ms
12 mssite.com costs a phone 12 ms of main-thread work and 750 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.
Minify JavaScript
230 ms · 33 KiB33 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 103 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
10 KiB10 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 94 but mobile only 43. 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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 487 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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: 12.6 s
12.6 sYour largest element takes 12.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.586
0.586The layout shifts by 0.586 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Time to Interactive: 13.6 s
13.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 848 ms
848 msReal visitors wait 848 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 5.8 s
5.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s
2.8 sThe first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
29 images without width and height
29 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 102 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 121 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 121 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (51), images 785 KiB (38) and stylesheets 117 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
54 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example [email protected] at 1,652 px wide, shown at 363 px. Resized copies would save about 54 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (96 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.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (203 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.67 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (8 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (7 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Orphan list items
Some list items are not inside a list.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 25 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (20 characters)
Your title is only 20 characters: “Home | SimplyInsured”. 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.
Meta description is long (342 characters)
Your meta description is 342 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.simplyinsured.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
16 internal links, 26 external
The homepage links to 16 pages on simplyinsured.com and 26 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Simple Small Business Health Insurance”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.simplyinsured.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
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.simplyinsured.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 (598 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.simplyinsured.com/support has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.simplyinsured.com/support has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.simplyinsured.com/small-group/first-quote and https://www.simplyinsured.com/support have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
9 internal pages checked
We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
