Speed

6 to fix64
  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Wix, Sentry and wixpress.com), adding 1.5 MB and 990 ms of main-thread time.

  • Wix adds 975 ms

    975 ms

    Wix costs a phone 975 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 MB 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 64

    64/100

    Your mobile performance score is 64 (desktop: 89). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 167 KiB

    About 167 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 3.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,543 HTML elements

    The page has 1,543 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Improve image delivery

    100 ms · 16 KiB

    1 image could be 16 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 69 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    40 KiB

    40 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    28 KiB

    About 28 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    12 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 89 but mobile only 64. 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 25 ms

    25 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 25 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: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Your largest element takes 8.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Costa Rica Joins SNOMED International, Advancing Digital He…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.8 s

    12.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

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

  • Real-user TTFB: 866 ms

    866 ms

    Real visitors wait 866 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.4 s

    4.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 84 ms to 80 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 99 ms

    99 ms

    Real visitors wait 99 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: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 16 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.8 MB in 232 requests

    2.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 232 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (104), other files 906 KiB (94) and fonts 379 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.79 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.79 g of CO₂e: 95.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9096
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 2 tap targets too small

    2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5, h3 → h6 and h3 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 20 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

3 to fixGoogle 9289
  • 9 H1 headlines

    There are 9 <h1> headlines (“Costa Rica Joins SNOMED International, Advancing …”, “SNOMED CT Expo 2026: Program available and early …” and “Major Milestone for Africa: South Africa Adopts S…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (LocalBusiness and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.

  • 8 links with vague text

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

  • 94 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 94 pages on snomed.org and 18 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 126 characters

    Your meta description is 126 characters: “SNOMED International is the not for profit organization that produces and maintains the global SNOMED CT clinical termi…”.

  • Title: 53 characters

    Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “SNOMED International | SNOMED CT for Interoperability”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.snomed.org/.

  • 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.snomed.org/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

3 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 (1,006 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.snomed.org/llms.txt (3 KiB, 3 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.snomed.org/our-team, https://www.snomed.org/our-partnerships and https://www.snomed.org/snomed-ct-marketplace have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://www.snomed.org/about-us, https://www.snomed.org/our-team, https://www.snomed.org/members, https://www.snomed.org/our-partnerships, https://www.snomed.org/snomed-ct-marketplace and https://www.snomed.org/get-involved and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 37 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “globalThis.defineStrictProperty is not a function”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    19 of 20 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • No social proof

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

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 729 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 729 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn more”.

  • 16 calls to action

    The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Contact us”, “Learn more” and “Subscribe”.

  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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