Speed

9 to fix82
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    6.3 MB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.3 MB).

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 8.6 MB and 821 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 82

    82/100

    Your mobile performance score is 82. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Other Google APIs/SDKs adds 52 ms

    52 ms

    Other Google APIs/SDKs costs a phone 52 ms of main-thread work and 7.6 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    800 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 800 ms.

  • Google CDN adds 510 ms

    510 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 510 ms of main-thread work and 736 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

    487 KiB

    About 487 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Main-thread work: 3.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,723 HTML elements

    The page has 1,723 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 210 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    33 KiB

    About 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    16 KiB

    1 image could be 16 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 60 ms

    60 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 60 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

  • Speed Index: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

  • Total Blocking Time: 477 ms

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    -3%

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% slower for real visitors

    +13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 96 ms

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 9.4 MB in 53 requests

    9.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 9.4 MB in 53 requests on a phone: media 7.5 MB (4), scripts 1.1 MB (22) and other files 369 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.67 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.67 g of CO₂e: 320.9 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

4 to fixGoogle 9794
  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (6 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 73 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 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 3 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 118 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 118 pages on spearcenter.com and 7 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 124 characters

    Your meta description is 124 characters: “Top-rated physical therapy in NYC. Book an appointment with Spear Physical Therapy and start your journey to recovery t…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Award-winning physical therapy for every body”.

  • Title: 38 characters

    Your title is a healthy 38 characters: “Expert Physical Therapy in NYC | Spear”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

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

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://spearcenter.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://spearcenter.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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

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