One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
12.6 s · 1.6 MBAbout 1.6 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 12.6 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
3.2 s · 1.8 MB11 images could be 1.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
2.6 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.6 s.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Google CDN and Accessibe Accessibility Overlay and others), adding 3.2 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 53
53/100Your mobile performance score is 53 (desktop: 55). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
YouTube adds 665 ms
665 msYouTube costs a phone 665 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 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.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 186 KiBAbout 186 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 135 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (135 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.8 s
A phone's processor spends 3.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google CDN adds 300 ms
300 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 300 ms of main-thread work and 734 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.
Font display
350 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 350 ms).
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 140 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 23 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
10 KiB10 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.9 MB in 128 requests
7.9 MBYour homepage downloads 7.9 MB in 128 requests on a phone: images 3.6 MB (41), scripts 3.1 MB (34) and fonts 419 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images far larger than shown
1.4 MB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example shutterstock_1659734719-1-scaled-e1638314574312.jpg at 2,560 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 1.4 MB.
1 image over 500 KB
shutterstock_1659734719-1-scaled-e1638314574312.jpg weighs 757 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
16 images below the first screen load straight away
16 images further down the page (2.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
11 images in older formats
11 images (2.0 MB) are 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.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.25 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.25 g of CO₂e: 269.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
8 links without text
8 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 (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 41 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (16 characters)
Your title is only 16 characters: “Home - StationMD”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 80 pages on stationmd.com and 33 external pages.
7 checks passed

5 small tap targets
5 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
5 third-party cookies

Local business without LocalBusiness data

No opening hours

No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

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