Render-blocking requests
1.8 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 107 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (107 KiB).
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 51 KiB1 image could be 51 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 63 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.
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.

Mobile performance score: 90
90/100Your mobile performance score is 90 (desktop: 99). That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.1 s
A phone's processor spends 0.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 6 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.4 s
4.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sYour largest element takes 2.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “From your first evaluation through imaging, chiropractic ca…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
30 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example doctor-reviewing-xray.jpg at 1,260 px wide, shown at 350 px. Resized copies would save about 30 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (97 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.
About 0.05 g of CO₂ per visit
0.05 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.05 g of CO₂e: 5.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 175 KiB in 8 requests
175 KiBYour homepage downloads 175 KiB in 8 requests on a phone: images 102 KiB (2), fonts 62 KiB (2) and stylesheets 6 KiB (2). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 7 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
36 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 1 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://sterlingmedgroup.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at sterlingmedgroup.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
37 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 37 pages on sterlingmedgroup.com and 0 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 158 characters
Your meta description is 158 characters: “Sterling Medical Group provides coordinated personal injury care, MRI, chiropractic care, pain management, orthopedics,…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Pain reliefstarts here.”.
Title: 64 characters
Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “Personal Injury Care in Central Florida | Sterling Medical Group”.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: MedicalOrganization.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description. 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://sterlingmedgroup.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
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (591 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Best practices

No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
13 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 575 words of copy
The homepage carries about 575 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: “Call to schedule” and “Call”.
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Call to schedule” and “Call (407) 605-5335”.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 6 phone links and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 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 sterlingmedgroup.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
