stthomaschc.org website review

78 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.6 MB).

34 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 11.6 s.

About 1.3 MB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.5 s faster on a phone.

About 1.8 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

Polyfills for old browsers add 221 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.6 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

173 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Google CDN costs a phone 523 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.

223 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 544 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 287 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

6 images could be 94 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.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

Real visitors wait 4.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 3.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The first text or image appears after 12.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 16.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “St. Thomas Community Health Center is a Federally Qualified…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 31.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 12.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.21 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 579 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.5 s to 3.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 116 requests on a phone: scripts 3.1 MB (43), stylesheets 1.4 MB (30) and other files 354 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images (63 KiB) 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 190.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

40 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

3 elements have a tabindex above 0, which scrambles the keyboard order.

2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 74 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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 on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

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

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your title is 71 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “St. Thomas Community Health Center | Medical Clinics in New Orleans, LA”.

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

The homepage links to 82 pages on stthomaschc.org and 10 external pages.

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.

There is no https://stthomaschc.org/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.

https://stthomaschc.org/services/pharmacy-services-medication-home-delivery is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://stthomaschc.org/online-options, https://stthomaschc.org/telemedicine-information and https://stthomaschc.org/donate have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://stthomaschc.org/es, https://stthomaschc.org/online-options, https://stthomaschc.org/telemedicine-information, https://stthomaschc.org/donate, https://stthomaschc.org/services and https://stthomaschc.org/services/new-orleans-chronic-care-management and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://stthomaschc.org/es, https://stthomaschc.org/telemedicine-information, https://stthomaschc.org/donate, https://stthomaschc.org/services, https://stthomaschc.org/services/new-orleans-chronic-care-management and https://stthomaschc.org/services/heart-vascular-cardiology and 6 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

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.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 855 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
