Speed

5 to fix83
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.2 s · 10.5 MB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (10.5 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    550 ms · 456 KiB

    12 images could be 456 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 83

    83/100

    Your mobile performance score is 83. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    350 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 350 ms.

  • 1,516 HTML elements

    The page has 1,516 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 22 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    29 KiB

    About 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    22 KiB

    About 22 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 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 third-party service on the page

    1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 45 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 129 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 58 ms

    58 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 58 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix83
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    Your largest element takes 4.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below. Most of its time is element render delay (1.9 s).

  • Speed Index: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 4.0 s

    4.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 4.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.015

    0.015

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.015, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 10.7 MB in 32 requests

    10.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 10.7 MB in 32 requests on a phone: media 9.6 MB (4), images 926 KiB (18) and scripts 93 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    img-logo.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (41 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 3.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.05 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.05 g of CO₂e: 365.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

Google 100100
  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 32 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 0 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10092
  • Meta description is long (197 characters)

    Your meta description is 197 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 92 internal links, 9 external

    The homepage links to 92 pages on suffieldvet.com and 9 external pages.

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.suffieldvet.com/llms.txt (41 KiB, 67 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

Content and conversion

1 to fix94

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

  • 2 other companies contacted

1 checks passed
