Speed

6 to fix59
  • Render-blocking requests

    2.0 s

    31 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.0 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.3 s · 191 KiB

    2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (191 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    2.4 MB

    2 images could be 2.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    900 ms · 182 KiB

    About 182 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 89). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 102 KiB

    About 102 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.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Hubspot, Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager), adding 465 KiB and 118 ms of main-thread time.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 82 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 89 but mobile only 59. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 382 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 59 ms

    59 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 59 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 10.4 s

    10.4 s

    Your largest element takes 10.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “One Platform. All Health Journeys. Summus is the only physi…”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 10.4 s

    10.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 10.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.9 s

    6.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 9 images without width and height

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

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 50 ms

    50 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 50 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.4 MB in 72 requests

    4.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 72 requests on a phone: images 3.3 MB (12), scripts 727 KiB (24) and stylesheets 169 KiB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.25 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.25 g of CO₂e: 150.5 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

5 to fixGoogle 8694
  • 21 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 2 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 12 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 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: 45 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9290
  • Title is short (12 characters)

    Your title is only 12 characters: “Summus: Home”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 4 links with vague text

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

  • 44 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 44 pages on summusglobal.com and 10 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 124 characters

    Your meta description is 124 characters: “Summus is dedicated to helping organizations make healthcare, and specialty care, affordable, equitable, and easy to ac…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “One Platform. All Health Journeys.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.summusglobal.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Article, ImageObject, Organization, Person and WebPage.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.summusglobal.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (732 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.summusglobal.com/llms.txt (64 KiB, 142 links, though it should open with a “# Title” line), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    https://www.summusglobal.com/resources has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 21 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • No opening hours

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

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 810 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 810 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: “Contact” and “Get in touch”.

  • 7 calls to action

    The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Contact us”, “Get in touch” and “Learn more”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and HubSpot.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and HubSpot (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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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