Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.5 s · 1.2 MB5 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s26 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 60). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.4 s
A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (lwadm.com, Google/Doubleclick Ads and acdn.no and others), adding 4.5 MB and 789 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
690 ms · 362 KiBAbout 362 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 690 ms faster on a phone.
acdn.no adds 161 ms
161 msacdn.no costs a phone 161 ms of main-thread work and 3.2 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.
lwadm.com adds 323 ms
323 mslwadm.com costs a phone 323 ms of main-thread work and 172 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.
Google/Doubleclick Ads adds 186 ms
186 msGoogle/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 186 ms of main-thread work and 308 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.
1,913 HTML elements
The page has 1,913 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
api.no adds 38 ms
38 msapi.no costs a phone 38 ms of main-thread work and 689 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
198 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (198 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
130 ms · 32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 130 ms faster on a phone.
11 long tasks on the main thread
11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 155 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
72 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 72 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.5 MB in 330 requests
4.5 MBYour homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 330 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (45), scripts 1.4 MB (76) and fonts 268 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (59 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 152.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
8 tap targets too small
8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (13 characters)
Your title is only 13 characters: “Trønder-Avisa”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
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://www.t-a.no/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
80 internal links, 36 external
The homepage links to 80 pages on t-a.no and 36 external pages.
3 checks passed
Meta description: 108 characters
Your meta description is 108 characters: “Lokale nyheter, sport, kultur, næringsliv, hilsener, dødsannonser og mye mer fra Innherred og Nord-Trøndelag”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.t-a.no/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
robots.txt blocks 6 AI answer engine crawlers
6 of 6Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.
No Organization structured data
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.t-a.no/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.
Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.
1 checks passed
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (642 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://www.t-a.no/vis/tema/oppgaver has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
2 linked pages hidden from search
https://www.t-a.no/tronder-avisas-nyhetsstudio/s/5-116-1220805 and https://www.t-a.no/folg-sportsdognet/s/5-116-1211671 are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
5 pages share 2 titles
/ and https://www.t-a.no/abo/portal all use the title “Trønder-Avisa”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
5 pages without a meta description
https://www.t-a.no/tronder-avisas-nyhetsstudio/s/5-116-1220805, https://www.t-a.no/vis/tema/oppgaver, https://www.t-a.no/folg-sportsdognet/s/5-116-1211671, https://www.t-a.no/registrer and https://www.t-a.no/tilgang/ung-gratistilgang have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages share a meta description
https://www.t-a.no/vis/info/qa, https://www.t-a.no/vis/info/tips-oss and https://www.t-a.no/vis/info/kontakt-kundesenteret use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
4 pages without an H1
https://www.t-a.no/abo/portal, https://www.t-a.no/vis/tema/oppgaver, https://www.t-a.no/vis/lokalfotball and https://www.t-a.no/vis/aviskiosk have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://www.t-a.no/registrer has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 45 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
2 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 518 words of copy
The homepage carries about 518 words of visible text.
Urgency cues

3 checks passed
1 call to action

1 short form
A short form (0 fields at most) is right on the homepage.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 7 email links.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads (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.
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 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.
23 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 23 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 t-a.no, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
