Speed

11 to fix48
  • Improve image delivery

    1.5 s · 1.2 MB

    5 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 s

    26 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 48

    48/100

    Your 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 KiB

    About 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 ms

    acdn.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 ms

    lwadm.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 ms

    Google/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 ms

    api.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 KiB

    24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (198 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    130 ms · 32 KiB

    About 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 325 ms

    325 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 325 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.8 s

    9.8 s

    Your largest element takes 9.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.9 s

    18.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.19

    0.19

    The layout shifts by 0.19 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 68 ms to 69 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 16% slower for real visitors

    +16%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 121 ms

    121 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 121 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.5 MB in 330 requests

    4.5 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

6 to fixGoogle 9292
  • 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.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 42 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8570
  • 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

2 to fix53
  • robots.txt blocks 6 AI answer engine crawlers

    6 of 6

    Your 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

6 to fix60
  • 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

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

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 32 third-party cookies

    32 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'register')”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    30 of 35 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

3 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Start”.

  • 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 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before 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

    4

    Opening 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.
