Speed

4 to fix76
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.3 s · 882 KiB

    42 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (882 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.3 s

    21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 76

    76/100

    Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 75 KiB

    About 75 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    170 ms · 80 KiB

    About 80 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 170 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    200 ms · 8 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Tealium, Google Maps and inquicker.com), adding 38 KiB and 84 ms of main-thread time.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 418 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 33 ms

    33 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 33 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.4 s

    5.4 s

    Your largest element takes 5.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Healthcare You Can Count On”.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.9 s

    5.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 2 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 70 ms to 73 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors wait 1.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 71 ms

    71 ms

    Real visitors wait 71 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Total Blocking Time: 98 ms

    98 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 98 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.019

    0.019

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (51 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 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.28 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.28 g of CO₂e: 33.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 998 KiB in 54 requests

    998 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 998 KiB in 54 requests on a phone: fonts 510 KiB (6), scripts 225 KiB (24) and images 102 KiB (13). That is a lean page.

  • 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

7 to fixGoogle 8488
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

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

  • 6 tap targets too small

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

  • 5 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (3 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (9 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

9 to fixGoogle 7561
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is long (98 characters)

    Your title is 98 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Tennova Healthcare | Tennessee | Jefferson | LaFollette | Newport | North Knoxville | Tur…”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Tennova Healthcare”, “Healthy Highlights” and “News & Press Releases”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • 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.tennova.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 7 links with vague text

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

  • 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.

  • 176 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 176 pages on tennova.com and 17 external pages.

1 checks passed
  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 /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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (616 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix70
  • 14 linked pages are broken

    Your homepage links to /tennova-healthcare/contact_us.aspx, /tennova-healthcare/find-a-doctor.aspx, /tennova-healthcare/our-services.aspx, /tennova-healthcare/bariatric-weight-loss.aspx, /tennova-healthcare/behavioral-health-services.aspx and /tennova-healthcare/cancer-care-services.aspx and 8 others, which answer with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop them.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /career-opportunities.aspx has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 73 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 1 page that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 65 small tap targets

    65 of 76 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

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

4 to fix69
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Only about 177 words

    The homepage has only about 177 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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 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.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn More”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Learn More” and “Sign Up For Our E-Newsletter”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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