Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.3 s · 882 KiB42 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (882 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
2.3 s21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 75 KiBAbout 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 KiBAbout 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 KiBPolyfills 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 msWeb 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 KiB2 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 33 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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 sYour 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 sReal 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 5.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s
2.4 sThe 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.

Images and page weight
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 gBy 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 KiBYour 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
13Opening 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.
