therehab.com website review

About 772 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.0 s faster on a phone.

34 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

Your mobile performance score is 43. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, spreaker.com and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

Google CDN costs a phone 608 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 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.

About 67 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 480 ms faster on a phone.

25 images could be 164 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 182 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

The first text or image appears after 9.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 14.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The Rehab Podcast”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 16.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 9.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 525 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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.

Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 128 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (36), images 373 KiB (31) and other files 359 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image (33 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.

1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 103.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

6 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

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

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, MedicalClinic and Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://www.benzoinfo.com/)”.

The homepage links to 33 pages on therehab.com and 12 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

https://therehab.com/category/podcast-episode has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

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

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

Your longest form asks for 14 fields (3 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

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

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,652 words of visible text.

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

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

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
