Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.8 MB
4.8 MBYour homepage downloads 4.8 MB on a phone, 2.5 MB of it images (52%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (27 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.36 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.36 g of CO₂e: 163.1 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
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
22 tap targets too small
22 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 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
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
159 internal links, 24 external
The homepage links to 159 pages on turnto23.com and 24 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 124 characters
Your meta description is 124 characters: “23ABC News covers the latest breaking news, weather, sports, and traffic for the City of Bakersfield and all of Kern Co…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Weather”.
Title: 53 characters
Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “23ABC News Bakersfield: Breaking News Weather Traffic”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.turnto23.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: WebPage.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.turnto23.com/sitemap.xml.
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 https://www.turnto23.com/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 2 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot and Google-Extended, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
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 (1,481 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
14 pages without a meta description
https://www.turnto23.com/live, https://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news, https://www.turnto23.com/news/national-news, https://www.turnto23.com/sports, https://www.turnto23.com/videos and https://www.turnto23.com/breaking-news-alerts and 8 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.turnto23.com/news/national-news has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 135 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

Mobile viewport set

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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 1,362 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,362 words of visible text.

Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Comscore, Criteo, Google Ads and Google Analytics and 3 mores (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.
17 cookies set on arrival
17Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

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 turnto23.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
