Speed

9 to fix51
  • Improve image delivery

    4.7 s · 2.3 MB

    7 images could be 2.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.7 s · 807 KiB

    About 807 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, cleantalk.org and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 7.9 MB and 575 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    900 ms · 211 KiB

    About 211 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • vibrahealthcare.com adds 9 ms

    9 ms

    vibrahealthcare.com costs a phone 9 ms of main-thread work and 6.9 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.

  • YouTube adds 542 ms

    542 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 542 ms of main-thread work and 976 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 long tasks on the main thread

    8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 195 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Legacy JavaScript

    18 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 18 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.

  • Forced reflow

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

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix62
  • First Contentful Paint: 9.7 s

    9.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 26.4 s

    26.4 s

    Your largest element takes 26.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Vibra Hospital of Denver”.

  • Time to Interactive: 26.8 s

    26.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 26.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 13.3 s

    13.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 13.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 229 ms

    229 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 229 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 11.8 MB in 72 requests

    11.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.8 MB in 72 requests on a phone: media 6.8 MB (4), images 3.2 MB (14) and scripts 1.3 MB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images in older formats

    3 images (200 KiB) are 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.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (77 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.34 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.34 g of CO₂e: 401.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9094
  • 10 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links look like plain text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (45 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 45 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 3 links without text

    3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h5, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 14 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

7 to fixGoogle 7769
  • No meta description

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

  • Title is short (24 characters)

    Your title is only 24 characters: “Vibra Hospital of Denver”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 6 H1 headlines

    There are 6 <h1> headlines (“Getting you back to better,”, “Welcome to Vibra Hospital of Denver” and “Elevating Patient Care”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://vhdenver.com/sitemap_index.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 4 links with vague text

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

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 86 internal links, 14 external

    The homepage links to 86 pages on vhdenver.com and 14 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://vhdenver.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://vhdenver.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.

3 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,116 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 10 pages without a meta description

    https://vhdenver.com/about-us, https://vhdenver.com/about-us/certifications-accreditations, https://vhdenver.com/about-us/corporate-compliance, https://vhdenver.com/about-us/mission-values, https://vhdenver.com/about-us/news-announcements and https://vhdenver.com/about-us/nondiscrimination-policy and 4 others have 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 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • 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.

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 5 third-party cookies

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

  • 3 small tap targets

    3 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix86
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 12 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No opening hours

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

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 672 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 672 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SCHEDULE A TOUR”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “Apply for Clinical Privileges”, “Schedule a Tour” and “Contact Us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Matomo.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 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 vhdenver.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
