What Dr Urls found on alten.ca

From the audit of their public home page on 23/10/2026, worst first. Each links to what it means and how it is fixed.

• high
  Slow server response time (TTFB > 3s)

  Page speed is a confirmed Google ranking factor, and TTFB is the foundational component.

• high
  Time to First Byte (TTFB) is slow

  TTFB directly impacts all subsequent loading metrics.

• medium
  Cache-Control header missing

  Proper caching prevents browsers from re-downloading unchanged resources, dramatically improving repeat visit performance.

• medium
  Empty heading tag found

  Empty headings waste an opportunity to provide keyword signals and structural context.

• medium
  Images missing width and height attributes

  Missing image dimensions are the leading cause of Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), a Core Web Vital and ranking factor.

• medium
  Scripts without async or defer

  Synchronous scripts halt HTML parsing while the browser downloads and executes them.

• low
  Broken heading hierarchy

  Heading hierarchy provides a semantic outline of the page content.

• low
  ETag header missing on resources

  Without ETags, browsers cannot efficiently validate whether cached resources have changed.

• low
  Excessive inline CSS

  Inline CSS cannot be cached separately by the browser, so it is re-downloaded with every page load.

• low
  Images missing responsive srcset

  Without srcset, a 1200px wide image is downloaded on a 375px wide mobile screen, wasting bandwidth and slowing load times.

• low
  Images not using modern format

  WebP images are 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPEG images, and AVIF offers even greater savings.

• low
  Missing preconnect hints for critical origins

  Each new origin connection requires DNS resolution, TCP handshake, and TLS negotiation, adding 100-300ms of latency.
