What Dr Urls found on metadesign.com

From the audit of their public home page on 22/10/2026, worst first. Each links to what it means and how it is fixed.

• high
  Time to First Byte (TTFB) is slow

  TTFB directly impacts all subsequent loading metrics.

• medium
  All internal links are in navigation only

  Google values contextual links within the body content more highly than boilerplate navigation links.

• medium
  Cache-Control header missing

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

• medium
  Duplicate ID attributes found

  Duplicate IDs cause label elements, aria-labelledby, aria-describedby, and fragment link targets to associate with the wrong element.

• 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.

• medium
  Thin content (too few words)

  Google's Helpful Content system explicitly targets thin, low-value pages.

• low
  ETag header missing on resources

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

• low
  Missing preconnect hints for critical origins

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

• low
  Multiple H1 headings on page

  Multiple H1 tags can dilute the topical focus of the page.

• low
  Title tag is too short

  Short titles often lack the keyword richness needed to rank for target queries.
