404 page
Compression
- This website does not return a 404 error HTTP status code for missing pages. This is bad because search engines like Google might mistake this for a real page of content.
- Ensure your web server returns a 404 HTTP status code for error pages.
- This website was served with GZIP encoding. This is very good because it reduces the loading time of a web page.
- This website returns page content with or without a trailing slash on the URLs. Search engines might see these as separate pages with duplicate content which they could penalise for.
- Use a 301 redirect or a canonical meta tag to force search engines to see the correct version.
Duplicate pages

Images9.5
23% of images have a clearly defined size
3 images are being resized by the browser
- Most images (77.0%) don't have defined sizes using width and height attributes in the HTML. These attributes are optional, but strongly recommended as they help the browser arrange the page more quickly.
- Add width and height attributes to all image tags. The width and height you specify should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use CSS.
Non Explicitly Sized Images
- Add width and height attributes to all image tags. The width and height you specify should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use CSS.
- 3 images are being stretched in the browser.
- The width and height you specify in an image tag should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use the CSS width and height properties.
Internal links9.9
- Additional information has been provided for one link by using a title attribute. There is a common misconception that this benefits screen reader users. All useful text should be in the anchor itself.
- Provide all descriptive information about a link within the anchor itself as the title attribute is not used by screen readers.
Weak title text
Link URL Link text Page URL www.kenosha.org/.../Golf_Course_Scorecard.pdf click here www.kenosha.org/.../golf-course
