Top priorities for website improvement
- Enable GZIP compression on your web server or in your application. (read more)
- 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. (read more)
- Consider the amount of text on this website and increase it if appropriate. (read more)
Server behaviour5.2
404 page
Compression
- This website handles missing pages correctly by sending a 404 HTTP status code.
- This website was not served using GZIP encoding. GZIP compression is widely supported and reduces the load time of a web page.
- Enable GZIP compression on your web server or in your application.
- One page of this website follows the best practice of using a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect between its URL with/without a trailing slash. This page is ideal.
- 3 of the pages of this website return page content with or without a trailing slash on their 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.
- This website uses a temporary (HTTP 302) redirect from http://www.uthsc.edu to http://uthsc.edu. This is OK, but a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect is considered best practice.
- If possible, change the temporary redirect to a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect.
URL format6.4
3 URLs are less than ideal
- 3 URLs include a file extension.
- Avoid use of file extensions wherever possible. File extensions appear at the end of web addresses, and have several negative effects. They make the address harder to remember or type (particularly for non-technical users), and can reveal the underlying technology of the website making it very slightly more vulnerable to hackers. They also tie the implementation of the website to a specific technology, which can make subsequent migration of URLs difficult. Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating appropriate URLs.

Images8.0
100% of images have a clearly defined size
27 images are being resized by the browser
- All images 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.
- 27 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.

Headings9.0
- All pages were found to use defined headings. This is excellent as it allows visitors and search engines to summarise the content of webpages quickly. Correctly defined headings aid accessibility and are particularly important for search engine optimisation.
- Some pages did not define headings correctly. The H1 tag should be used for the most top-level heading, with H2 being used for sub-headings and H3 for further sub-headings and so-on. Not conforming to this convention may confuse visitors.
- Ensure that headings are defined in a semantically correct way, i.e. always start with a H1 tag. This is used to summarise the page content. Further tags (H2, H3, H4 etc) are meant to summarise and partition sections within the content.

- All pages were found to use page titles appropriately. Page titles appear in search results and at the top of the browser's window when visiting the site. Appropriate page titles are particularly important for search engine optimisation.
Page titles
Internal links10.0
- One link uses text that is too long. Links should describe what they link to briefly. Linking a long block of text usually indicates an attempt to trick search engines into ranking those keywords highly (a strategy which does not work). Long linked blocks of text are also harder for people to scan.
- Consider shortening long anchor text.
