Top priorities for website improvement
- 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. (read more)
- Consider shortening long anchor text. (read more)
- Consider the amount of text on this website and increase it if appropriate. (read more)
Images6.6
16% of images have a clearly defined size
No images are being resized by the browser
- Most images (84.0%) 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 faster.
- 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.
- 12 images are not in a web-friendly format.
- Make sure all images on this website are JPEG, PNG, SVG or GIF format.
Non Web-Format Images
- Make sure all images on this website are JPEG, PNG, SVG or GIF format.

Amount of content discovered
| Page | Characters | Words |
| www.usa.gov/ | 2740 | 378 |
| www.usa.gov/es/ | 3233 | 458 |
| www.usa.gov/phone | 2003 | 276 |
| www.usa.gov/about-the-us | 1405 | 181 |
| www.usa.gov/complaints | 1407 | 175 |
Internal links8.4
- 8 links use 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.
Overly long link text

Empty link text
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.
