What stood out
Overall assessment
clevelandclinic.org is in strong technical condition at the scale of this crawl. Every analyzed page had a title, an H1, a self-referencing canonical and HTTPS, and 91 of 100 URLs passed every check SiteAuditLint runs. All nine AI crawlers are allowed and an llms.txt file is published.
The most structural finding is the entry path. https://clevelandclinic.org/ reaches the live site at my.clevelandclinic.org through two temporary 302 redirects, first to www and then to the my. subdomain.
The remaining items are refinements: description and title length on pediatric and service templates, Open Graph gaps on 13 pages, and one service hub (/services) that carries a noindex, nofollow directive.
Audit methodology
SiteAuditLint started from the website's homepage and crawled up to 100 URLs by following discoverable internal links and the URLs listed in the XML sitemap. Results represent the URLs reached during the crawl and do not constitute a complete audit of the entire website.

Major findings
1. Two-hop temporary redirect from the root domain
MediumFinding: https://clevelandclinic.org/ returns a 302 to https://www.clevelandclinic.org/, which returns another 302 to https://my.clevelandclinic.org/.
Why it matters: Each hop adds a request, and a 302 signals a temporary move. When the destination is permanent, a single 301 is the clearer signal. See redirects.
| URL | Response |
|---|---|
https://clevelandclinic.org/ | 302 to https://www.clevelandclinic.org/ |
https://www.clevelandclinic.org/ | 302 to https://my.clevelandclinic.org/ |
Recommended fix: Redirect both hostnames straight to https://my.clevelandclinic.org/ with a single 301, if the move is permanent.
2. Noindex on the /services hub
MediumFinding: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/services returns noindex, nofollow. It is also one of the 5 slow URLs (1,020 ms) and has a 27-character title.
Why it matters: A noindex, nofollow hub keeps the page out of search results and tells crawlers not to follow its links to individual services. If the hub is meant to be found, the directive blocks it.
| URL | Directive |
|---|---|
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/services | noindex, nofollow |
Recommended fix: Confirm whether the services hub should be indexed. If so, remove the directive and expand the title.
3. Slow server responses
MediumFinding: 5 URLs took longer than 1,000 ms to respond. The slowest was /locations at 1,440 ms.
Why it matters: Location and service pages are common entry points for patients, and slow first responses delay them.
| URL | Result |
|---|---|
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/locations | 1,440 ms |
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/canada | 1,185 ms |
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/services | 1,020 ms |
Recommended fix: Review caching on the locations and services templates.
4. Long meta descriptions and titles
LowFinding: 19 meta descriptions exceed 160 characters and 10 titles exceed 60 characters. Most are pediatric service pages that run 161 to 164 characters.
Why it matters: Text past these lengths is often cut off in search results. The overruns are small, so trimming a few words per template would resolve most. See on-page SEO checks.
| URL | Evidence |
|---|---|
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/pediatrics/services/orthopaedics-care | Description 164, title 61 characters |
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/pediatrics/services/endocrinology-care | Title 62 characters |
Recommended fix: Shorten the shared wording in the pediatric services title and description pattern.
5. Incomplete Open Graph tags
LowFinding: 13 pages are missing Open Graph fields. /locations, /florida, /search and /services lack og:title and og:description; 6 service pages lack og:image.
Why it matters: Open Graph tags control how pages appear when shared in social and messaging apps.
| URL | Evidence |
|---|---|
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/locations | Missing og:title, og:description |
https://my.clevelandclinic.org/services/nutrition-care | Missing og:image |
Recommended fix: Add default Open Graph values to the location hub and service templates.
6. Broken outbound MyChart links on /canada
LowFinding: The /canada page links to two mychart.thp.ca login URLs that could not be reached during the crawl.
Why it matters: Patient portal links that fail send visitors to an error. See broken link checker.
Recommended fix: Confirm the current MyChart URL for Canadian patients and update the two links.

Audit limitations
The crawl was limited to 100 URLs and started from the homepage, so only URLs discovered through internal links and the XML sitemap are represented. A 100-URL crawl does not represent the entire website. Findings reflect the site at the time of the crawl on October 4, 2026. SiteAuditLint analyzed the HTML returned by the server, so content added later by JavaScript and responses that differ for automated clients may not match what a browser shows. This audit evaluates technical observations, not overall business or search performance.
This is an independent SiteAuditLint analysis of publicly accessible pages. It was not requested or endorsed by Cleveland Clinic, and it does not imply that Cleveland Clinic uses SiteAuditLint.
