Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
5.9 s · 765 KiBAbout 765 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.7 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.
3,524 HTML elements
The page has 3,524 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Bigcommerce and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.3 MB and 840 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
900 ms · 103 KiBAbout 103 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 56
56/100Your mobile performance score is 56. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google CDN adds 447 ms
447 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 447 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Bigcommerce adds 255 ms
255 msBigcommerce costs a phone 255 ms of main-thread work and 941 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 91 KiB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (91 KiB).
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 125 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
119 KiB5 images could be 119 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 15 ms
15 msYour server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 13.9 s
13.9 sYour largest element takes 13.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
First Contentful Paint: 7.4 s
7.4 sThe first text or image appears after 7.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 14.5 s
14.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 14.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.4 s
7.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.21
0.21For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.21 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Real-user TTFB: 955 ms
955 msReal visitors wait 955 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
6 images without width and height
6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+8%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 104 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.003
0.003The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.003, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.7 MB in 88 requests
2.7 MBYour homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 88 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (16), images 506 KiB (51) and other files 394 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Ezzy-Zeta-2025-Carousel.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image far larger than shown
44 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example paypal-banner.png at 1,770 px wide, shown at 339 px. Resized copies would save about 44 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (38 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (111 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.76 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.76 g of CO₂e: 91.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

Hidden but focusable
5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)

Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label

Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 78 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 65 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 12 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
34 links crawlers can't follow
34 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://24-7boardsports.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
5 links with vague text
5 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
286 internal links, 16 external
The homepage links to 286 pages on 24-7boardsports.com and 16 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 156 characters
Your meta description is 156 characters: “Here to make sure you have fun on the water. Shop online, in-store or call for great deals on water sport kit for Wing …”.
Title: 54 characters
Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Watersports Shop Based in Hampshire | 24-7 Boardsports”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://24-7boardsports.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,770 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 175 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
19 small tap targets
19 of 60 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Framing 'https://www.google.com/' violates the following report-only Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestor…”.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (24-7boardsports.com).
Valid certificate (66 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for 24-7boardsports.com and is valid for another 66 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://24-7boardsports.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 50 links work
All 50 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 10 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
24-7boardsports.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
24-7boardsports.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 16 years old
16 years24-7boardsports.com was registered in May 2010 through Team Blue Internet Services IE Limited. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until May 2027
24-7boardsports.com is registered until May 2027.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 27 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
A 8-field form
Your longest form asks for 8 fields (1 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 543 words of copy
The homepage carries about 543 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Sale up to 40% off Wind Wings. Shop now!” and “SHOP NOW”.
14 calls to action
The homepage has 14 calls to action, for example “Sale up to 40% off Wind Wings. Shop now!”, “Contact us: 02380894000” and “SHOP NOW”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 1 email link.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
No SPF record
24-7boardsports.com has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be 24-7boardsports.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 25/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
12 other companies contacted
