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
Mobile performance score: 84
84/100Your mobile performance score is 84 (desktop: 90). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Accessibe Accessibility Overlay, cloudfront.net and TrustArc and others), adding 1.7 MB and 325 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
344 KiBAbout 344 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
cloudfront.net adds 158 ms
158 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 158 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 195 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
150 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
52 KiBAbout 52 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
22 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
17 KiB2 images could be 17 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
6 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6 KiB).
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 316 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 1 ms
1 msYour server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 10.4 s
10.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.4 s
3.4 sYour largest element takes 3.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Total Blocking Time: 234 ms
234 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 234 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
9 images without width and height
9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 127 ms to 129 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 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 58.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.7 MB in 47 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 47 requests on a phone: images 772 KiB (26), scripts 583 KiB (10) and fonts 307 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (4 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 40 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (208 characters)
Your meta description is 208 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

The homepage links to 36 pages on 9round.com and 10 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Maximum Burn in Just 30 Minutes”.
Title: 65 characters

AI search readiness
4 checks passed

Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (827 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (5 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages

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.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.trifectanutrition.com/9Round.
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.
6 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (9round.com).
Valid certificate (136 days left)
The certificate from GoDaddy.com · GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 verifies for 9round.com and is valid for another 136 days.
HSTS enabled
Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https

HTTP/2

All 35 links work
All 35 links checked from your homepage (26 internal, 9 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
9round.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
9round.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 18 years old

Registered until Mar 2027

Content and conversion
No analytics detected

Email authentication

Email authentication score: 75/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 +a +mx include:_spf.bigcommerce.com include:mailgun.org include:emailsrvr.com include:mailsenders.netsuite.com i…”.
DKIM signing found
