aboutgolf.com website review

22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (23.0 MB).

About 1.5 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.4 s faster on a phone.

5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.

A phone's processor spends 13.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Clarity costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 28 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

Your mobile performance score is 23 (desktop: 32). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, website-files.com and pii.ai and others), adding 33.5 MB and 3.5 s of main-thread time.

website-files.com costs a phone 604 ms of main-thread work and 28.8 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 3.3 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 118 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.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 482 ms of main-thread work and 647 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.

pii.ai costs a phone 516 ms of main-thread work and 168 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 60 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

alia-prod.com costs a phone 335 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.

7 images could be 289 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

The page has 2,105 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

23 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

The first text or image appears after 12.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 50.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

Visually, the page fills in at 17.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 5.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The page becomes fully interactive after 60.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Real visitors wait 3.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 87 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 34.2 MB in 207 requests on a phone: media 22.4 MB (2), other files 5.0 MB (47) and images 3.1 MB (65). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image further down the page (29 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 9.68 g of CO₂e: 1162.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

11 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 26 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h6, h2 → h6 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There are 3 <h1> headlines (“aboutGOLF Premium Golf Simulators”, “aboutGOLF Premium Golf Simulators” and “END TO END EXCELLENCE”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

9 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 220 pages on aboutgolf.com and 20 external pages.

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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 45 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error: <svg> attribute width: Expected length, "currentWidth".”.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

4 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://aboutgolf.com/facebook.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

aboutgolf.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.

aboutgolf.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.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

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.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 2,062 words of visible text.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity (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.

Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 33 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
