achillionsports.com website review

About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.7 s faster on a phone.

9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (252 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Bigcommerce, Google Tag Manager and Amplitude Mobile Analytics and others), adding 2.7 MB and 702 ms of main-thread time.

9 images could be 412 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Bigcommerce costs a phone 278 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 257 ms of main-thread work and 620 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.

The page has 1,680 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

About 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 180 ms faster on a phone.

Polyfills for old browsers add 50 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 190 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

21 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

13 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

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

5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.

Your largest element takes 16.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Basketball Hoops”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 16.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 978 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 204 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 129 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 95 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (34), images 958 KiB (25) and stylesheets 93 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

achillion_ban.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).

8 images (560 KiB) are 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.

8 images further down the page (274 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

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

7 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

Some list items are not inside a list.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 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.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

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

2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

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

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

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 at https://www.achillionsports.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

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

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 353 pages on achillionsports.com and 8 external pages.

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.

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.

/shipping.html has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 163 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=134628529&Ver=2&mid=81776e02-0a1c-400e-b811-fa151eb2a2b3&bo=1&sid=aea06270d5ed11f19d1599a4752f613f&vid=aea06350d5ed11f1b888438cef47878f&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

8 of 34 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'value')”.

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

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

HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://instagram.com/achillionsports.

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.

achillionsports.com is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

achillionsports.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.

achillionsports.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.

Social proof on the homepage: 17 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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

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 394 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be achillionsports.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

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: 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 Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Ads (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 17 cookies (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 30 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
