Speed

3 to fix69
  • Mobile performance score: 69

    69/100

    Your mobile performance score is 69 (desktop: 88). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    500 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 500 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 96 KiB

    5 images could be 96 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 17 KiB

    About 17 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 12 KiB

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

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, hulkapps.com and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 88 KiB and 28 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 376 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix70
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Your largest element takes 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

2 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.36 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.36 g of CO₂e: 43.8 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: 1.3 MB in 133 requests

    1.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.3 MB in 133 requests on a phone: other files 743 KiB (82), scripts 289 KiB (35) and images 184 KiB (9). 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

7 to fixGoogle 8089
  • 7 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 4 tap targets too small

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • <html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)

    <html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 6 links without text

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

  • No page language

    The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 5 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10084
  • Title is short (21 characters)

    Your title is only 21 characters: “AK Badminton & Tennis”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No structured data

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

  • Meta description is long (310 characters)

    Your meta description is 310 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 46 internal links, 12 external

    The homepage links to 46 pages on akbadminton.com and 12 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “<img src="//www.akbadmintontennis.com/cdn/shop/files/AK_Logo_official_webheader_400x.png?v=1613691961" srcset="//www.ak…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.akbadmintontennis.com/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.akbadmintontennis.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

3 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 (262 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    /customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 11 pages without a meta description

    /customer_authentication/redirect, /collections/rackets, /collections/shoes, /collections/bags, /collections/badminton-accessories and /collections/badminton-clearance and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 low-resolution image

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

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://www.akbadmintontennis.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

  • 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.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

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

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (akbadmintontennis.com).

  • Valid certificate (65 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for akbadminton.com and is valid for another 65 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://akbadminton.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 27 links work

    All 27 links checked from your homepage (17 internal, 10 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    akbadmintontennis.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 6 years old

    6 years

    akbadmintontennis.com was registered in Jul 2020 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, pki.goog, ssl.com and digicert.com to issue certificates for akbadmintontennis.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Jul 2027

    akbadmintontennis.com is registered until Jul 2027.

Content and conversion

5 to fix61
  • No call to action on the first screen

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

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • 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.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • Only about 203 words

    The homepage has only about 203 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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.

4 checks passed
  • 9 calls to action

    The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “Shop Badminton”, “Shop Tennis” and “Shop Pickleball”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Opening hours shown

    Your opening hours are on the homepage.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage.

Email authentication

3 to fix25
  • No SPF record

    akbadminton.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 akbadminton.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

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
