arbiterlive.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 79 (desktop: 70). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 765 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

2 images could be 82 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.

The HTML itself could arrive about 200 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.

About 25 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

About 114 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity and FontAwesome CDN), adding 174 KiB and 67 ms of main-thread time.

2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17 KiB).

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.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Your largest element takes 4.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Search for your school to follow its teams and games.”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).

Visually, the page fills in at 4.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 images (83 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.10 g of CO₂e: 11.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Your robots.txt disallows the whole site for every crawler, so search engines are told to stay out.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.

Your title is only 11 characters: “ArbiterLive”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

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://arbiterlive.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

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

Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

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.

robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Loading the font 'data:font/woff2;base64,d09GMk9UVE8AADDEAAkAAAAAW3gAADB8AABVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATYCJAQGBmADgg…”.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

1 resource load over plain http on your https page (for example http://fonts.cdnfonts.com/css/proxima-nova-2); browsers block or warn about them.

The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.

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

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.

arbiterlive.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.

arbiterlive.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.

Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage has only about 130 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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

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.

arbiterlive.com has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.

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 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 5 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 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
