arccosgolf.com website review

About 900 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.

11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.0 s.

Your mobile performance score is 21. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 4.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (replocdn.com, Shopify and jQuery CDN and others), adding 1.8 MB and 849 ms of main-thread time.

About 51 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

replocdn.com costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 906 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.

12 images could be 303 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.

Shopify costs a phone 125 ms of main-thread work and 353 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 1,567 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 230 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 35 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (67 KiB).

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

12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

11 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

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.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Your largest element takes 16.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 20.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The layout shifts by 0.849 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 737 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 110 ms to 106 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 224 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (76), other files 864 KiB (90) and images 700 KiB (35). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

11 images (1.7 MB) 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.

9 images further down the page (1.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

AIStrategyHomepageHero-Mobile.webp 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).

3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 22_400x.webp at 400 px wide, shown at 99 px. Resized copies would save about 67 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.08 g of CO₂e: 129.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 dropdown has no label.

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

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

18 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h5, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Arccos Golf Arccos Golf”, “Know Exactly Which Part of Your Game to Fix” and “You Don’t Need A Better Swing, Just A Better Stra…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 302 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, OnlineStore, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.

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

The homepage links to 59 pages on arccosgolf.com and 26 external pages.

/pages/smart-golf-rangefinder is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/pages/why-arccos, /policies/shipping-policy and /pages/smart-golf-rangefinder have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/collections/best-sellers, /pages/members, /pages/how-it-works, /collections/all, /collections/smart-sensors and /collections/accessories and 3 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/pages/members and /pages/how-it-works have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Maximum retries reached. Value not found in local storage.”.

6 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://www.arccosgolf.com/pages/faq (404).

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

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.

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

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

arccosgolf.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.

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

The homepage carries about 772 words of visible text.

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

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 Hotjar (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 15 cookies, 1 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 25 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
