Speed

5 to fix78
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.5 s · 758 KiB

    59 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (758 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 78

    78/100

    Your mobile performance score is 78 (desktop: 90). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 228 KiB

    8 images could be 228 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    160 ms · 323 KiB

    About 323 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2,656 HTML elements

    The page has 2,656 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Adobe Tag Manager, Didomi and sensic.net and others), adding 802 KiB and 376 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    160 ms · 50 KiB

    About 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 20 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 20 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 on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 137 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    7 KiB

    7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 770 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    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.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.3 s

    12.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    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 image.

  • Real-user TTFB: 888 ms

    888 ms

    Real visitors wait 888 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 4.7 s

    4.7 s

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

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

    2.3 s

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

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 126 ms to 121 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors wait 1.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 156 ms

    156 ms

    Real visitors wait 156 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 82 ms

    82 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 82 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (35 KiB) is 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.

  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 49.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.5 MB in 116 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 116 requests on a phone: scripts 852 KiB (42), images 384 KiB (42) and fonts 114 KiB (7). That is a lean page.

  • 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

4 to fixGoogle 9795
  • Links must have discernible text (29 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 29 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    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.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (9 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 243 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9294
  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://en.as.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 6 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 240 internal links, 77 external

    The homepage links to 240 pages on as.com and 77 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 139 characters

    Your meta description is 139 characters: “Sports coverage, breaking news, live events, scoreboards and complete sport information: soccer, NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA, g…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “AS USA”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “AS USA | Soccer, NFL, NBA, MLB, golf, latest news and more”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://en.as.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: ItemList and WebSite.

  • 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.

AI search readiness

2 to fix53
  • robots.txt blocks 4 AI answer engine crawlers

    4 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out 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.

  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 2 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks ClaudeBot 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 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,432 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

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

  • 1 link to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /latest_news/when-will-the-2027-social-security-cola-be-announced-new-benefit-amounts-to-be-announced-on-this-date-clone-f202610-n, whose canonical is /latest_news/when-is-the-2027-social-security-cola-announced-new-benefit-amounts-to-be-revealed-on-this-date-f202610-n. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 196 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 6988
  • 4 third-party cookies

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

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “pmuser - getProductAccessRightsLocal: error during getProductAccessRightsLocal TypeError: Cannot read properties of und…”.

  • 7 distorted images

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

  • Browser-reported issues

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

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    19 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix88
  • http:// does not redirect

    http://as.com does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.

  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

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

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (en.as.com).

  • Valid certificate (21 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for as.com and is valid for another 21 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/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 60 links work

    All 60 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 20 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 52 days

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

  • No CAA record

    as.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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    as.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.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 28 years old

    28 years

    as.com was registered in Dec 1997 through Ascio Technologies, Inc. Danmark - Filial af Ascio technologies, Inc. USA. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

5 to fix57
  • 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.

  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • No direct contact details

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

  • No opening hours

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

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • No map or directions link

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

  • 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.

  • About 1,179 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,179 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Close sports schedule”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 88 customer or partner logos and 3 trust badges.

Email authentication

100
  • Domain receives no email

    as.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 score: 100/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: reject

    DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:_u.as.com._spf.smart.ondmarc.com -all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 16 cookies set on arrival

    16

    Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Didomi

    A consent management tool (Didomi) loads with the page.

  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
