Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.5 s · 758 KiB59 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (758 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 78
78/100Your mobile performance score is 78 (desktop: 90). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 228 KiB8 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 KiBAbout 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 KiBAbout 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 KiBPolyfills 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 KiB7 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.

12.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.6 s
4.6 sYour 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 msReal visitors wait 888 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 4.7 s

First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe 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.

Images and page weight
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 gBy 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 MBYour 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
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.

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
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
robots.txt blocks 4 AI answer engine crawlers
4 of 6Your 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
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.

Best practices
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
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
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 yearsas.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
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
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
16Opening 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).
