Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB on a phone, 565 KiB of it images (23%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.69 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.69 g of CO₂e: 83.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • 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 fix89
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    6 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 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.

  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 200 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (41 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 41 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 82 links without text

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

  • 79 form fields without a label

    79 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 checks passed
  • 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. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fix79
  • Title is short (18 characters)

    Your title is only 18 characters: “Bleacher Creatures”. 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.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Bleacher Creatures” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (237 characters)

    Your meta description is 237 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 409 internal links, 3 external

    The homepage links to 409 pages on bleachercreatures.com and 3 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.bleachercreatures.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.bleachercreatures.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 (1,533 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

1 to fix95
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /collections/nba, /collections/nhl-all-items, /collections/wwe, /collections/college, /collections/more and /collections/nba-kuricha and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

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

6 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.

  • 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

1 to fix93
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Suppressed error while exporting metrics: TypeError: Failed to fetch ”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    273 of 280 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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.

  • 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 (bleachercreatures.com).

  • Valid certificate (46 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for bleachercreatures.com and is valid for another 46 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://bleachercreatures.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 43 links work

    All 43 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 3 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    bleachercreatures.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 24 years old

    24 years

    bleachercreatures.com was registered in Apr 2002 through Register.com - Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

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

  • Registered until Apr 2027

    bleachercreatures.com is registered until Apr 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No social proof

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

  • 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 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 1,252 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,252 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “SHOP NOW”.

  • 75 short forms

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

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    bleachercreatures.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • 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: 35/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a mx include:zerolag.com ~all include:custspf.register.com ~all”.

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.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
