Google PageSpeed Insights (opens in a new tab), mobile
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
1.1 s · 392 KiB6 images could be 392 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.2 s · 217 KiBAbout 217 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your mobile performance score is 66. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
550 ms · 57 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (57 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
450 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Shopify adds 175 ms
175 msShopify costs a phone 175 ms of main-thread work and 336 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.
1,659 HTML elements
The page has 1,659 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, cloudonegalaxy.com and Bootstrap CDN and others), adding 435 KiB and 214 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 39 KiBAbout 39 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 92 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Main-thread work: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 429 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 7 ms
7 msYour server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.0 s
8.0 sYour largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 8.0 s
8.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.7 s
5.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.9 s
2.9 sThe first text or image appears after 2.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.017
0.017The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.017, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 43 ms
43 msScripts block the page for only 43 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
IMG_8625.jpg 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).
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.54 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.54 g of CO₂e: 64.7 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: 1.9 MB in 126 requests
1.9 MBYour homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 126 requests on a phone: other files 735 KiB (64), scripts 528 KiB (43) and images 514 KiB (7). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 245 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 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: 47 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (22 characters)
Your title is only 22 characters: “Spartans Football Club”. 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.
Meta description is short (42 characters)
Your meta description is only 42 characters: “The home of Burnaby Spartans Football Club”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
44 internal links, 19 external
The homepage links to 44 pages on burnabyspartans.ca and 19 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://spartansfc.ca/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data

2 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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://spartansfc.ca/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
11 pages without a meta description
https://spartansfc.ca/pages/about-us, https://spartansfc.ca/pages/11s-ares, https://spartansfc.ca/pages/ares, https://spartansfc.ca/pages/poseidon, https://spartansfc.ca/pages/zeus and https://spartansfc.ca/pages/hades and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
https://spartansfc.ca/pages/about-us, https://spartansfc.ca/pages/artemis, https://spartansfc.ca/pages/nemesis, https://spartansfc.ca/products/spartans-club-member and https://spartansfc.ca/pages/sponsors have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
Only about 133 words
The homepage has only about 133 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed
