catapult.com website review

15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Hubspot and Cookiebot and others), adding 2.4 MB and 994 ms of main-thread time.

10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (681 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 70 (desktop: 44). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 846 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Google CDN costs a phone 438 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

Hubspot costs a phone 347 ms of main-thread work and 778 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 342 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 image could be 218 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 161 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 12 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 20.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ATHLETE MONITORING”.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors wait 903 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 276 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your homepage downloads 16.4 MB in 81 requests on a phone: media 11.9 MB (3), scripts 2.3 MB (39) and images 1.2 MB (13). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.66 g of CO₂e: 558.8 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.

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.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

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

The homepage links to 92 pages on catapult.com and 11 external pages.

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.

/solutions/impect, /solutions/impect-analysis and /solutions/impect-scouting all use the title “Impect | Football Event Data”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

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

/solutions/impect, /solutions/impect-analysis and /solutions/impect-scouting use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

/solutions/impect, /solutions/impect-analysis and /solutions/impect-scouting have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 60 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “fallback is not defined”.

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

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://one.catapultsports.com/.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

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

catapult.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.

catapult.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 testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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

The homepage has only about 120 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be catapult.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

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 Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Cookiebot) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
