cobragolf.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Improve image delivery
800 ms · 311 KiB8 images could be 311 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.1 MB and 427 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 46 KiBAbout 46 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,039 HTML elements
The page has 2,039 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 158 ms
158 msShopify costs a phone 158 ms of main-thread work and 341 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.
Klaviyo adds 122 ms
122 msKlaviyo costs a phone 122 ms of main-thread work and 322 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
201 KiBAbout 201 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
78 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (78 KiB).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 70 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
16 KiB16 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.7 MB in 451 requests
6.7 MBYour homepage downloads 6.7 MB in 451 requests on a phone: media 3.1 MB (1), other files 1.5 MB (262) and scripts 1.0 MB (149). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.90 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.90 g of CO₂e: 227.6 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
Hidden but focusable
11 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
26 links without text
26 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
6 form fields without a label
6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 5 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (81 characters)
Your title is 81 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “COBRA GOLF | Premium Golf Equipment | Shop Cobra Clubs & Accessories – COBRA Golf”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“COBRA Golf” and “Go Chase More”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (168 characters)
Your meta description is 168 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
Invalid hreflang
Your hreflang tags are invalid, so Google may show the wrong language version.
268 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 268 pages on cobragolf.com and 6 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.cobragolf.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization.
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.cobragolf.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
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 (1,074 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
5 pages without a meta description
/collections/optm-tour-length-drivers, /collections/optm-fairways, /collections/ds-adapt-fairways, /collections/king-tec-irons and /collections/king-black-irons have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1
/collections/optm-drivers, /products/king-tec-mini-driver, /collections/ds-adapt-drivers, /collections/golf-clubs-limited-edition, /collections/optm-tour-length-drivers and /collections/golf-clubs-drivers and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
5 pages with very little text
/collections/golf-clubs-drivers, /collections/3dp-irons, /products/king-irons, /products/king-max-irons and /collections/golf-clubs-irons have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

Security and trust
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.

Valid certificate (61 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WR1 verifies for cobragolf.com and is valid for another 61 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://cobragolf.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 46 links work
All 46 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 6 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
DNSSEC is off
cobragolf.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 31 years old
31 yearscobragolf.com was registered in Dec 1994 through MarkMonitor Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only digicert.com, globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org and pki.goog to issue certificates for cobragolf.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Dec 2027
cobragolf.com is registered until Dec 2027.
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.
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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 186 words
The homepage has only about 186 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.
3 checks passed
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Shop Components”, “Shop By” and “Shop”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity and Hotjar.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be cobragolf.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 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:_spf.google.com include:news.cobragolf.com include:shops.shopify.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “k1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
