Speed

9 to fix75
  • Main-thread work: 4.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 4,091 HTML elements

    The page has 4,091 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 781 KiB

    About 781 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, alia-prod.com and loox.io and others), adding 1.9 MB and 875 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    900 ms

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    507 KiB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (507 KiB).

  • Shopify adds 199 ms

    199 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 199 ms of main-thread work and 626 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.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 116 ms

    116 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 116 ms of main-thread work and 300 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.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 167 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    141 KiB

    4 images could be 141 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    90 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 90 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    55 KiB

    About 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    38 KiB

    38 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 25 ms

    25 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix100

    Real visitors wait 809 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.5 s

    3.5 s

    Your largest element takes 3.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Pro-level pickleball paddles at direct-to-consumer prices. …”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.6 s).

  • 1 image without width and height

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.1 MB in 364 requests

    4.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 364 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (111), other files 1.1 MB (205) and images 625 KiB (23). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.17 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.17 g of CO₂e: 140.0 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

5 to fixGoogle 9094
  • Hidden but focusable

    9 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 5 text elements with low contrast

    5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (19 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 19 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 3 links without text

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 26 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 57 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 63 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 57 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

3 to fixGoogle 10083
  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Best Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddles | Discover CPX Pickleball Paddles”.

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“CPX Pickleball” and “Precision.Power.Prestige.”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (231 characters)

    Your meta description is 231 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 127 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 127 pages on cpxpickleball.com and 10 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://cpxpickleball.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization 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 and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://cpxpickleball.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (3,533 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://cpxpickleball.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://cpxpickleball.com/collections/hall-of-fame-signature-paddles has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://cpxpickleball.com/collections/hall-of-fame-signature-paddles has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 42 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 15 small tap targets

    15 of 30 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • About 1,411 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,411 words of visible text.

8 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop paddles from $99.97”.

  • 5 short forms

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

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 21 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating and “11,000+ Reviews”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.

  • 29 cookies set on arrival

    29

    Opening the homepage sets 29 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 52 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 52 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions
