Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
750 ms · 268 KiBAbout 268 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 138 KiBAbout 138 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 212 KiB3 images could be 212 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
2,858 HTML elements
The page has 2,858 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 2.6 s
A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 153 ms
153 msShopify costs a phone 153 ms of main-thread work and 579 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and omnisnippet1.com and others), adding 1,021 KiB and 464 ms of main-thread time.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 14 KiB14 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 158 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
118 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (118 KiB).
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.

First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 267 requests
3.3 MBYour homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 267 requests on a phone: other files 1.1 MB (125), scripts 1.1 MB (84) and images 658 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
99 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example animal_banner900600.png at 1,536 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 99 KiB.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.93 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.93 g of CO₂e: 111.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
15 text elements with low contrast

SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
31 links crawlers can't follow
31 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
Meta description is long (163 characters)
Your meta description is 163 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

AI search readiness

No llms.txt
There is no https://craftsmangolf.com/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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (853 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
