Speed

9 to fix68
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Main-thread work: 7.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 7.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 68

    68/100

    Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, gotolstoy.com and Shopify and others), adding 1.4 MB and 764 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 534 KiB

    About 534 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 263 KiB

    24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (263 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    300 ms · 49 KiB

    About 49 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.

  • 2,439 HTML elements

    The page has 2,439 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 94 ms

    94 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 94 ms of main-thread work and 525 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Font display

    50 ms

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

  • Improve image delivery

    46 KiB

    3 images could be 46 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    41 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • Server response: 16 ms

  • Real-user INP: 256 ms

1 to fix70

    6.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.5 MB in 569 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (65), other files 1.6 MB (341) and scripts 1.4 MB (106). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (92 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.84 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.84 g of CO₂e: 220.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

6 to fixGoogle 8990
  • 4 tap targets too small

    4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (2 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and 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).

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9285
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “REV PRO 7.0 RECEIVER GLOVES”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (290 characters)

    Your meta description is 290 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.

  • 2 links with vague text

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

  • 252 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 252 pages on cutterssports.com and 7 external pages.

5 checks passed

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,723 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages
