dunhamssports.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

5 to fix44
  • Avoid multiple page redirects

    10.2 s

    The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 10.2 s. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    5.5 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 44

    44/100

    Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 61). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 3.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Google CDN adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 347 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 (Google Tag Manager, Bazaarvoice and bc0a.com and others), adding 681 KiB and 171 ms of main-thread time.

  • 15 long tasks on the main thread

    15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 180 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    10 KiB

    10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.1 s

    18.1 s

    Your largest element takes 18.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 28.9 s

    28.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 28.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.6 s

    4.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.6 s

    6.6 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 633 ms

    633 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 633 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 38 images without width and height

    38 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 17% slower for real visitors

    +17%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 137 ms to 160 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

  • Real-user INP: 127 ms

    127 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 408 ms

    408 ms

    Real visitors wait 408 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.8 MB in 278 requests

    4.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.8 MB in 278 requests on a phone: scripts 3.0 MB (156), images 1.1 MB (82) and stylesheets 361 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.36 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.36 g of CO₂e: 163.2 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

10 to fixGoogle 7686
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    5 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Hidden but focusable

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

  • 4 tap targets too small

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

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

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

  • 6 form fields without a label

    6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500% (1 element)

    Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500%: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (7 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 39 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9277
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is long (77 characters)

    Your title is 77 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Your Local Sporting Goods Store | Coupons, Discounts & More | Dunham's Sports”.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 996 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 996 pages on dunhamssports.com and 11 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “Big Name, Low Prices. Dunham’s Sports Official Website to get Sporting Goods Discounts, Deals & Coupons. See what is av…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.dunhamssports.com/.

  • 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://www.dunhamssports.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    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.

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 (2,018 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 2 pages share a title

    /check-order and /wishlist all use the title “Dunhams Sports”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 9 pages without a meta description

    /view-all-departments, /check-order, /privacy-policy.html, /terms.html, /wishlist and /value-vault and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    /view-all-departments, /check-order, /contactus.html, /privacy-policy.html, /terms.html and /wishlist and 9 others have 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 196 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 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.

  • 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 7391
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Could not get location: [object GeolocationPositionError]”.

  • Requests the geolocation permission on page load

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    47 of 54 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix94
  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://qkly.co/dunhams/mpydEkDJ.

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • No security.txt

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

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (dunhamssports.com).

  • Valid certificate (62 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for dunhamssports.com and is valid for another 62 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://dunhamssports.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 49 links work

    All 49 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 9 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    dunhamssports.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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    dunhamssports.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 27 years old

    27 years

    dunhamssports.com was registered in Feb 1999 through Network Solutions, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Feb 2031

    dunhamssports.com is registered until Feb 2031.

Content and conversion

2 to fix79
  • 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.

  • About 393 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 393 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now” and “Sign Up”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”, “Track Order” and “Sign Up”.

  • 7 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    dunhamssports.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 a:production.na02.dunhamssports.demandware.net include:em3743.dunhamssports.com ~all”.

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

  • 35 cookies set on arrival

    35
