Speed
Avoid multiple page redirects
10.2 sThe 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 MBAbout 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
44/100Your 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 msGoogle 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 KiB10 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.

1.36 gBy 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.

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
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)

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

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.

SEO
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

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
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
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.
