Render-blocking requests
1.1 s3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 486 KiBAbout 486 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 53 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (53 KiB).
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 196 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (cincopa.com, Google CDN and bjjfanatics.com), adding 80 KiB and 35 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
39 KiB1 image could be 39 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
32 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
19 KiBAbout 19 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

Mobile performance score: 94
94/100Your mobile performance score is 94. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.9 s
A phone's processor spends 0.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 333 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 6.2 s
6.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 3.6 s
3.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
3 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 186 ms
186 msScripts block the page for only 186 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sYour largest element renders in 1.8 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Once you are logged in, you will be able to access all your…”.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
1 image in older formats
1 image (43 KiB) is 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 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.27 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.27 g of CO₂e: 32.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 964 KiB in 15 requests
964 KiBYour homepage downloads 964 KiB in 15 requests on a phone: scripts 881 KiB (11), images 43 KiB (1) and stylesheets 36 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
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
[role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (2 elements)
[role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
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.
1 checks passed
39 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 39 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “BJJFanatics”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
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.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://effectivebasketball.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at effectivebasketball.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
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 https://effectivebasketball.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.
Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
Only about 47 words
The homepage has only about 47 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
Privacy and tracking
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at effectivebasketball.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
