Speed
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Main-thread work: 2.5 s
A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Klaviyo adds 221 ms
221 msKlaviyo costs a phone 221 ms of main-thread work and 320 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.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Shopify and nfcube.com and others), adding 741 KiB and 357 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
93 KiB8 images could be 93 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused JavaScript
48 KiBAbout 48 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
23 KiBAbout 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
19 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (19 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 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.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.8 s
7.8 sYour largest element takes 7.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Speed Index: 9.5 s
9.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 10.0 s
10.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 40% slower for real visitors
+40%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 114 ms to 166 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
4 images without width and height
4 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+1%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.3 MB in 358 requests
2.3 MBYour homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 358 requests on a phone: other files 1.0 MB (177), scripts 717 KiB (132) and images 318 KiB (14). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
5i-events-banner-m.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.65 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.65 g of CO₂e: 78.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
11 text elements with low contrast
11 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA commands must have an accessible name (4 elements)
ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
3 tap targets too small
3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 12 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 4 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Five Iron Golf Australia | Indoor Golf Simulation | Leagues & Lessons”.
Meta description is long (285 characters)
Your meta description is 285 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
54 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 54 pages on fiveirongolf.au and 5 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://fiveirongolf.au/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://fiveirongolf.au/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://fiveirongolf.au/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.
3 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.
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 (292 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a title
https://fiveirongolf.au/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
https://fiveirongolf.au/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
2 pages without a meta description
https://fiveirongolf.au/collections/all and https://fiveirongolf.au/customer_authentication/redirect have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
5 pages without an H1
https://fiveirongolf.au/collections/all, https://fiveirongolf.au/customer_authentication/redirect, https://fiveirongolf.au/pages/book-simulator, https://fiveirongolf.au/pages/rentals and https://fiveirongolf.au/pages/leagues 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 23 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load
5 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Best practices
4 small tap targets
4 of 20 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 200 words
The homepage has only about 200 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SUBSCRIBE”.
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “BOOK NOW”, “Contact Us” and “JOIN NOW”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (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.
23 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 fiveirongolf.au, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
