joessportinggoods.com website review

7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

About 375 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

35 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 56 (desktop: 69). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (124 KiB).

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google Tag Manager and qikify.com and others), adding 1.5 MB and 372 ms of main-thread time.

Shopify costs a phone 214 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB 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.

The page has 1,905 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Polyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 88 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 11 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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

The first text or image appears after 8.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 21.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Game on! Shop Hunting gear at Joe's.”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 22.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 92 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.2 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 274 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (41), other files 1.1 MB (93) and scripts 1.1 MB (91). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

08042026_yeti_banner_mobile_31228334-a944-4229-8dd4-9d092f52 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).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.29 g of CO₂e: 155.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Your title is only 20 characters: “Joe's Sporting Goods”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Your meta description is 302 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 121 pages on joessportinggoods.com and 8 external pages.

Your homepage links to https://joessportinggoods.com/collections/sitka, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

https://joessportinggoods.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://joessportinggoods.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://joessportinggoods.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://joessportinggoods.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://joessportinggoods.com/collections/gamehide have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://joessportinggoods.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 53 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unable to process event: init,[object Object],function(i){t&&t(i),n(i)}”.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 602 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (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.

Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
