Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.5 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Improve image delivery
800 ms · 768 KiB6 images could be 768 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
140 ms · 357 KiBAbout 357 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.
2,077 HTML elements
The page has 2,077 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Shopify adds 124 ms
124 msShopify costs a phone 124 ms of main-thread work and 760 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.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and bogos.io and others), adding 919 KiB and 170 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 47 KiBAbout 47 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
Use efficient cache lifetimes
35 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (35 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 278 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 278 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (19), other files 1.6 MB (162) and scripts 827 KiB (74). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images in older formats
5 images (312 KiB) are 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 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.23 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.23 g of CO₂e: 147.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Other pages
1 page points its canonical at the homepage
https://joola.com.au/products/joola-perseus-power-fx-pickleball-paddle-global declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 pages share a title
/ and https://joola.com.au/products/joola-perseus-power-fx-pickleball-paddle-global all use the title “JOOLA Australia | Pickleball & Table Tennis Equipment”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without an H1
https://joola.com.au/collections/pro-v has 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 108 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
