Speed
Main-thread work: 16.6 s
A phone's processor spends 16.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 9.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
15,203 HTML elements
The page has 15,203 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 40
40/100Your mobile performance score is 40. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, Clarity and reamaze.com and others), adding 4.3 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
572 KiBAbout 572 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 563 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Klaviyo adds 402 ms
402 msKlaviyo costs a phone 402 ms of main-thread work and 628 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 361 KiB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (361 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
330 ms · 75 KiBAbout 75 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 330 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 104 ms
104 msShopify costs a phone 104 ms of main-thread work and 2.8 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.
Clarity adds 261 ms
261 msClarity costs a phone 261 ms of main-thread work and 29 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.
azurefd.net adds 111 ms
111 msazurefd.net costs a phone 111 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.
Improve image delivery
215 KiB10 images could be 215 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.8 MB in 522 requests
6.8 MBYour homepage downloads 6.8 MB in 522 requests on a phone: images 3.6 MB (191), scripts 2.0 MB (166) and other files 699 KiB (96). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (153 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 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.93 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.93 g of CO₂e: 231.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
7 buttons without a name
7 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
110 links without text
110 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 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)
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.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (8 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (70 characters)
Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Kick Game | Online Trainer and Exclusive Sneaker Shop | KickGame.co.uk”.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “The Kick List - The Black Friday Sale Edit Coming…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (289 characters)
Your meta description is 289 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
393 internal links, 64 external
The homepage links to 393 pages on kickgame.com and 64 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.kickgame.com/.
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://www.kickgame.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.kickgame.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.
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 (1,552 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.kickgame.com/policies/shipping-policy has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages without an H1
https://www.kickgame.com/collections/all, https://www.kickgame.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://www.kickgame.com/pages/free-next-day-delivery, https://www.kickgame.com/collections/air-jordan, https://www.kickgame.com/collections/asics and https://www.kickgame.com/collections/benir-clothing have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.kickgame.com/collections/all and https://www.kickgame.com/collections/air-jordan have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 116 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
