leadoutgear.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Mobile performance score: 70
70/100Your mobile performance score is 70. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 384 KiB4 images could be 384 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 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.
Render-blocking requests
250 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 110 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
3 third-party services on the page
3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, searchatlas.com and shop.app), adding 102 KiB and 71 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
40 ms · 29 KiBAbout 29 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 40 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
28 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (28 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.5 s
A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 417 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.9 s
6.9 sYour largest element takes 6.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Lead Out Gear”.
Time to Interactive: 7.0 s
7.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 7.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.5 s
5.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 60 ms
60 msScripts block the page for only 60 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.6 MB in 132 requests
4.6 MBYour homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 132 requests on a phone: media 2.7 MB (2), images 769 KiB (10) and other files 627 KiB (62). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (33 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.31 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.31 g of CO₂e: 156.7 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
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h1 → h3 and h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“.logo_image { max-height: unset!important; width:…”, “.logo_image { max-height: unset!important; width:…” and “Bags that don’t bounce, fray, or quit. Fabrics st…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
17 internal links, 11 external
The homepage links to 17 pages on leadoutgear.com and 11 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 118 characters
Your meta description is 118 characters: “Lead Out! Makers of premium, ultra-durable, bike bags. Designed by cyclists in Los Angeles, CA for cyclist everywhere.”.
Title: 45 characters
Your title is a healthy 45 characters: “Lead Out! | Premium Bike Bags – Lead Out Gear”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://leadoutgear.com/.
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://leadoutgear.com/sitemap.xml.
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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (375 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 page without a title
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.
1 linked page hidden from search
/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
5 pages without a meta description
/customer_authentication/redirect, /policies/shipping-policy, /policies/refund-policy, /policies/privacy-policy and /policies/terms-of-service have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/customer_authentication/redirect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/collections/all-products has 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.
7 internal pages checked
We fetched 7 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Linked pages load

2 links through redirect chains
2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://leadoutgear.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en®ion_country=US.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

leadoutgear.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be leadoutgear.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
