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
Improve image delivery
5.3 s · 1.1 MB6 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.3 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 955 KiBAbout 955 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.2 s
A phone's processor spends 6.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Freshchat, ContentSquare and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.9 MB and 1.9 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
350 ms · 295 KiB28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (295 KiB).
Freshchat adds 538 ms
538 msFreshchat costs a phone 538 ms of main-thread work and 721 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.
18 long tasks on the main thread
18 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 379 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
ContentSquare adds 353 ms
353 msContentSquare costs a phone 353 ms of main-thread work and 184 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.
rebuyengine.com adds 217 ms
217 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 217 ms of main-thread work and 354 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 99 KiBAbout 99 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.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
Legacy JavaScript
74 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 74 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
6 KiB6 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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 22.7 MB in 444 requests
22.7 MBYour homepage downloads 22.7 MB in 444 requests on a phone: media 17.5 MB (4), scripts 2.3 MB (113) and other files 1.4 MB (271). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images far larger than shown
1.0 MB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Homepage_Mantis.png at 2,095 px wide, shown at 202 px. Resized copies would save about 1.0 MB.
About 6.4 g of CO₂ per visit
6.45 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.45 g of CO₂e: 773.8 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 load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
5 images without alt text
5 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (16 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 16 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
3 form fields without a label
3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 checks passed
36 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 36 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (299 characters)
Your meta description is 299 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
65 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 65 pages on mantisx.com and 10 external pages.
6 checks passed
Title: 49 characters
Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Mantis | Dry Fire Training System & Training Aids”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://mantisx.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and VideoObject.
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://mantisx.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://mantisx.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://mantisx.com/collections/all, https://mantisx.com/collections/shirts and https://mantisx.com/collections/all-items have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://mantisx.com/pages/how-mantisx-works, whose canonical is https://mantisx.com/pages/how-it-works-1. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load

Best practices
5 small tap targets

5 JavaScript errors while loading
5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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 125 words
The homepage has only about 125 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “MANTISX Learn More” and “TITANX Learn More”.
20 calls to action

Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.
35 cookies set on arrival
35Opening the homepage sets 35 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (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.
62 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 62 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 mantisx.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 10 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
