Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.8 MB

    4.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.8 MB on a phone, 101 KiB of it images (2%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.35 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.35 g of CO₂e: 162.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 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.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fix92
  • ARIA roles used must conform to valid values (1 element)

    ARIA roles used must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 34 links without text

    34 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500% (1 element)

    Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500%: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 38 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 28 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 31 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 28 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fix93
  • Title is short (26 characters)

    Your title is only 26 characters: “Nike. Just Do It. Nike.com”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 447 internal links, 36 external

    The homepage links to 447 pages on nike.com and 36 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 92 characters

    Your meta description is 92 characters: “Inspiring the world's athletes, Nike delivers innovative products, experiences and services.”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “FULLY INVESTED”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.nike.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, WebPage 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.nike.com/sitemap-us-help.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.nike.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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,147 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix75
  • 2 pages without a title

    https://www.nike.com/accessibility and https://www.nike.com/retail have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://www.nike.com/accessibility, https://www.nike.com/retail and https://www.nike.com/orders/details have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.nike.com/retail and https://www.nike.com/orders/details have 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 196 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices

2 to fix78
  • 2 broken images

    2 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=175017889&Ver=2&mid=2cfc7089-f028-4724-a5e2-c3f442b1e779&bo=3&sid=773062d0c5e011f1b39679f995128d96&vid=77306ef0c5e011f1af30e928ff133b41&vids=0&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&l.

  • 6 JavaScript errors while loading

    6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    19 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix67
  • No social proof

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

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 411 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 411 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop NFL” and “Shop Men’s”.

  • 39 calls to action

    The homepage has 39 calls to action, for example “Order Status”, “Order Cancellation” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 11 trackers load before any consent

    11

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel and 6 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.

  • 37 cookies set on arrival

    37

    Opening the homepage sets 37 cookies (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.

  • 42 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 42 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 nike.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
