Core Web Vitals

5 to fix0
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

  • Tap response (INP) got 37% faster for real visitors

    -37%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 439 ms to 302 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.4 MB

    5.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.4 MB on a phone, 284 KiB of it images (5%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.52 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.52 g of CO₂e: 182.4 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

8 to fix91
  • 3 tap targets too small

    3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (18 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 18 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 72 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fix83
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 154 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 154 pages on pgatour.com and 11 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 160 characters

    Your meta description is 160 characters: “The official web site of the PGA TOUR. Providing the only Real-Time Live Scoring for the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and K…”.

  • Title: 63 characters

    Your title is a healthy 63 characters: “PGATOUR.COM - Official Home of Golf and the FedExCup - PGA TOUR”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • 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.pgatour.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (503 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.pgatour.com/llms.txt (9 KiB, 27 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 6 pages without a meta description

    https://www.pgatour.com/watch, https://www.pgatour.com/players, https://www.pgatour.com/fantasy-betting, https://www.pgatour.com/dp-world-tour-eligibility-rankings, https://www.pgatour.com/tickets and https://www.pgatour.com/shop have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.pgatour.com/aon-better-decisions and https://www.pgatour.com/pgatour-champions 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 44 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fix87
  • 56 small tap targets

    56 of 85 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: t.setTudeMeta is not a function”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix80
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 419 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 419 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Schedule” and “Shop”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Schedule”, “Shop” and “Contact”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 11 trackers load before any consent

    11

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Amplitude, Comscore, Criteo and Google Ads and 6 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 25 cookies set on arrival

    25

    Opening the homepage sets 25 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 90 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 90 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

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 pgatour.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
