Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.5 s · 387 KiBAbout 387 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 804 KiB6 images could be 804 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 67
67/100Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 37 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
cloudfront.net adds 93 ms
93 mscloudfront.net costs a phone 93 ms of main-thread work and 387 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (cloudfront.net, Shopify and Clarity and others), adding 907 KiB and 287 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
250 ms · 26 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (26 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
160 ms · 26 KiBAbout 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
150 ms · 12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 89 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 237 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 237 requests on a phone: images 950 KiB (9), scripts 913 KiB (74) and other files 877 KiB (113). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
fourthbanner.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image in older formats
1 image (216 KiB) is 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 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.85 g of CO₂e: 102.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
4 tap targets too small
4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
50 form fields without a label
50 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 13 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 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 2 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

Other pages
1 page without a title

7 pages without a meta description
https://missionsports.com/collections/all, https://missionsports.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://missionsports.com/products/12-additional-battle-balls, https://missionsports.com/products/battle-golf-club, https://missionsports.com/policies/terms-of-service and https://missionsports.com/policies/privacy-policy and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://missionsports.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://missionsports.com/pages/support, https://missionsports.com/pages/reviews, https://missionsports.com/pages/affiliates and https://missionsports.com/pages/faq have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
