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
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.9 s · 317 KiBAbout 317 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, OptiMonk and loox.io and others), adding 2.4 MB and 579 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
756 KiB13 images could be 756 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google Tag Manager adds 341 ms
341 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 341 ms of main-thread work and 363 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.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
Main-thread work: 2.4 s
A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 50 ms
50 msShopify costs a phone 50 ms of main-thread work and 1.6 MB 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.
OptiMonk adds 114 ms
114 msOptiMonk costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 229 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Duplicated JavaScript
150 ms · 17 KiB17 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 53 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (53 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
48 KiBAbout 48 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Total Blocking Time: 306 ms
306 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 306 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 166 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 166 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (57), scripts 1,004 KiB (75) and HTML 82 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.80 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.80 g of CO₂e: 96.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used (1 element)
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
15 images without alt text
15 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
5 text elements with low contrast
5 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

20 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 23 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 3 failed. 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.
8 links with vague text
8 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
105 internal links, 20 external
The homepage links to 105 pages on rapsodo.uk and 20 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 147 characters
Your meta description is 147 characters: “Rapsodo mobile launch monitors give golfers professional-grade data to improve faster — indoors or out. Find the launch…”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “The most realistic simulator experience for your indoor setup”.
Title: 46 characters
Your title is a healthy 46 characters: “Rapsodo® Golf UK - Golf Mobile Launch Monitors”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://rapsodo.co.uk/.
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://rapsodo.co.uk/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.
2 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.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://rapsodo.co.uk/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://rapsodo.co.uk/pages/golf-memberships, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
5 pages share a title
/, https://rapsodo.co.uk/collections/golf, https://rapsodo.co.uk/pages/golf-learning-center, https://rapsodo.co.uk/pages/play-without-limits and https://rapsodo.co.uk/pages/contact all use the title “Rapsodo® Golf UK - Golf Mobile Launch Monitors”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without a meta description
https://rapsodo.co.uk/collections/golf has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://rapsodo.co.uk/pages/play-without-limits, whose canonical is https://rapsodo.co.uk/pages/measure-to-master-with-rapsodo. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages without an H1
https://rapsodo.co.uk/collections/golf and https://rapsodo.co.uk/pages/contact 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 37 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
2 checks passed
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 4 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.
4 distorted images
4 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 4 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.
Only about 10 words
The homepage has only about 10 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
4 checks passed
38 calls to action
The homepage has 38 calls to action, for example “Learn More”, “Shop MLM2XPRO” and “Shop MLM2PRO”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Privacy and tracking
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.
2 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 rapsodo.uk, 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 1 app. It is code from another company running for your shoppers.
