rowdiessoccer.com website review

191 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.6 MB).

About 1.9 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.5 s faster on a phone.

19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.6 s.

Google CDN costs a phone 1.3 s of main-thread work and 2.2 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

A phone's processor spends 10.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Your mobile performance score is 27 (desktop: 32). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

75 images could be 7.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 4.4 MB and 3.6 s of main-thread time.

Google/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 624 ms of main-thread work and 660 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.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 449 ms of main-thread work and 323 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.

Facebook costs a phone 378 ms of main-thread work and 279 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.

osano.com costs a phone 347 ms of main-thread work and 79 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 306 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

The page has 2,494 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

About 127 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 260 ms faster on a phone.

39 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Polyfills for old browsers add 46 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Your largest element takes 43.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 58.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 14.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.5 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 4.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 112 ms to 149 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 15.1 MB in 538 requests on a phone: images 9.1 MB (374), scripts 4.6 MB (71) and other files 822 KiB (56). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.27 g of CO₂e: 512.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

61 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

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

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.

75 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

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

Headings skip levels (h1 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is only 28 characters: “Tampa Bay Rowdies - Homepage”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

The homepage links to 94 pages on rowdiessoccer.com and 434 external pages.

There is no https://www.rowdiessoccer.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.

https://www.rowdiessoccer.com/seasonticketexchange, https://www.rowdiessoccer.com/contact-the-ticket-office and https://www.rowdiessoccer.com/tickets-disclaimer have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 68 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

36 of 163 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://data.stbuttons.click/data' from origin 'https://www.rowdiessoccer.com' has been bl…”.

9 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

Social proof on the homepage: 15 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 519 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Osano) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Loading the homepage contacts 27 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
