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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.8 s · 1.3 MB101 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).
Render-blocking requests
4.5 s21 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.5 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 s · 420 KiBAbout 420 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
1.1 s · 144 KiBAbout 144 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
1.7 MB9 images could be 1.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 54). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
2,266 HTML elements
The page has 2,266 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Adobe Tag Manager, Pendo and New Relic and others), adding 670 KiB and 185 ms of main-thread time.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 161 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
18 KiB18 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.7 s
A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 916 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 135 ms
135 msYour server sent the HTML in 135 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 14.3 s
14.3 sYour largest element takes 14.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “View MiiR Guide”.
Time to Interactive: 24.5 s
24.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 24.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 6.3 s
6.3 sThe first text or image appears after 6.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.3 s
6.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.5 s
2.5 sReal visitors wait 2.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
11 images without width and height
11 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 120 ms to 115 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 12% slower for real visitors
+12%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.5 MB in 186 requests
5.5 MBYour homepage downloads 5.5 MB in 186 requests on a phone: images 3.5 MB (63), scripts 1.1 MB (93) and fonts 566 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
FA26-TravisMathew-Flex-Banner-Final.png weighs 620 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
16 images in older formats
16 images (2.7 MB) are 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.
3 images far larger than shown
425 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example FA26-TravisMathew-Flex-Banner-Final.png at 1,440 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 425 KiB.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.55 g of CO₂e: 186.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
10 form fields without a label
10 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
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 (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 256 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.sanmar.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
577 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 577 pages on sanmar.com and 10 external pages.
3 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Get CarriedAway This Fall”.
Title: 41 characters
Your title is a healthy 41 characters: “Wholesale Apparel, Bags and Caps | SanMar”.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.sanmar.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.
1 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.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 92 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
2 third-party cookies
2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
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 404 ()”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
18 of 18 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Only about 127 words
The homepage has only about 127 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Bags”.
18 calls to action
The homepage has 18 calls to action, for example “Other Contact Options”, “Contact” and “New Customer Sign Up”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (3 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
11 cookies set on arrival
11Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
14 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 14 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 sanmar.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
