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
Improve image delivery
2.5 s · 506 KiB11 images could be 506 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
350 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.
2,444 HTML elements
The page has 2,444 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 54 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 249 KiB and 20 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
6 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6 KiB).
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 230 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 11.2 s
11.2 sYour largest element takes 11.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Best All Around Paddle Board best paddleboard for me isup f…”.
Time to Interactive: 11.3 s
11.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 11.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.1 s
6.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.0 s
2.0 sThe first text or image appears after 2.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
0%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 70 ms to 70 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 4 ms
4 msScripts block the page for only 4 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
diatom_kayak_magic_pfd_elemental_2.webp weighs 724 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 178 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 178 requests on a phone: images 1.0 MB (22), other files 598 KiB (46) and scripts 293 KiB (65). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images in older formats
5 images (1.1 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 below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (83 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.63 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.63 g of CO₂e: 75.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
13 links without text
13 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (3 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 32 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
53 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “JOIN THE SEA GODS CREW”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (220 characters)
Your meta description is 220 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
173 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 173 pages on seagods.com and 13 external pages.
6 checks passed
Title: 31 characters
Your title is a healthy 31 characters: “Sea Gods® | Find Your Sanctuary”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://seagods.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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.

AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,293 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://seagods.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://seagods.com/pages/paddleboards and https://seagods.com/collections/paddleboards all use the title “Paddleboards – Sea Gods”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
7 pages without a meta description
https://seagods.com/pages/paddleboards, https://seagods.com/collections/paddleboards, https://seagods.com/collections/all-around-boards, https://seagods.com/collections/kayak-accessories, https://seagods.com/collections/racing-boards and https://seagods.com/collections/gear and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen

No social proof

No analytics detected
