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
1.2 MB17 images could be 1.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Mobile performance score: 71
71/100Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
950 ms19 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 950 ms.
2,819 HTML elements
The page has 2,819 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
200 ms · 51 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (51 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 36 KiBAbout 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
1 long task on the main thread
1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 53 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Cloudflare CDN, contivio.com and Google Fonts and others), adding 255 KiB and 9 ms of main-thread time.
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: 0.7 s
A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 79 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 15 ms
15 msYour server sent the HTML in 15 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: 15.9 s
15.9 sYour largest element takes 15.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 16.7 s
16.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 16.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user INP: 202 ms
202 msReal visitors wait 202 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 28% slower for real visitors
+28%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 125 ms to 152 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user TTFB: 934 ms
934 msReal visitors wait 934 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 4.4 s
4.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.4 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.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, 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).

Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 18.3 MB in 164 requests
18.3 MBYour homepage downloads 18.3 MB in 164 requests on a phone: media 13.6 MB (7), images 4.0 MB (64) and scripts 325 KiB (38). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
lx2.png weighs 565 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Rectangle_37.png 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 (109 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 5.2 g of CO₂ per visit
5.18 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 5.18 g of CO₂e: 621.7 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
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 58 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 8 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (7 characters)
Your title is only 7 characters: “SkyGolf”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
272 internal links, 31 external
The homepage links to 272 pages on skygolf.com and 31 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 160 characters
Your meta description is 160 characters: “Welcome to SkyGolf, your premier destination for cutting-edge golf technology. Explore innovative GPS rangefinders, sma…”.

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: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,788 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://skygolf.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://skygolf.com/collections/swingtrax-1 and https://skygolf.com/pages/product-comparison-chart have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1
https://skygolf.com/collections/shop-all, https://skygolf.com/pages/shipping-policy, https://skygolf.com/collections/gametrax, https://skygolf.com/collections/gametrax-1, https://skygolf.com/products/gametrax-360 and https://skygolf.com/pages/why-gametrax-360-offers-more and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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.
About 978 words of copy
The homepage carries about 978 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

72 calls to action
The homepage has 72 calls to action, for example “Shop Now”, “Learn More” and “Pro Demo Unit Clearance Sale”.
17 short forms
17 short forms (6 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Social proof on the page
Social proof on the homepage: 108 testimonial or review blocks, 2 customer or partner logos and 12 trust badges.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Hotjar.
Privacy and tracking

7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
27 cookies set on arrival
27Opening the homepage sets 27 cookies (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.
42 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 42 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 skygolf.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
