splicepadel.com website review

8 images could be 549 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.

8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

A phone's processor spends 7.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 3,537 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, aov.ai and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 2.9 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

Shopify costs a phone 998 ms of main-thread work and 2.2 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.

About 1.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Your mobile performance score is 51. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 83 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (126 KiB).

17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 184 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

24 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 26.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 8.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “GIFT PACKS”.

Visually, the page fills in at 12.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 503 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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.

Your homepage downloads 13.3 MB in 539 requests on a phone: media 7.2 MB (2), scripts 2.5 MB (256) and images 1.8 MB (55). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.78 g of CO₂e: 454.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 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.

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

6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is only 12 characters: “Splice Padel”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Splice Padel” and “GRAB IT”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 235 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 123 pages on splicepadel.com and 3 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

https://www.splicepadel.com/en/collections/classic-overgrips, https://www.splicepadel.com/en/collections/perforated-overgrips, https://www.splicepadel.com/en/collections/mix-match, https://www.splicepadel.com/en/collections/kleding, https://www.splicepadel.com/en/collections/t-shirts and https://www.splicepadel.com/en/collections/shorts and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.splicepadel.com/en/collections/mix-match has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 42 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

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

The homepage carries about 787 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and TikTok Pixel (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.

Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 32 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
