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
850 ms · 1.4 MB10 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 850 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 110 KiBAbout 110 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 781 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,626 HTML elements
The page has 1,626 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 (Klaviyo, Google CDN and pxucdn.com and others), adding 452 KiB and 332 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 36 KiB8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (36 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 29 KiBAbout 29 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 62 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
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

Server response: 12 ms
12 msYour server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.5 s
10.5 sYour largest element takes 10.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 10.5 s
10.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
27 images without width and height
27 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors
+11%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 88 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+9%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
1 image over 500 KB
Untitled-1_600x.gif weighs 7.2 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image in older formats
1 image (7.2 MB) 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.
Page weight: 3.7 MB in 219 requests
3.7 MBYour homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 219 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (53), other files 697 KiB (84) and scripts 654 KiB (69). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (23 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.04 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.04 g of CO₂e: 124.8 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
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
26 images without alt text
26 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
24 links without text
24 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (25 characters)
Your title is only 25 characters: “SPRO Sports Professionals”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
4 H1 headlines
There are 4 <h1> headlines (“”, “Login to my account” and “Recover password”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (248 characters)
Your meta description is 248 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
205 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 205 pages on spro.com and 12 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.spro.com/.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.spro.com/sitemap.xml.
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.
3 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (703 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.spro.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 110 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
23 small tap targets
23 of 47 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
9 distorted images
9 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 29 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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.
About 397 words of copy
The homepage carries about 397 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Subscribe”, “Sign Up” and “Shop Now”.
6 short forms
6 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 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.
16 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 spro.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
Apps your storefront loads
Frequently Bought · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Kor Order Limit Quantity · Purchase Limit · pxucdn.com · addons.business
Apps found in the homepage's code. Apps that only run in checkout or the admin aren't seen, and a headless storefront shows none. App data from programmable.info
