Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 238 KiBAbout 238 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 1.3 MB7 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 59
59/100Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
900 ms22 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 900 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 237 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (237 KiB).
Shopify adds 197 ms
197 msShopify costs a phone 197 ms of main-thread work and 522 KiB 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, jQuery CDN and rise-ai.com and others), adding 912 KiB and 305 ms of main-thread time.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Legacy JavaScript
37 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Reduce unused CSS
22 KiBAbout 22 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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 JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.6 MB in 223 requests
3.6 MBYour homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 223 requests on a phone: images 1.7 MB (36), other files 935 KiB (89) and scripts 826 KiB (67). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.01 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.01 g of CO₂e: 121.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
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.
12 images without alt text
12 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (12 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 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
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
295 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 295 pages on svsports.com and 6 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 138 characters
Your meta description is 138 characters: “SV Sports is your one stop shop for sports gear, sportswear, novelties and more. Browse online today and get free shipp…”.
Title: 64 characters
Your title is a healthy 64 characters: “Online Sporting Goods & Sportswear Store | SV Sports – SV SPORTS”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.svsports.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.svsports.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 (632 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.svsports.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.svsports.com/collections/all is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
4 pages without a meta description
https://www.svsports.com/policies/shipping-policy, https://www.svsports.com/pages/nike, https://www.svsports.com/pages/jordan and https://www.svsports.com/pages/overtime have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages without an H1
https://www.svsports.com/collections/all and https://www.svsports.com/collections/mens-footwear have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked

1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 9 customer or partner logos. 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.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 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 371 words of copy
The homepage carries about 371 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop All”.

3 short forms
3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
16 cookies set on arrival
16Opening the homepage sets 16 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.
23 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 23 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 svsports.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
