Speed

9 to fix54
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.9 s · 932 KiB

    About 932 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    2.2 s · 1.1 MB

    32 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.3 s · 605 KiB

    26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (605 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.8 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.8 s.

  • Main-thread work: 8.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,234 HTML elements

    The page has 3,234 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 54

    54/100

    Your mobile performance score is 54. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Clarity, gotolstoy.com and dev-marqo.org and others), adding 1.2 MB and 716 ms of main-thread time.

  • gotolstoy.com adds 121 ms

    121 ms

    gotolstoy.com costs a phone 121 ms of main-thread work and 343 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    280 ms · 43 KiB

    About 43 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 280 ms faster on a phone.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 196 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 13 ms

    13 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 13 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 26.9 s

10 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

  • Real-user LCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 146 ms

    146 ms

    Real visitors wait 146 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

  • Real-user FCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 675 ms

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 158 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 26% faster for real visitors

    -26%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Total Blocking Time: 167 ms

    167 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 167 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix52
  • Page weight: 7.8 MB in 461 requests

    7.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.8 MB in 461 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (118), scripts 2.3 MB (106) and fonts 2.0 MB (30). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    NEW_MOBILE_x750_crop_center.jpg 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 below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (420 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    103 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example home-swim-app-bg-water.png at 2,076 px wide, shown at 650 px. Resized copies would save about 103 KiB.

  • About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.21 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.21 g of CO₂e: 265.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8990
  • 11 text elements with low contrast

    11 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 10 tap targets too small

    10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (4 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 32 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (68 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 68 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • 12 links without text

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

1 checks passed
  • 50 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: 50 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8395
  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 753 internal links, 20 external

    The homepage links to 753 pages on swimoutlet.com and 20 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 132 characters

    Your meta description is 132 characters: “Dive into SwimOutlet.com for unbeatable prices on swimwear, accessories, and gear for swimmers of every level. Start sw…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “SwimOutlet.com - The Web's Most Popular Swim Shop!”.

  • Title: 53 characters

    Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “SwimOutlet.com - The Web's Most Popular Swim Shop! 🏊”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.swimoutlet.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • 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.swimoutlet.com/apps/sitemap/xml/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • Parts of the site are closed to 3 AI crawlers

    Your robots.txt lets ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot) read the homepage but closes other sections to them, so answers about those pages can't cite you.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.swimoutlet.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 checks passed
  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (972 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix88
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    https://www.swimoutlet.com/pages/favorite is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 5 pages without an H1

    https://www.swimoutlet.com/collections/top-brands-21835, https://www.swimoutlet.com/collections/sporti/sporti-granny-sweater-collection-2026, https://www.swimoutlet.com/collections/holiday-gift-guide-21900, https://www.swimoutlet.com/collections/sale-481 and https://www.swimoutlet.com/pages/share have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://www.swimoutlet.com/collections/holiday-gift-guide-21900 and https://www.swimoutlet.com/collections/sale-481 have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 187 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    7 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

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

  • About 950 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 950 words of visible text.

6 checks passed

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Swim Team Shop” and “Training & Fitness Swim Shop”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Microsoft Ads and Microsoft Clarity and 1 more (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.

  • 52 cookies set on arrival

    52

    Opening the homepage sets 52 cookies, 2 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.

  • 48 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 48 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 swimoutlet.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
