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
4.8 s · 1.3 MB11 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 4.8 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.5 s · 964 KiBAbout 964 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.9 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.
Mobile performance score: 46
46/100Your mobile performance score is 46. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.4 s
A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,060 HTML elements
The page has 3,060 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 (freshworks.com, Google Tag Manager and Shopify and others), adding 2.4 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
950 ms · 505 KiB49 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (505 KiB).
freshworks.com adds 536 ms
536 msfreshworks.com costs a phone 536 ms of main-thread work and 643 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 442 ms
442 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 442 ms of main-thread work and 674 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
300 ms · 85 KiBAbout 85 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.
Shopify adds 151 ms
151 msShopify costs a phone 151 ms of main-thread work and 374 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 42 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 165 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).
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: 11 ms
11 msYour server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 8.1 s
8.1 sThe first text or image appears after 8.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 23.1 s
23.1 sYour largest element takes 23.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “A smiling child with curly red hair swings joyfully on a la…”.
Time to Interactive: 29.4 s
29.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 29.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 12.1 s
12.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 12.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 326 ms
326 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 326 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
14 images without width and height
14 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.086
0.086The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.086, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.0 MB in 381 requests
6.0 MBYour homepage downloads 6.0 MB in 381 requests on a phone: scripts 2.8 MB (125), images 1.9 MB (41) and other files 1.1 MB (192). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (1.3 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
2 images in older formats
2 images (725 KiB) are 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.
4 images far larger than shown
408 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Homepage_Collections_Large_Megasets.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 328 px. Resized copies would save about 408 KiB.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.70 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.70 g of CO₂e: 204.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
32 text elements with low contrast
32 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
5 tap targets too small
5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
15 images without alt text
15 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 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.
10 links without text
10 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.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
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. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
228 internal links, 9 external
The homepage links to 228 pages on swingsets.com and 9 external pages.

AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

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.

Other pages

Best practices
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

19 of 22 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 944 words of copy
The homepage carries about 944 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
