How it loaded on a phone

3.1 s
4.1 s
5.1 s
6.1 s
7.1 s
8.1 s
tcsurf.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
audioeye-services.com adds 3.1 s
3.1 saudioeye-services.com costs a phone 3.1 s of main-thread work and 310 KiB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 535 KiBAbout 535 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.6 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.
Main-thread work: 9.1 s
A phone's processor spends 9.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
4,117 HTML elements
The page has 4,117 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 (audioeye-services.com, Shopify and Osano CMP and others), adding 1.9 MB and 4.0 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 827 KiB24 images could be 827 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Shopify adds 304 ms
304 msShopify costs a phone 304 ms of main-thread work and 888 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.
Klaviyo adds 240 ms
240 msKlaviyo costs a phone 240 ms of main-thread work and 441 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 163 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (163 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 50 KiBAbout 50 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.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 141 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
51 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 51 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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.3 MB in 327 requests
5.3 MBYour homepage downloads 5.3 MB in 327 requests on a phone: images 1.8 MB (43), scripts 1.6 MB (110) and other files 1.3 MB (143). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
TC_HOMESLIDER_HOLIDAY_MENS_MOBILE.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 in older formats
1 image (132 KiB) 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.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.51 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.51 g of CO₂e: 181.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children.

1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
7 links without text
7 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
button, link, and menuitem elements do not have accessible names.
button, link, and menuitem elements do not have accessible names. (1 element).
Hidden but focusable
1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 3 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO

353 internal links, 10 external
The homepage links to 353 pages on tcsurf.com and 10 external pages.
6 checks passed

Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,020 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
7 pages without a meta description
/collections/new-arrivals-mens, /collections/mens-shirts-1, /collections/t-c-surf-men-shorts, /collections/t-c-surf-men-boardshort, /collections/t-c-surf-men-pants and /collections/mens-outerwear-1 and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1
/pages/shipping-and-delivery, /pages/return-policy, /collections/new-arrivals-1, /collections/mens-collection, /collections/new-arrivals-mens and /collections/mens-short-sleeve-tees and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

36 of 43 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt

7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (tcsurf.com).
Valid certificate (47 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for tcsurf.com and is valid for another 47 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://tcsurf.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

All 47 links work
All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
tcsurf.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
tcsurf.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 30 years old
30 yearstcsurf.com was registered in Jun 1996 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jun 2027
tcsurf.com is registered until Jun 2027.
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 124 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.
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.
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 811 words of copy
The homepage carries about 811 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
30 calls to action
The homepage has 30 calls to action, for example “Shop All”, “Shop All Bottles” and “Shop by Brand”.
3 short forms

LocalBusiness structured data
Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be tcsurf.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 60/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
