texags.com website review

218 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5.7 MB).

74 images could be 5.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.2 s faster on a phone.

About 958 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.0 s faster on a phone.

16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 5.5 s.

A phone's processor spends 10.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Your mobile performance score is 34 (desktop: 35). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Ad Lightning, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Rubicon Project and others), adding 3.5 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.

Ad Lightning costs a phone 788 ms of main-thread work and 108 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.

About 101 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 660 ms faster on a phone.

Google/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 533 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 MB 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.

Rubicon Project costs a phone 528 ms of main-thread work and 139 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 311 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

f5s.io costs a phone 163 ms of main-thread work and 1.2 MB 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 34 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 250 ms faster on a phone.

The HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

The first text or image appears after 10.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 35.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “The Loochador Podcast: Midseason misery after Missouri”.

Visually, the page fills in at 21.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 61.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 958 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 70 ms to 70 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 9.4 MB in 1,204 requests on a phone: images 5.7 MB (450), scripts 2.4 MB (83) and other files 690 KiB (535). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

39 images further down the page (1.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

30 images (1.3 MB) 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 are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example south_carolina.png at 182 px wide, shown at 24 px. Resized copies would save about 223 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.66 g of CO₂e: 319.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 dropdown has no label.

7 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

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

<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 96 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

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

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

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

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

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 209 pages on texags.com and 20 external pages.

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.

There is no /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.

Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /football-recruiting/recruits, whose canonical is /football-recruiting/recruitsall. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/forums has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 112 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

19 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

12 of 56 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“The Topics API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.”).

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET”.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 1,060 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager and 3 mores (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.

Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 73 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
