Speed
Mobile performance score: 31
31/100Your mobile performance score is 31. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Klevu Search and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 847 KiB14 images could be 847 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
320 ms · 726 KiBAbout 726 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 320 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
500 ms · 120 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (120 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.9 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Google Tag Manager adds 318 ms
318 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 318 ms of main-thread work and 322 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 282 ms
282 msKlaviyo costs a phone 282 ms of main-thread work and 619 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.
2,342 HTML elements
The page has 2,342 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 211 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
20 ms · 58 KiBAbout 58 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 20 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

19.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.581
0.581The layout shifts by 0.581 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Speed Index: 8.2 s
8.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 516 ms
516 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 516 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
10 images without width and height
10 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.9 MB in 305 requests
4.9 MBYour homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 305 requests on a phone: images 2.1 MB (45), scripts 1.6 MB (95) and other files 939 KiB (150). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
2026-october-refresh-B5-tees-mobile_a4d2c781-9633-4eae-b02f- 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).
8 images far larger than shown
329 KiB8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 4297e3e6-8ce2-41c6-9f06-d14c6c8ffdc1.jpeg at 409 px wide, shown at 124 px. Resized copies would save about 329 KiB.
6 images below the first screen load straight away
6 images further down the page (426 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
1 image in older formats
1 image (264 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 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit
1.39 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.39 g of CO₂e: 167.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
10 form fields without a label
10 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).

Every image has alt text
All 46 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 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: 43 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
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Meta description is long (305 characters)
Your meta description is 305 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 3 problems
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 3 problems, for example “Organization: sameAs is not an absolute URL ("#")”.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
362 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 362 pages on tigersports.com and 7 external pages.
4 checks passed
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “The Best Clemson Tigers Gear & Apparel - Tiger Sports Shop”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.tigersports.com/.
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.tigersports.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; logo and description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (895 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.tigersports.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 196 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
39 of 44 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
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: 1 trust badge. 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 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 340 words of copy
The homepage carries about 340 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (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.
30 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 30 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 tigersports.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
