Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 556 KiBAbout 556 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
1.1 s1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 1.1 s.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Framer CDN, Google Tag Manager and Amplitude Mobile Analytics and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
900 ms · 77 KiB6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (77 KiB).
Framer CDN adds 609 ms
609 msFramer CDN costs a phone 609 ms of main-thread work and 1.9 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.
Improve image delivery
513 KiB13 images could be 513 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Google Tag Manager adds 334 ms
334 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 334 ms of main-thread work and 493 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.
Main-thread work: 3.2 s
A phone's processor spends 3.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 27 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 158 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.8 MB in 94 requests
2.8 MBYour homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 94 requests on a phone: scripts 1.2 MB (40), images 1.2 MB (33) and fonts 287 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
12 images below the first screen load straight away
12 images further down the page (395 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit
0.79 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.79 g of CO₂e: 94.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (28 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 28 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 64 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
32 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 32 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Get an expert coach for $0 out-of-pocket”, “Get an expert coach for $0 out-of-pocket” and “Get an expert coach for $0 out-of-pocket”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (238 characters)
Your meta description is 238 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
51 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 51 pages on trainwithkickoff.com and 1 external page.
5 checks passed
Title: 48 characters
Your title is a healthy 48 characters: “Personal Training Covered by Insurance | Kickoff”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/.
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://trainwithkickoff.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.trainwithkickoff.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
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,785 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages point its canonical at the homepage
https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/old-home and https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/for-dietitians declare the homepage as their canonical URL, which tells Google they are copies of the homepage and keeps them out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.
2 linked pages hidden from search
https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/healthy and https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/55-plus are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
3 pages share a title
/, https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/old-home and https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/healthy all use the title “Personal Training Covered by Insurance | Kickoff”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
3 pages without a meta description
https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/privacy, https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/terms and https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/npp have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/old-home and https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/healthy use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 page without an H1
https://www.trainwithkickoff.com/npp has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details

No form on the homepage

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 764 words of copy

5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar (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.
8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

12 other companies contacted

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 trainwithkickoff.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
