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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
16.9 s · 4.4 MB20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.4 MB).
Improve image delivery
15.2 s · 3.3 MB4 images could be 3.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 15.2 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
10.3 s · 2.2 MBAbout 2.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.3 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
1.5 s · 111 KiBAbout 111 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 32
32/100Your mobile performance score is 32 (desktop: 25). 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 (onfido.com, robertsstream.com and px-cloud.net and others), adding 881 KiB and 509 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
500 ms · 42 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 42 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 519 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
472 KiB472 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
2,314 HTML elements
The page has 2,314 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
onfido.com adds 146 ms
146 msonfido.com costs a phone 146 ms of main-thread work and 427 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.
Duplicated JavaScript
150 ms · 12 KiB12 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
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: 15 ms
15 msYour server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001
0.001The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 8.3 MB in 98 requests
8.3 MBYour homepage downloads 8.3 MB in 98 requests on a phone: scripts 4.2 MB (44), images 3.6 MB (6) and other files 291 KiB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.3 g of CO₂ per visit
2.34 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.34 g of CO₂e: 281.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
16 buttons without a name
16 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
20 text elements with low contrast
20 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements (1 element)
<dl> elements must only directly contain properly-ordered <dt> and <dd> groups, <script>, <template> or <div> elements: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails 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.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
<td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers.
<td> elements in a large <table> do not have table headers. (3 elements).
1 checks passed
31 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 31 passed and 7 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.
Blocked from indexing
Google's crawler is blocked from indexing this page.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (293 characters)
Your meta description is 293 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://www.tvg.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
3 checks passed
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Online Horse Racing Betting | Watch Horse Racing Live at TVG”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.tvg.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 271 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.
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 /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.
1 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.
Best practices
6 JavaScript errors while loading
6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
60 of 70 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 271 words of copy
The homepage carries about 271 words of visible text.
1 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Sign Up”.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amplitude and Google Tag Manager (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
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.
16 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 16 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 tvg.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
