Speed

13 to fix32
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    16.9 s · 4.4 MB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.4 MB).

  • Improve image delivery

    15.2 s · 3.3 MB

    4 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 MB

    About 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 KiB

    About 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 s

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 32

    32/100

    Your 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 KiB

    Polyfills 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 KiB

    472 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 ms

    onfido.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 KiB

    12 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 15 ms

    15 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 15 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix0
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • First Contentful Paint: 11.2 s

    11.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 11.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 47.1 s

    47.1 s

    Your largest element takes 47.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Speed Index: 16.8 s

    16.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 16.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 47.3 s

    47.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 47.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Real visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 360 ms

    360 ms

    Real visitors wait 360 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.25

    0.25

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.25 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.0 s to 3.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user FCP: 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.7 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 710 ms

    710 ms

    Real visitors wait 710 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% faster for real visitors

    -11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 439 ms to 382 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001

    0.001

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 8.3 MB in 98 requests

    8.3 MB

    Your 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 g

    By 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

7 to fixGoogle 6487
  • 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

8 to fixGoogle 5860
  • 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

2 to fix63
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 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

4 to fix40
  • 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

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

    Before 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

    8

    Opening 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.
