vesselgolf.uk website review

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Yotpo and Facebook and others), adding 2.3 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 426 ms of main-thread work and 992 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.

12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (451 KiB).

Yotpo costs a phone 222 ms of main-thread work and 400 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.

A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Shopify costs a phone 57 ms of main-thread work and 386 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 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 250 ms.

9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 156 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

About 55 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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.

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.

Real visitors see the first content after 3.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 21.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 3.1 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 91 ms to 112 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 325 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Your homepage downloads 3.8 MB in 235 requests on a phone: scripts 2.5 MB (88), other files 791 KiB (107) and images 350 KiB (24). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

Vessel_Studio-1062.jpg 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).

2 images further down the page (45 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.07 g of CO₂e: 128.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

9 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

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

Your meta description is 250 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 164 pages on vesselgolf.uk and 4 external pages.

https://vesselgolf.uk/pages/vessel-club-uk and https://vesselgolf.uk/pages/best-sellers have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://vesselgolf.uk/pages/vessel-club-uk and https://vesselgolf.uk/pages/best-sellers have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 66 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

21 of 36 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 (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

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 366 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 1 more (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 22 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 40 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
