Speed

4 to fix91
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    4.5 MB

    9 images could be 4.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (website-files.com, cloudfront.net and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 11.4 MB and 157 ms of main-thread time.

  • website-files.com adds 106 ms

    106 ms

    website-files.com costs a phone 106 ms of main-thread work and 11.3 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 18 KiB

    About 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 54 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    8 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 KiB).

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 91

    91/100

    Your mobile performance score is 91. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 203 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 805 ms

    805 ms

    Real visitors wait 805 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Your largest element takes 3.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Building The Future of Fandom”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 18 images without width and height

    18 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 71 ms to 76 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

  • Real-user INP: 83 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 10% faster for real visitors

    -10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Time to Interactive: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    The page is fully interactive after 3.3 s.

  • Speed Index: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.019

    0.019

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.019, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 4 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 11.5 MB in 37 requests

    11.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 11.5 MB in 37 requests on a phone: images 11.2 MB (22), fonts 122 KiB (4) and scripts 121 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 3.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.26 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.26 g of CO₂e: 391.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9699
  • 28 links without text

    28 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (4 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 24 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 41 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10092
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • 29 internal links, 53 external

    The homepage links to 29 pages on wave.tv and 53 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 151 characters

    Your meta description is 151 characters: “Wave Sports and Entertainment is a media company building brands, original content, talent, and products for the next g…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Building The Future of Fandom”.

  • Title: 61 characters

    Your title is a healthy 61 characters: “Wave Sports and Entertainment — Building The Future of Fandom”.

  • 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://www.wavesportsandentertainment.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.wavesportsandentertainment.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 (891 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix93
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://www.wavesportsandentertainment.com/policies/terms and https://www.wavesportsandentertainment.com/policies/privacy use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.wavesportsandentertainment.com/network and https://www.wavesportsandentertainment.com/media have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.wavesportsandentertainment.com/contact has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 8 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 8 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 14 small tap targets

    14 of 61 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to find a valid digest in the 'integrity' attribute for resource 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@flowbase-co/boos…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • 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 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 854 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 854 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “GET IN TOUCH”.

  • 20 calls to action

    The homepage has 20 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Contact” and “GET IN TOUCH”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 6 email links.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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