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
Render-blocking requests
3.9 s24 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.9 s.
Improve image delivery
1.0 s · 752 KiB5 images could be 752 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 223 KiBAbout 223 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
1.1 s · 177 KiBAbout 177 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60 (desktop: 92). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare and Google Fonts and others), adding 436 KiB and 185 ms of main-thread time.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 28 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 28 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
150 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 114 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Phones get a much slower page than desktops
Desktop scores 92 but mobile only 60. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.0 s
A phone's processor spends 1.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 415 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.4 s
10.4 sYour largest element takes 10.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Our Mission Is to Bring Joy to the World Through Games”.
First Contentful Paint: 6.2 s
6.2 sThe first text or image appears after 6.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 10.6 s
10.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 6.3 s
6.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.2 s

Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s
1.3 sReal visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 132 ms to 124 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 64 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 64 requests on a phone: images 917 KiB (8), scripts 534 KiB (27) and fonts 335 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (64 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
6 links without text
6 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 13 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 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
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 robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at ace.games/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
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.
29 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 29 pages on ace.games and 12 external pages.
3 checks passed
Title: 54 characters
Your title is a healthy 54 characters: “Ace Games – We create fun games to entertain the world”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://ace.games/.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://ace.games/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 /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
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (315 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
/life-at-ace-games, /sustainability, /jobs and /privacy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/privacy has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
4 internal pages checked
We fetched 4 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Tap targets are thumb-sized
10 of 12 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://ace.games/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://ffod.onelink.me/unhV/agwebsite.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (ace.games).
Valid certificate (81 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for ace.games and is valid for another 81 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://ace.games redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
ace.games has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
ace.games's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 7 years old
7 yearsace.games was registered in Apr 2019 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Apr 2027
ace.games is registered until Apr 2027.
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.
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 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 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 272 words of copy
The homepage carries about 272 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Subscribe”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be ace.games is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 60/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics 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.
2 cookies set on arrival
