arcade1up.com website review

6 images could be 685 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (87 KiB).

About 78 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 2,298 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, azure.com and cdn-cookieyes.com and others), adding 437 KiB and 360 ms of main-thread time.

About 24 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.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 117 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

10 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

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.

Your largest element takes 14.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 14.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 83 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 238 requests on a phone: images 1,001 KiB (14), other files 909 KiB (128) and scripts 577 KiB (68). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 88.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 85 pages on arcade1up.com and 16 external pages.

/collections/countercades, /collections/accessories, /blogs/buzz, /pages/press-articles, /pages/faq and /pages/arcade1up-companion-app have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/collections/our-best-sellers, /collections/new-arrivals, /collections/supreme-arcades, /collections/deluxe-edition-arcades, /collections/countercades and /collections/accessories and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/pages/press-articles 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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 43 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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 “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://arcade1up.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

arcade1up.com 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.

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 testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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 380 words of visible text.

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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, Pinterest Tag and Snap Pixel and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 40 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
