Speed

8 to fix27
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    17.5 s · 3.0 MB

    46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.0 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    13.3 s · 2.4 MB

    About 2.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 13.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 27

    27/100

    Your mobile performance score is 27 (desktop: 35). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Google Maps and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.7 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 830 ms

    830 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 830 ms of main-thread work and 827 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.

  • Google Maps adds 126 ms

    126 ms

    Google Maps costs a phone 126 ms of main-thread work and 325 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 55 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 55 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 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    32 KiB

    1 image could be 32 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    18 KiB

    About 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix33
  • 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 LCP: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    Real visitors wait 6.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 641 ms

    641 ms

    Real visitors wait 641 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 40.2 s

    40.2 s

    Your largest element takes 40.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Burger King Whopper with the text: Whopper Wednesday”.

  • Speed Index: 17.7 s

    17.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 17.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 41.0 s

    41.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 41.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 3.6 s

    3.6 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 3.6 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.5 s

    4.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 24% slower for real visitors

    +24%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 5.7 s to 7.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Real-user FCP: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 3.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

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

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 463 ms to 526 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.05

    0.05

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.05 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 638 ms

    638 ms

    Real visitors wait 638 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.025

    0.025

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.025, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.6 MB in 214 requests

    5.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 214 requests on a phone: scripts 4.7 MB (52), fonts 609 KiB (5) and other files 173 KiB (129). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.57 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.57 g of CO₂e: 189.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 10095
  • ARIA progressbar nodes must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA progressbar nodes must 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)

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

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

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

1 checks passed
  • 30 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 32 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 30 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

10 to fixGoogle 7551
  • 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.

  • Title is short (11 characters)

    Your title is only 11 characters: “Burger King”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 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.

  • 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.bk.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at bk.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 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.

AI search readiness

1 to fix69
  • 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.

Best practices

Google 96100
  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

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

  • No security.txt

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

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (bk.com).

  • Valid certificate (83 days left)

    The certificate from Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M01 verifies for bk.com and is valid for another 83 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://bk.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2

    The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    bk.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.

  • DNSSEC is off

    bk.com'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 28 years old

    28 years

    bk.com was registered in Jul 1998 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2028

    bk.com is registered until Jul 2028.

Content and conversion

6 to fix25
  • 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 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.

  • Only about 68 words

    The homepage has only about 68 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 ?include:bluehornet.com mx include:campaign.beanstalkdata.com include:spf.mandrillapp.com ip4:129.33.240.27 ip4:…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “s1”, “s2” and “mandrill”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amplitude, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 4 cookies set on arrival

    4

    Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 19 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 19 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.
