cc.com website review

17 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 16.1 s.

About 2.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.8 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 41. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 5.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

19 images could be 550 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (47 KiB).

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Tealium, paramount.com and New Relic and others), adding 3.8 MB and 137 ms of main-thread time.

12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 472 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

paramount.tech costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 3.7 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.

The page has 2,209 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Polyfills for old browsers add 37 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

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 wait 7.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors see the first content after 3.3 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 28.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “EXTENDED INTERVIEWS”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 29.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 13.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 955 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors wait 273 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors wait 1.5 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.5 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 225 ms to 216 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 7.1 MB in 204 requests on a phone: images 3.7 MB (161), scripts 3.0 MB (34) and HTML 314 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.00 g of CO₂e: 240.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 187 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 147 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500%: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

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

The homepage links to 50 pages on cc.com and 168 external pages.

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.

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.

/how-to-watch, /episodes/y5qdt9, /video-clips/t974s5 and /video-clips/gpi3wc all use the title “TV Shows | Watch Shows Online | Comedy Central”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/episodes/y5qdt9, /video-clips/cu3o71, /video-clips/51c91d, /video-clips/t974s5, /video-clips/4mbvh4 and /video-clips/wzu30i and 8 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/how-to-watch 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 46 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

HSTS is set, but max-age is 182 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

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.

cc.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.

cc.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.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

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 1,005 words of visible text.

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be cc.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

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.

Opening the homepage sets 7 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
