Speed

10 to fix33
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.5 s · 1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.8 s · 1.3 MB

    175 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).

  • Main-thread work: 10.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 10.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 33

    33/100

    Your mobile performance score is 33 (desktop: 59). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google/Doubleclick Ads, adsninja.ca and colliderimages.com and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.8 s of main-thread time.

  • Google/Doubleclick Ads adds 648 ms

    648 ms

    Google/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 648 ms of main-thread work and 834 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    100 ms · 304 KiB

    15 images could be 304 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 369 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • adsninja.ca adds 292 ms

    292 ms

    adsninja.ca costs a phone 292 ms of main-thread work and 503 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.

  • colliderimages.com adds 179 ms

    179 ms

    colliderimages.com costs a phone 179 ms of main-thread work and 776 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 67 KiB

    About 67 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    80 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 80 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 59 but mobile only 33. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • 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: 70 ms

    70 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 70 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.8 s

    20.8 s

    Your largest element takes 20.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Michael Douglas in an interview for 'One Helluva Ride'”.

  • Time to Interactive: 41.5 s

    41.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 41.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.5 s

    7.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.7 s

    12.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.1 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 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) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 129 ms to 147 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 109 ms

    109 ms

    Real visitors wait 109 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

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

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 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: 0.031

    0.031

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.031, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix64
  • Page weight: 4.5 MB in 1,154 requests

    4.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 1,154 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (108), images 612 KiB (373) and other files 371 KiB (500). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    ww_curtisalx_still_16x9_1134x2013px_72dpi_rgb-1-1.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.26 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.26 g of CO₂e: 151.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

10 to fixGoogle 7585
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 28 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 3 tap targets too small

    3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h5, h2 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 10 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 7781
  • No H1 headline

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

  • Title is long (66 characters)

    Your title is 66 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “New Movie News, Movie Trailers & Upcoming Movie Reviews | Collider”.

  • 4 links with vague text

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

  • 232 internal links, 30 external

    The homepage links to 232 pages on collider.com and 30 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 143 characters

    Your meta description is 143 characters: “Stay up to date with new movie news, watch the latest movie trailers & get trusted reviews of upcoming movies & more fr…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://collider.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: WebSite.

  • 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://collider.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

2 to fix53
  • robots.txt blocks 1 AI answer engine crawler

    1 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

  • 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.

  • Opted out of AI training for 4 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.

1 checks passed
  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,129 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    /amazon has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 108 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

4 to fixGoogle 5483
  • 36 third-party cookies

    36 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 17 small tap targets

    17 of 56 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught (in promise) Error: Unable to find element with ID: comments-feed-list.”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • 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.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (87 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for collider.com and is valid for another 87 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://collider.com 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.

  • All 53 links work

    All 53 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 13 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    collider.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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 28 years old

    28 years

    collider.com was registered in Jan 1998 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only letsencrypt.org, amazon.com, amazonaws.com and amazontrust.com to issue certificates for collider.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Feb 2028

    collider.com is registered until Feb 2028.

Content and conversion

3 to fix58
  • 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 756 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 756 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • 8 calls to action

    The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, “Subscribe” and “Join Our Team”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    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.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com include:one.zoho.com ~all”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k2” and “mandrill”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Comscore, Criteo, Google Ads and Google Analytics and 3 mores (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.

  • 17 cookies set on arrival

    17

    Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 69 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 69 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

No signs of neglect in what was checked: the copyright year, CMS and plugin versions, and jQuery.
