depositphotos.com website review

About 498 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 213 ms of main-thread work and 378 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.

5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Other Google APIs/SDKs and others), adding 502 KiB and 242 ms of main-thread time.

7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 160 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 22 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (13 KiB).

1 image could be 12 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

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.

Your largest element takes 6.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Trending: Background Wallpaper Business Purchase Music Cele…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 296 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 261 ms to 327 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

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

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 202 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.45 g of CO₂e: 53.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Required ARIA attributes must be provided: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

No XML sitemap at https://depositphotos.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

The homepage links to 17 pages on depositphotos.com and 0 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.

robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, 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, which the crawlers above handle.

/editorial-photography.html, /music.html, /ai-assistant.html, /ai-image-generator.html and /photo/sportive-blonde-woman-running-at-open-stadium-279158070.html have 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.

/photos/purchase.html and /photos/music.html took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 13 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1”; 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.

depositphotos.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.

depositphotos.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.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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

The homepage has only about 94 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

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 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.

Opening the homepage sets 15 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
