ea.com website review

46 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (815 KiB).

About 721 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

8 images could be 606 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

Your mobile performance score is 37 (desktop: 56). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 662 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, TrustArc and Google/Doubleclick Ads and others), adding 1.1 MB and 518 ms of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 482 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

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 “EA SPORTS FC27 key art with a footballer standing above a c…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 19.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 3.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 471 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.9 s to 5.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

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

Real visitors wait 826 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 278 ms to 308 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 92 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (42), images 756 KiB (13) and fonts 462 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

fc-27-logo-horizontal.png 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).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 107.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

Some list items are not inside a list.

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

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate 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.

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

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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

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

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

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

The homepage links to 43 pages on ea.com and 16 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.

/ea-play has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 38 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

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

X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://myaccount.ea.com/am/ui/payment-wallet/order-history.

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.

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

ea.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.

ea.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.

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 1,182 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 Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (TrustArc) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 11 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
