One score from every part of this review. How it works

Live view · interaction off

Speed

9 to fix26
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    9.4 s · 1.9 MB

    About 1.9 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.4 s · 407 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (407 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 26

    26/100

    Your mobile performance score is 26. 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, 3.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.1 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 7 third-party services on the page

    7 third-party services load with your homepage (Stripe, gala.games and fptls.com and others), adding 693 KiB and 555 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 105 KiB

    1 image could be 105 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Stripe adds 491 ms

    491 ms

    Stripe costs a phone 491 ms of main-thread work and 300 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.

  • reown.com adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    reown.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 330 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 · 26 KiB

    About 26 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

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

  • 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    Real visitors wait 8.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 7.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 27.6 s

    27.6 s

    Your largest element takes 27.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Get GALA”.

  • Speed Index: 15.7 s

    15.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 15.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 27.7 s

    27.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 27.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 7.4 s

    7.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 7.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 2.8 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user INP: 271 ms

    271 ms

    Real visitors wait 271 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user TTFB: 925 ms

    925 ms

    Real visitors wait 925 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +6%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 6.9 s to 7.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user CLS: 0.01

    0.01

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.01 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 13% faster for real visitors

    -13%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 336 ms to 292 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 4.6 MB in 407 requests

    4.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.6 MB in 407 requests on a phone: scripts 2.8 MB (128), other files 1.3 MB (257) and fonts 351 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.32 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.32 g of CO₂e: 158.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

Google 99100
  • No main landmark

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

1 checks passed
  • 20 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 20 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 0 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10089
  • Meta description is long (217 characters)

    Your meta description is 217 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (FAQPage, Organization, WebApplication and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://gala.com)”.

  • 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.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “GalaConnect - Your Gateway to GalaChain”.

  • Title: 39 characters

    Your title is a healthy 39 characters: “Your Gateway to GalaChain | GalaConnect”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://connect.gala.com/.

  • 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://connect.gala.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Organization data: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (259 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 29 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 8189
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“`StorageType.persistent` is deprecated. Please use standardized `navigator.storage` instead.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to execute inlined telemetry script”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix83
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

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

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

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

  • No security.txt

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

4 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (connect.gala.com).

  • Valid certificate (55 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for gala.com and is valid for another 55 days.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://gala.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

    gala.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

    gala.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 31 years old

    31 years

    gala.com was registered in Jul 1995 through Cloudflare, Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2033

    gala.com is registered until Jul 2033.

Content and conversion

5 to fix20
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 259 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 259 words of visible text.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    gala.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • SPF does not block other senders (no all)

    Your SPF record doesn't end in -all or ~all, so it doesn't stop other servers sending as you: “v=spf1 redirect=gala.com.hosted.spf-report.com”.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    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.

1 checks passed
  • DKIM signing found

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 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.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
