Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
9.4 s · 1.9 MBAbout 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 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (407 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 26
26/100Your 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 KiB1 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 msStripe 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 msreown.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 KiBAbout 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 ms2 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.

Server response: 1 ms

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.6 MB in 407 requests
4.6 MBYour 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 gBy 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
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
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
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
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
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 yearsgala.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
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
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).
