Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.6 s · 362 KiBAbout 362 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
6,095 HTML elements
The page has 6,095 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
850 ms · 200 KiB22 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (200 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (ContentSquare, Shopify and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 1.7 MB and 861 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 61
61/100Your mobile performance score is 61. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 423 KiB16 images could be 423 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 143 KiBAbout 143 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Main-thread work: 3.5 s
A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 49 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 49 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Shopify adds 232 ms
232 msShopify costs a phone 232 ms of main-thread work and 779 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.
ContentSquare adds 268 ms
268 msContentSquare costs a phone 268 ms of main-thread work and 187 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.
tidio.co adds 68 ms
68 mstidio.co costs a phone 68 ms of main-thread work and 515 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 66 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
10 KiB10 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 406 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 406 requests on a phone: scripts 1.7 MB (174), other files 997 KiB (160) and images 702 KiB (18). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used (1 element)
Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h4 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 54 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
20 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 23 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 20 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (304 characters)
Your meta description is 304 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 103 pages on gapgames.com.au and 6 external pages.

AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.gapgames.com.au/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.
2 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: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.gapgames.com.au/pages/ways-to-save has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.gapgames.com.au/pages/ways-to-save has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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.
Only about 10 words
The homepage has only about 10 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
Urgency cues
The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).
5 checks passed
21 calls to action
The homepage has 21 calls to action, for example “Pre-order Pre-order”, “Khazalite Holds: Clangunners - Pre-Order” and “Khazalite Holds: Runewright - Pre-Order”.

2 other companies contacted

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).
Security, domain, email and software versions
