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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.9 s · 1.6 MB26 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.6 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.0 s · 368 KiBAbout 368 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.0 s faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 966 KiB20 images could be 966 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 75
75/100Your mobile performance score is 75 (desktop: 44). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, cdn-cookieyes.com and Sentry and others), adding 1.6 MB and 141 ms of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 133 ms
133 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 133 ms of main-thread work and 318 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.
jackboxgames.com adds 0 ms
0 msjackboxgames.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.3 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 16 KiBAbout 16 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 ms1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 150 ms.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 103 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
9 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
1 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 426 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 7.6 s
7.6 sYour largest element takes 7.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Advert”.
Time to Interactive: 9.7 s
9.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 9.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
21 images without width and height
21 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 106 ms to 112 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.3 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Speed Index: 3.3 s
3.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016
0.016The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 0.8 s
0.8 sThe first text or image appears after 0.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 53 ms
53 msScripts block the page for only 53 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.0 MB in 43 requests
2.0 MBYour homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 43 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (23), scripts 710 KiB (6) and other files 33 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
15 images in older formats
15 images (1.1 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
1 image far larger than shown
88 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example pp11.png at 1,066 px wide, shown at 248 px. Resized copies would save about 88 KiB.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.57 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Links look like plain text
1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
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.
1 checks passed
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (10 characters)
Your title is only 10 characters: “Jackbox.TV”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://jackbox.tv/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at jackbox.tv/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
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.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
1 checks passed
Meta description: 112 characters
Your meta description is 112 characters: “Jackbox.tv is your controller for all of the Jackbox Party Packs and standalone games. Make some weird memories.”.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://jackbox.tv/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.
Best practices
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
3 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Tap targets are thumb-sized
27 of 30 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Only about 108 words
The homepage has only about 108 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
1 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW!” and “BUY NOW ON AMAZON”.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (CookieYes) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
7 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: CookieYes
A consent management tool (CookieYes) loads with the page.
Security, domain, email and software versions
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at jackbox.tv, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
