justwatch.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 68). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

The page has 6,197 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

About 525 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

49 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, TikTok and Snapchat and others), adding 1.1 MB and 575 ms of main-thread time.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 453 ms of main-thread work and 806 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.

17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 359 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (35 KiB).

About 26 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 23.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 6.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Your streaming guide for movies, TV shows & sports Discover…”.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 390 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.14 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 246 ms to 243 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 4.7 MB in 348 requests on a phone: images 2.6 MB (117), scripts 1.7 MB (122) and HTML 220 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images further down the page (66 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.33 g of CO₂e: 159.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 279 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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 banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.

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

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

Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

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

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

Your meta description is only 39 characters: “All your streaming services in one app.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

No XML sitemap at https://www.justwatch.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

The homepage links to 537 pages on justwatch.com and 42 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.

There is no /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.

/us/lists/public-lists is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

/ and /us/lists/public-lists all use the title “JustWatch - The Streaming Guide”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/us/provider/apple-tv-plus and /us/provider/apple-tv use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

/us/lists/public-lists has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 196 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

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 400 ()”.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

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 1,077 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
