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
15.4 s · 3.0 MB33 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.0 MB).
Improve image delivery
13.6 s · 2.7 MB12 images could be 2.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 13.6 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.4 s · 247 KiBAbout 247 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 68
68/100Your mobile performance score is 68. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
ZenDesk adds 253 ms
253 msZenDesk costs a phone 253 ms of main-thread work and 428 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.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (ZenDesk), adding 428 KiB and 253 ms of main-thread time.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 121 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.8 s
A phone's processor spends 0.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 431 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 12 ms
12 msYour server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 32.5 s
32.5 sYour largest element takes 32.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 32.6 s
32.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 32.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 5.8 s
5.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Tap response (INP) got 21% slower for real visitors
+21%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 103 ms to 116 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 1.9 s
1.9 sReal visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
4 checks passed
Real-user LCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user CLS: 0.00
0.00For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 111 ms
111 msScripts block the page for only 111 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.1 MB in 64 requests
6.1 MBYour homepage downloads 6.1 MB in 64 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (17), other files 2.6 MB (20) and scripts 546 KiB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.7 g of CO₂ per visit
1.73 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.73 g of CO₂e: 208.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
35 images without alt text
35 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
1 checks passed
32 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 36 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 32 passed and 4 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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.
Meta description is long (176 characters)
Your meta description is 176 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
12 internal links, 14 external
The homepage links to 12 pages on kumu.ph and 14 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Play together. Win together.”.
Title: 41 characters
Your title is a healthy 41 characters: “Kumu – Where Authentic Connections Happen”.
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://kumu.ph/sitemap.xml.
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://kumu.ph/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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (423 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
5 pages share a meta description
https://kumu.ph/download, https://kumu.ph/how-it-works, https://kumu.ph/privacy-policy, https://kumu.ph/terms-of-use and https://kumu.ph/about use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages with very little text
https://kumu.ph/download and https://kumu.ph/how-it-works have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
5 internal pages checked
We fetched 5 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
7 checks passed

All 5 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

Best practices
4 distorted images
4 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 21 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 417 words of copy
The homepage carries about 417 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Get Started” and “Download the App”.
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Get Started”, “Download the App” and “🎮 Join Game”.
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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 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).
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 kumu.ph, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
