Compare side by sideOne score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
arcade.software adds 1.8 s
1.8 sarcade.software costs a phone 1.8 s of main-thread work and 4.8 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Render-blocking requests
2.2 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.2 s.
Google Tag Manager adds 1.2 s
1.2 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 1.2 s of main-thread work and 1.3 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Mobile performance score: 45
45/100Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.0 s
A phone's processor spends 8.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (arcade.software, Google Tag Manager and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 6.2 MB and 3.1 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.4 MBAbout 2.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 51 KiBAbout 51 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.
Font display
600 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 600 ms).
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 540 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
233 KiB24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (233 KiB).
Improve image delivery
67 KiB6 images could be 67 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Duplicated JavaScript
14 KiB14 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.

Core Web Vitals
Time to Interactive: 41.0 s
41.0 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 41.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 13.8 s
13.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 13.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 2.9 s
2.9 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 2.9 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 3.8 s
3.8 sYour largest element takes 3.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Create simple reward rules: when customers post reviews, sh…”.
First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
5 images without width and height
5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.052
0.052The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.052, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.4 MB in 235 requests
7.4 MBYour homepage downloads 7.4 MB in 235 requests on a phone: scripts 4.5 MB (154), fonts 1.3 MB (14) and images 1.2 MB (20). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.10 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.10 g of CO₂e: 251.8 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
25 tap targets too small
25 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
22 text elements with low contrast
22 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (41 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 41 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
16 form fields without a label
16 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (9 elements)
Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Create simple reward rules: when customers post r…”, “Turn your users into a growth engine” and “Try It yourself”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (212 characters)
Your meta description is 212 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
39 internal links, 18 external

3 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 (899 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (4 KiB, 24 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices
2 third-party cookies
2 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static.mailerlite.com/css/universal.css?v4' from origin 'https://loyaltysurf.io' h…”.
2 distorted images
2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
5 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
1 broken link to your own pages
1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://loyaltysurf.io/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).
1 broken external link
1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://docs.loyaltysurf.io/integrations/webhooks/events-reference (404).
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.
1 link through redirect chains
1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://facebook.com/loyaltysurf.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (loyaltysurf.io).
Valid certificate (78 days left)
The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for loyaltysurf.io and is valid for another 78 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://loyaltysurf.io 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
loyaltysurf.io 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.
Content and conversion
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 1,356 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,356 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen

Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be loyaltysurf.io is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:sendgrid.net include:amazonses.com include:helpscoutemail.com include:_spf.mlsen…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
