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
1.1 s · 673 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (673 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42 (desktop: 63). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (confiant-integrations.net, Google Tag Manager and ziffstatic.com and others), adding 1.8 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 899 KiBAbout 899 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 484 KiB14 images could be 484 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
confiant-integrations.net adds 487 ms
487 msconfiant-integrations.net costs a phone 487 ms of main-thread work and 340 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.
ziffstatic.com adds 384 ms
384 msziffstatic.com costs a phone 384 ms of main-thread work and 577 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 385 ms
385 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 385 ms of main-thread work and 335 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 50 KiBAbout 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
14 long tasks on the main thread
14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 326 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,849 HTML elements
The page has 1,849 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Server response: 25 ms
25 msYour server sent the HTML in 25 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Time to Interactive: 20.2 s
20.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.9 s
6.9 sYour largest element takes 6.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Interactive Game Maps”.
First Contentful Paint: 3.9 s
3.9 sThe first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 935 ms

Speed Index: 6.3 s
6.3 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.0 s
1.0 sReal visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 151 ms to 157 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.0 MB in 109 requests
3.0 MBYour homepage downloads 3.0 MB in 109 requests on a phone: scripts 1.9 MB (29), images 745 KiB (25) and other files 119 KiB (39). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images below the first screen load straight away
5 images further down the page (255 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.86 g of CO₂e: 102.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
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.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (560 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 560 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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 281 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (171 characters)
Your meta description is 171 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
271 internal links, 24 external
The homepage links to 271 pages on mapgenie.io and 24 external pages.
7 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Interactive Game Maps”.
Title: 40 characters
Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “MapGenie | Awesome Interactive Game Maps”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://mapgenie.io/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization.
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.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://mapgenie.io/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
robots.txt blocks 6 AI answer engine crawlers
6 of 6Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT search (OAI-SearchBot), ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User), Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User), Perplexity (PerplexityBot) and Perplexity (Perplexity-User). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.
No llms.txt
There is no https://mapgenie.io/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.
Opted out of AI training for 4 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.
2 checks passed
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and description; contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,224 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
8 pages with very little text
https://mapgenie.io/kingdom-hearts-3, https://mapgenie.io/control-resonant, https://mapgenie.io/silent-hill-townfall, https://mapgenie.io/world-of-warcraft-forever/maps/azeroth, https://mapgenie.io/the-blood-of-dawnwalker and https://mapgenie.io/mortal-shell-ii and 2 others 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 197 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 939 words of copy
The homepage carries about 939 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 1788825600”, “Schedule I 1743811200” and “Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 1763078400”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Comscore, Criteo, Google Ads and Google Analytics and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
29 cookies set on arrival
29Opening the homepage sets 29 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
53 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 53 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
Consent tool: OneTrust
A consent management tool (OneTrust) 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 mapgenie.io, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
