Mobile performance score: 87
87/100Your mobile performance score is 87 (desktop: 65). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google/Doubleclick Ads, admetricspro.com and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.5 MB and 605 ms of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 198 KiB9 images could be 198 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
475 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (475 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
443 KiBAbout 443 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google/Doubleclick Ads adds 205 ms
205 msGoogle/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 205 ms of main-thread work and 447 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.
admetricspro.com adds 169 ms
169 msadmetricspro.com costs a phone 169 ms of main-thread work and 447 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.
FontAwesome CDN adds 52 ms
52 msFontAwesome CDN costs a phone 52 ms of main-thread work and 324 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.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 110 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
13 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 13 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.

13.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
40 images without width and height

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.2 MB in 102 requests
2.2 MBYour homepage downloads 2.2 MB in 102 requests on a phone: scripts 1.5 MB (24), images 312 KiB (26) and other files 303 KiB (38). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
44 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example mp-512.png at 512 px wide, shown at 120 px. Resized copies would save about 44 KiB.
3 images in older formats
3 images (170 KiB) 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 below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (36 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.62 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 74.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Links must have discernible text (1 element)
Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (72 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 72 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 63 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. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
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 (213 characters)
Your meta description is 213 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
148 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 148 pages on mathplayground.com and 1 external page.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Purposeful Play. Powerful Learning.”.
Title: 52 characters
Your title is a healthy 52 characters: “Math Playground: Purposeful Play. Powerful Learning.”.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebPage.
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://www.mathplayground.com/sitemap_main.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.mathplayground.com/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.
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.
Organization data: 5 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (386 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.mathplayground.com/brain-boosts.html is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
10 pages without an H1
https://www.mathplayground.com/game_directory.html, https://www.mathplayground.com/kindergarten_games.html, https://www.mathplayground.com/grade_1_games.html, https://www.mathplayground.com/grade_2_games.html, https://www.mathplayground.com/grade_3_games.html and https://www.mathplayground.com/grade_4_games.html and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“The Topics API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.”).
1 third-party cookie

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

63 of 65 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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 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 207 words
The homepage has only about 207 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.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Subscribe”.
2 calls to action

Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.
12 cookies set on arrival
12Opening the homepage sets 12 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
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.
30 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 30 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
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 mathplayground.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
