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
Google Tag Manager adds 2.0 s
2.0 sGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 2.0 s of main-thread work and 687 KiB 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
1.5 s6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.
Mobile performance score: 33
33/100Your mobile performance score is 33. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 9.7 s
A phone's processor spends 9.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
400 ms · 3.8 MB39 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.8 MB).
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Google/Doubleclick Ads and others), adding 1.0 MB and 2.5 s of main-thread time.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 2.4 MB34 images could be 2.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.5 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Document request latency
750 msThe HTML itself could arrive about 750 ms sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Reduce initial server response time
735 msReduce initial server response time. Google estimates savings of 735 ms on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
160 ms · 387 KiBAbout 387 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.
Facebook adds 481 ms
481 msFacebook costs a phone 481 ms of main-thread work and 251 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.
Server response: 835 ms
835 msYour server takes 835 ms to send the HTML. Google recommends under 600 ms; everything else waits for it.
Font display
200 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 200 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
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.
Real-user LCP: 5.5 s
5.5 sReal visitors wait 5.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user FCP: 3.4 s

Time to Interactive: 26.3 s
26.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 26.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.3 s
8.3 sYour largest element takes 8.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Residency “MACAU 2049” Directed by Zhang Yimou”. Most of its time is element render delay (5.3 s).
Total Blocking Time: 2.2 s
2.2 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 2.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 10.6 s
10.6 sVisually, the page fills in at 10.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+7%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 161 ms to 172 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.2 MB in 136 requests
5.2 MBYour homepage downloads 5.2 MB in 136 requests on a phone: images 3.6 MB (48), scripts 1.4 MB (42) and HTML 116 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
26 images in older formats
26 images (1.9 MB) 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.
About 1.5 g of CO₂ per visit
1.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.48 g of CO₂e: 177.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
166 form fields without a label
166 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (45 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 45 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one banner landmark: 1 element on the page fails 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.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 137 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
35 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 42 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
79 internal links, 28 external
The homepage links to 79 pages on mgm.mo and 28 external pages.
6 checks passed

Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.mgm.mo/en.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization.
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.mgm.mo/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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 (569 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://www.mgm.mo/llms.txt (4 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
https://www.mgm.mo/en/stay and https://www.mgm.mo/en/stay/mgm-macau all use the title “MGM MACAU – Forbes Five‑Star Waterfront Luxury with Contemporary Eleg…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages share a meta description
https://www.mgm.mo/en/stay and https://www.mgm.mo/en/stay/mgm-macau use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 links to non-canonical URLs

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: 5 trust badges. 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 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 507 words of copy
The homepage carries about 507 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “BOOK NOW” and “LEARN MORE”.
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “BOOK NOW”, “LEARN MORE” and “JOIN MGM FAN ZONE”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.
Privacy and tracking
4 trackers load before any consent
4Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.
8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 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.
13 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 mgm.mo, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
