Speed

9 to fix47
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.0 s · 820 KiB

    About 820 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.0 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 47

    47/100

    Your mobile performance score is 47 (desktop: 68). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 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 (Google/Doubleclick Ads, TikTok and DoubleVerify and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 361 KiB

    25 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (361 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    500 ms · 112 KiB

    About 112 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google/Doubleclick Ads adds 409 ms

    409 ms

    Google/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 409 ms of main-thread work and 574 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    300 ms · 66 KiB

    1 image could be 66 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 12 long tasks on the main thread

    12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 155 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    50 ms · 15 KiB

    15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix0
  • 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 CLS: 0.43

    0.43

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.43 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • First Contentful Paint: 9.0 s

    9.0 s

    The first text or image appears after 9.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 17.3 s

    17.3 s

    Your largest element takes 17.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “poster”.

  • Time to Interactive: 23.0 s

    23.0 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 23.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.1 s

    12.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Real visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 444 ms

    444 ms

    Real visitors wait 444 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 360 ms

    360 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 360 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 5 images without width and height

    5 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 378 ms to 378 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user FCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 700 ms

    700 ms

    Real visitors wait 700 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 10% faster for real visitors

    -10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.8 s to 2.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.026

    0.026

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.026, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 4.9 MB in 250 requests

    4.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.9 MB in 250 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (70), other files 1.3 MB (100) and images 670 KiB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.38 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.38 g of CO₂e: 166.0 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

8 to fixGoogle 7588
  • 14 text elements with low contrast

    14 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (2 elements)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 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.

  • 2 links without text

    2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

1 checks passed
  • 37 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9290
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 5 internal links, 1 external

    The homepage links to 5 pages on monkey.app and 1 external page.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “Meet new people and talk to strangers worldwide on Monkey, the safest random video chat. Connect with real humans via l…”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Monkey: Random Video Chat | Talk to Strangers Instantly”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.monkey.app/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: FAQPage, Organization, SoftwareApplication, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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.monkey.app/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (642 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.monkey.app/llms.txt (1 KiB, 0 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

3 to fix78
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    https://www.monkey.app/sc declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and https://www.monkey.app/sc all use the title “Monkey: Random Video Chat | Talk to Strangers Instantly”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    https://www.monkey.app/omegle and https://www.monkey.app/sc have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://www.monkey.app/hc.html has 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.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 5 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 5 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 7776
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.monkey.app/0.

  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix50
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • About 691 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 691 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Start” and “talk to strangers”.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and TikTok 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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening 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.

  • 27 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 27 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 monkey.app, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
