monkeytype.com website review

About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.9 s faster on a phone.

24 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (286 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 31 (desktop: 72). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 6.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (intergient.com, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Amazon Ads and others), adding 1.4 MB and 1.7 s of main-thread time.

intergient.com costs a phone 592 ms of main-thread work and 473 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.

20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 300 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Google/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 264 ms of main-thread work and 278 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 CDN costs a phone 227 ms of main-thread work and 347 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.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

Polyfills for old browsers add 59 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Desktop scores 72 but mobile only 31. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

Your largest element takes 10.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Cookies enhance your experience and help us improve our web…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 21.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 6.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.9 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Real visitors wait 3.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 246 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 203 ms to 246 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.7 MB in 143 requests on a phone: scripts 2.2 MB (57), fonts 262 KiB (6) and other files 148 KiB (62). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.76 g of CO₂e: 91.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

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

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

Your meta description is 162 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

The HTML your server sends has 84 of the 156 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

There is no https://monkeytype.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.

1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

A form field blocks pasting, which frustrates password managers and people on phones.

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

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage has only about 156 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads and Google Ads (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.

Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
