nara.ae website review

About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.1 s faster on a phone.

45 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (313 KiB).

About 226 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 34 (desktop: 62). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 4.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

3 images could be 220 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Facebook and Bing Ads and others), adding 1.5 MB and 744 ms of main-thread time.

YouTube costs a phone 392 ms of main-thread work and 974 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.

11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 368 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 66 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Desktop scores 62 but mobile only 34. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.28 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

The first text or image appears after 10.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 24.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “THE DESERT AFTER DARK HALLOWEEN PARTY SAT, 31 OCTOBER BOOK …”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 25.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 12.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 926 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 128 ms to 154 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Real visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Your homepage downloads 3.6 MB in 185 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (65), images 694 KiB (34) and stylesheets 206 KiB (48). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Logo-animated.gif at 800 px wide, shown at 56 px. Resized copies would save about 70 KiB.

1 image (40 KiB) is 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.02 g of CO₂e: 122.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

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

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

5 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 22 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

17 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.

The homepage links to 142 pages on nara.ae and 15 external pages.

https://www.nara.ae/book has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.nara.ae/book, https://www.nara.ae/product-secret-city-tours, https://www.nara.ae/sonara-camp-dubai and https://www.nara.ae/lady-nara-dubai have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://www.nara.ae/private-events and https://www.nara.ae/product-secret-city-tours took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 34 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187238641&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=37f04672-f9df-4649-993c-cbc5f30182c2&bo=1&sid=75036960cfa511f191396557d5e7d79e&vid=75038400cfa511f1af793b63f386b7c8&vids=1&msclkid=N&gtm_.

5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

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

Large scripts ship without source maps.

Your longest form asks for 12 fields (9 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

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

The homepage carries about 797 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft Ads and Microsoft Clarity (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 25 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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 22 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
