otakon.com website review

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

49 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (322 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 77 (desktop: 94). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 33 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 image could be 20 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

About 153 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 81 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

1 third-party service load with your homepage (Google Fonts), adding 88 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

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

3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Otakon 2027 Convention of Otaku Generation! August 6, 2027 …”.

The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 943 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The page becomes fully interactive after 4.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 71 ms to 70 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.26 g of CO₂e: 31.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

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

Your title is only 29 characters: “Otakon.com - By Fans for Fans”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

The homepage links to 104 pages on otakon.com and 11 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

There is no https://otakon.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.

Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://otakon.com/concerts, whose canonical is https://otakon.com/2026concerts. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 44 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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 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 95 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.

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

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