Speed

5 to fix67
  • Improve image delivery

    8.1 s · 1.6 MB

    5 images could be 1.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 8.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.5 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 67

    67/100

    Your mobile performance score is 67 (desktop: 81). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    790 ms · 136 KiB

    About 136 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 790 ms faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 2.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 543 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 53 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (53 KiB).

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (GoDaddy, Google Analytics and trustedsite.com and others), adding 69 KiB and 63 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 56 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    25 KiB

    About 25 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.8 s

    15.8 s

    Your largest element takes 15.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “ENTER AN IMMERSIVE WORLD OF GAMING WITH US”.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.8 s

    15.8 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.9 s to 0.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

3 checks passed
  • Tap response (INP) got 10% faster for real visitors

    -10%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 87 ms to 78 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006

    0.006

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 6 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

5 to fix33
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    OthersideOnSiteOct2022-11-1.png weighs 1.2 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    1.5 MB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example OthersideOnSiteOct2022-11-1.png at 1,920 px wide, shown at 142 px. Resized copies would save about 1.5 MB.

  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 42 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 42 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (8), scripts 292 KiB (16) and fonts 101 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 4 images in older formats

    4 images (1.7 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (1.6 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.67 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9597
  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 10 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 3 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 8574
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is long (101 characters)

    Your title is 101 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “OtherSide Entertainment – Information about OtherSide Entertainment, a video game develop…”.

  • No structured data

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

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 23 internal links, 17 external

    The homepage links to 23 pages on otherside-e.com and 17 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Enter AN immersive world of gaming with us”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://otherside-e.com/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://otherside-e.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix83
  • No Organization structured data

    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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://otherside-e.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 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.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 6 pages without a meta description

    https://otherside-e.com/our-games, https://otherside-e.com/about, https://otherside-e.com/news, https://otherside-e.com/contact-us, https://otherside-e.com/terms-conditions and https://otherside-e.com/privacy-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    https://otherside-e.com/our-games, https://otherside-e.com/about, https://otherside-e.com/news and https://otherside-e.com/contact-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 2 pages with very little text

    https://otherside-e.com/our-games and https://otherside-e.com/contact-us have 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.

  • 6 internal pages checked

    We fetched 6 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 6 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 6 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix58
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 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.

  • Only about 140 words

    The homepage has only about 140 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact us”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics (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.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 otherside-e.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
