overthebrick.com website review

8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.2 s.

Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 215 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

The page has 2,505 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Judge.me, Klaviyo and Google CDN and others), adding 600 KiB and 300 ms of main-thread time.

6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (29 KiB).

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 104 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

4 images could be 50 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 28 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

15 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.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Your largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Preorders”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 8.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 86 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.4 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 0.53 g of CO₂e: 63.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images must have alternative text: 98 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

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

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

[role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

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

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

Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Over the Brick – All your gaming needs. Board Games, Role Playing Game”.

Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 161 pages on overthebrick.com and 4 external pages.

The HTML your server sends has 741 of the 1,825 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

https://overthebrick.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://overthebrick.com/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://overthebrick.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://overthebrick.com/collections/preorder-updates, https://overthebrick.com/collections/arkham-horror, https://overthebrick.com/collections/dragonfire, https://overthebrick.com/collections/keyforge and https://overthebrick.com/collections/lord-of-the-rings-the-card-game and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://overthebrick.com/collections/board-games, https://overthebrick.com/collections/board-games/Card-Game and https://overthebrick.com/collections/board-games/Dice-Game use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://overthebrick.com/collections/board-games/Card-Game, whose canonical is https://overthebrick.com/collections/board-games/card-game. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

https://overthebrick.com/customer_authentication/redirect and https://overthebrick.com/collections/preorder-updates have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 147 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

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 shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

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 1,825 words of visible text.

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

Opening the homepage sets 12 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 22 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
