Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Real-user INP: 211 ms
211 msReal visitors wait 211 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
0%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 205 ms to 208 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

-36%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.4 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB on a phone, 1.1 MB of it images (25%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
logos.png weighs 708 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
1 image in older formats
1 image (708 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (30 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.22 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.22 g of CO₂e: 146.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Hidden but focusable
3 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Frames without titles
2 frames have no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what they contain.
2 tap targets too small
2 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
72 links without text
72 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 73 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
210 internal links, 29 external
The homepage links to 210 pages on pagesix.com and 29 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 133 characters
Your meta description is 133 characters: “Your source for the latest celebrity news, entertainment headlines and celeb gossip, with exclusive stories, photos, vi…”.
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Page Six: Latest Celebrity News, Entertainment News & Gossip”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://pagesix.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: WebPage and WebSite.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://pagesix.com/sitemap-1999.xml.
AI search readiness
robots.txt blocks 3 AI answer engine crawlers
3 of 6Your robots.txt shuts out Claude search (Claude-SearchBot), Claude (Claude-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.
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 /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.
Opted out of AI training for 4 crawlers
robots.txt blocks ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers.
1 checks passed
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,608 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
18 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
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.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 279 words of copy
The homepage carries about 279 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Sign Up”, “Contact Us” and “Contact”.
1 short form

Privacy and tracking

10Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Comscore, Criteo, Google Ads and Google Analytics and 5 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
