prettysimplegames.com website review

11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6.3 MB).

3 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 5.7 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 77 (desktop: 100). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 300 ms.

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

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 6.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “We make games people love to play.”.

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

Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

The page becomes fully interactive after 6.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 80 ms to 79 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 1.6 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 9.2 MB in 12 requests on a phone: media 7.8 MB (2), images 1.4 MB (6) and stylesheets 6 KiB (1). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

home_sorcery_school.webp weighs 1.0 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

3 images further down the page (1.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

1 image (250 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 2.62 g of CO₂e: 314.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Your title is only 20 characters: “Home | Pretty Simple”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

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

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

There is no robots.txt at prettysimplegames.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

The homepage links to 29 pages on prettysimplegames.com and 8 external pages.

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.

There is no https://prettysimplegames.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.

https://prettysimplegames.com/games.html, https://prettysimplegames.com/about.html, https://prettysimplegames.com/press.html, https://prettysimplegames.com/careers.html, https://prettysimplegames.com/contact.html and https://prettysimplegames.com/games/sorcery-school.html and 4 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

https://prettysimplegames.com/games.html, https://prettysimplegames.com/careers.html, https://prettysimplegames.com/contact.html, https://prettysimplegames.com/games/sorcery-school.html and https://prettysimplegames.com/games/criminal-case.html 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.

We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage 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: net::ERR_FAILED”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

The homepage has only about 236 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.

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.
