Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
5.8 s · 2.7 MB53 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.7 MB).
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.0 s
A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Facebook and krafton.com and others), adding 2.8 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
YouTube adds 943 ms
943 msYouTube costs a phone 943 ms of main-thread work and 1.7 MB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 474 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 319 KiB15 images could be 319 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
krafton.com adds 70 ms
70 mskrafton.com costs a phone 70 ms of main-thread work and 716 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Reduce unused CSS
154 KiBAbout 154 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
Legacy JavaScript
52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Server response: 19 ms
19 msYour server sent the HTML in 19 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.5 s
10.5 sYour largest element takes 10.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS”.
Time to Interactive: 30.4 s
30.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 30.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 9.2 s
9.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 9.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 1.2 s
1.2 sScripts block taps and scrolling for 1.2 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user LCP: 2.8 s
2.8 sReal visitors wait 2.8 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 351 ms
351 msReal visitors wait 351 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Real-user FCP: 2.1 s
2.1 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.7 s
1.7 sReal visitors wait 1.7 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 275 ms to 281 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
3 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.03
0.03For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.03 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
First Contentful Paint: 1.3 s
1.3 sThe first text or image appears after 1.3 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.044
0.044The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.044, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.7 MB in 92 requests
5.7 MBYour homepage downloads 5.7 MB in 92 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (26), fonts 1.7 MB (7) and images 1.2 MB (31). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
12 images in older formats
12 images (608 KiB) 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.
1 image far larger than shown
108 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example a94b25a.webp at 2,176 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 108 KiB.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (104 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit
1.60 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.60 g of CO₂e: 192.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
13 buttons without a name
13 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
15 tap targets too small
15 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
2 text elements with low contrast
2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (14 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 14 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 22 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
38 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 38 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (19 characters)
Your title is only 19 characters: “PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
6 H1 headlines
There are 6 <h1> headlines (“”, “PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS” and “PATCH NOTES”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
12 links crawlers can't follow
12 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
27 internal links, 24 external
The homepage links to 27 pages on pubg.com and 24 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 147 characters
Your meta description is 147 characters: “PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is a battle royale that pits 100 players against each other. Outplay your opponents to become the l…”.
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://pubg.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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://pubg.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.
2 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (280 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
8 pages share 3 titles
https://pubg.com/en/main, https://pubg.com/en/events/redeem, https://pubg.com/en/media and https://pubg.com/en/community all use the title “PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS”, and 2 other titles repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
7 pages share a meta description
https://pubg.com/en/game-info and https://pubg.com/en/game-info/overview use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 pages without an H1
https://pubg.com/en/game-info and https://pubg.com/en/game-info/overview have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
7 pages with very little text
https://pubg.com/en/game-info/maps, https://pubg.com/en/game-info/weapons, https://pubg.com/en/game-info/vehicles, https://pubg.com/en/events, https://pubg.com/en/events/notice and https://pubg.com/en/events/redeem and 1 other 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 20 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Every page has a meta description
All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
12 small tap targets
12 of 25 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
5 third-party cookies
5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
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
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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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 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.
About 284 words of copy
The homepage carries about 284 words of visible text.
1 checks passed
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads 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.
2 cookies set on arrival
2Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
17 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 17 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 pubg.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
