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
Improve image delivery
3.9 MB9 images could be 3.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.8 MB11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.8 MB).
Render-blocking requests
550 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.
YouTube adds 0 ms
0 msYouTube costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 476 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.
2 third-party services on the page
2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Fonts and YouTube), adding 558 KiB and 1 ms of main-thread time.
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.
3 checks passed
Mobile performance score: 97
97/100Your mobile performance score is 97. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).
Main-thread work: 0.2 s
A phone's processor spends 0.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 9 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 2 ms
2 msYour server sent the HTML in 2 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.
Real-user FCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 898 ms
898 msReal visitors wait 898 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Speed Index: 4.2 s
4.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+7%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Tap response (INP) got 25% faster for real visitors
-25%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 263 ms to 180 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Largest Contentful Paint: 1.5 s
1.5 sYour largest element renders in 1.5 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “The Arabic hajwala game. Over a million drivers.”.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Time to Interactive: 1.5 s
1.5 sThe page is fully interactive after 1.5 s.
Images and page weight
3 images over 500 KB
3 images weigh 3.4 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
Page weight: 4.2 MB in 18 requests
4.2 MBYour homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 18 requests on a phone: images 4.1 MB (9), fonts 141 KiB (4) and stylesheets 9 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
1.0 MB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example no-escape.png at 1,536 px wide, shown at 406 px. Resized copies would save about 1.0 MB.
8 images in older formats
8 images (4.1 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.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.20 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.20 g of CO₂e: 144.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
37 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 38 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 37 passed and 1 failed. 2 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.
Title is short (7 characters)
Your title is only 7 characters: “RIFFICS”. 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.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
37 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 37 pages on riffics.com and 15 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 122 characters
Your meta description is 122 characters: “An independent studio making mobile games rooted in Gulf and MENA culture, for players in the region and around the wor…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://riffics.com/.
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://riffics.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://riffics.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 (215 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/ and https://riffics.com/ar all use the title “RIFFICS”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
1 page without an H1
https://riffics.com/ar has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
9 pages with very little text
https://riffics.com/games, https://riffics.com/news, https://riffics.com/gallery, https://riffics.com/ar, https://riffics.com/contact and https://riffics.com/games/king-of-drift and 3 others 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 16 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load

Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
17 small tap targets
17 of 43 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 JavaScript errors while loading
2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Loading the script 'https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js/vce701823e78c4301a35b7e07294d87301792088814092'…”.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).
1 checks passed
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 social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Only about 195 words
The homepage has only about 195 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.
3 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Privacy and tracking
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.
3 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 riffics.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
