samaa.tv website review

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

A phone's processor spends 5.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google/Doubleclick Ads, avads.live and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.3 MB and 862 ms of main-thread time.

18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (320 KiB).

Google/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 358 ms of main-thread work and 634 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.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).

About 375 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

The page has 1,541 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 187 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 30 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

3 images could be 143 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Polyfills for old browsers add 20 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

8 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 13.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.20 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 578 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The layout shifts by 0.121 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 163 ms to 160 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 139 requests on a phone: scripts 1.1 MB (41), images 416 KiB (22) and fonts 281 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 71.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

19 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: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h6, h3 → h6 and h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your meta description is 267 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 221 pages on samaa.tv and 17 external pages.

There is no https://www.samaa.tv/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://www.samaa.tv/pakistan, https://www.samaa.tv/latest-news, https://www.samaa.tv/money, https://www.samaa.tv/sports, https://www.samaa.tv/lifestyle and https://www.samaa.tv/tech and 4 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://www.samaa.tv/2087359472-iran-s-rezaei-claims-saudi-fears-of-future-israeli-attacks-on-t-rkiye-kingdom and https://www.samaa.tv/2087359471-trump-says-us-has-one-or-two-targets-left-in-iran took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 52 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

17 of 47 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

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 ()”.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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.

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 1,301 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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 25 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 24 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
