Speed
Main-thread work: 10.8 s
A phone's processor spends 10.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48 (desktop: 61). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google/Doubleclick Ads, Pubmatic and sdcdns.com and others), adding 2.7 MB and 2.9 s of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.2 MB147 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.2 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
878 KiBAbout 878 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google/Doubleclick Ads adds 589 ms
589 msGoogle/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 589 ms of main-thread work and 636 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.
sdcdns.com adds 452 ms
452 mssdcdns.com costs a phone 452 ms of main-thread work and 882 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.
Pubmatic adds 486 ms
486 msPubmatic costs a phone 486 ms of main-thread work and 276 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.
Rubicon Project adds 450 ms
450 msRubicon Project costs a phone 450 ms of main-thread work and 155 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 284 ms
284 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 284 ms of main-thread work and 308 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.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 281 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
87 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 87 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).
Minify JavaScript
13 KiB13 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Improve image delivery
12 KiB1 image could be 12 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Reduce unused CSS
10 KiBAbout 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
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.

4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 1,139 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (114), other files 542 KiB (542) and images 312 KiB (335). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.15 g of CO₂e: 138.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
ARIA progressbar nodes must have an accessible name (8 elements)
ARIA progressbar nodes must have an accessible name: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
7 text elements with low contrast
7 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (1 element)
ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4, h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 44 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 4 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (78 characters)
Your title is 78 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “SpanishDictionary.com | English to Spanish Translation, Dictionary, Translator”.
37 internal links, 31 external
The homepage links to 37 pages on spanishdict.com and 31 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 109 characters
Your meta description is 109 characters: “The world's most popular Spanish translation website. Over 1 million words and phrases. Free. Easy. Accurate.”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Spanish Learning Made Easy”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.spanishdict.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList.
Open Graph tags complete

robots.txt in place

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.spanishdict.com/sitemap-index-https.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://www.spanishdict.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.
Opted out of AI training for 3 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, 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, which the crawlers above handle.
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.
