steamcommunity.com website review

33 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 11.3 s.

About 2.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.4 s faster on a phone.

36 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (619 KiB).

steamstatic.com costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 3.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

Your mobile performance score is 25 (desktop: 18). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

19 images could be 4.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

3 third-party services load with your homepage (steamstatic.com, YouTube and steamusercontent.com), adding 10.1 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

About 112 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 610 ms faster on a phone.

steamusercontent.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 7.0 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.

8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 399 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 536 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

31 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Polyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

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.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.40 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

The first text or image appears after 10.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Your largest element takes 15.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Community Activity Community and official content for all g…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 33.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 11.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The layout shifts by 0.391 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Real visitors wait 236 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 492 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 127 ms to 127 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 10.1 MB in 118 requests on a phone: images 7.3 MB (69), scripts 2.3 MB (29) and fonts 358 KiB (3). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.88 g of CO₂e: 345.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 dropdown has no label.

Links must have discernible text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

8 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

6 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your title is only 15 characters: “Steam Community”. 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.

30 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

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

No XML sitemap at https://steamcommunity.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

The homepage links to 63 pages on steamcommunity.com and 37 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 /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.

/discussions and /market have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/discussions, /workshop, /app/394360, /app/524220, /app/2767030 and /app/412020 have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

12 of 20 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.”).

5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Missing config element # application_config”.

1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

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 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.

The homepage has only about 110 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Opening the homepage sets 4 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 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
