Speed

10 to fix62
  • Improve image delivery

    4.5 s · 5.5 MB

    52 images could be 5.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.5 s · 689 KiB

    About 689 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.5 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    200 ms · 1.9 MB

    20 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.9 MB).

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    450 ms · 79 KiB

    About 79 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    450 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (canalplus.com, JSDelivr CDN and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 2.0 MB and 54 ms of main-thread time.

  • Main-thread work: 2.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 453 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 1,942 HTML elements

    The page has 1,942 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Azure Web Services adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    Azure Web Services costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 1.8 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.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    150 ms · 10 KiB

    10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    9 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 9 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 103 ms

    103 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 103 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • 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 LCP: 5.5 s

    5.5 s

    Real visitors wait 5.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 5.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 18.2 s

    18.2 s

    Your largest element takes 18.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “INK View title”.

  • Time to Interactive: 18.6 s

    18.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 18.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 94 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 93 ms to 89 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 5.6 s to 5.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 82 ms

    82 ms

    Real visitors wait 82 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Total Blocking Time: 137 ms

    137 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 137 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix33
  • Page weight: 7.8 MB in 91 requests

    7.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 7.8 MB in 91 requests on a phone: images 6.6 MB (68), scripts 973 KiB (7) and stylesheets 99 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.22 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.22 g of CO₂e: 266.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8163
  • Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)

    Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 18 images without alt text

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

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

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

  • 2 tap targets too small

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 6 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 9 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 6 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9285
  • Title is short (11 characters)

    Your title is only 11 characters: “STUDIOCANAL”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 10 H1 headlines

    There are 10 <h1> headlines (“”, “” and “INK”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 165 internal links, 33 external

    The homepage links to 165 pages on studiocanal.com and 33 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 136 characters

    Your meta description is 136 characters: “Discover our upcoming films, television series, restorations, franchises, and our entire library boasting 6000 titles f…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.studiocanal.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.studiocanal.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix53
  • robots.txt blocks 2 AI answer engine crawlers

    2 of 6

    Your robots.txt shuts out ChatGPT (ChatGPT-User) and Perplexity (PerplexityBot). These fetch pages to answer people's questions and cite the source, so your site can't be quoted or linked in those answers.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.studiocanal.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 4 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-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.

1 checks passed
  • Organization data: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

Other pages

3 to fix71
  • 15 pages without a title

    https://www.studiocanal.com/movies, https://www.studiocanal.com/tv-series, https://www.studiocanal.com/news, https://www.studiocanal.com/about-studiocanal, https://www.studiocanal.com/company-history and https://www.studiocanal.com/management and 9 others have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 15 pages without a meta description

    https://www.studiocanal.com/movies, https://www.studiocanal.com/tv-series, https://www.studiocanal.com/news, https://www.studiocanal.com/about-studiocanal, https://www.studiocanal.com/company-history and https://www.studiocanal.com/management and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://www.studiocanal.com/movies, https://www.studiocanal.com/tv-series, https://www.studiocanal.com/news, https://www.studiocanal.com/about-studiocanal, https://www.studiocanal.com/company-history and https://www.studiocanal.com/management and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 138 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7396
  • 4 third-party cookies

    4 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”).

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

5 to fix50
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • A 8-field form

    Your longest form asks for 8 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • 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 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 643 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 643 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact Us”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.

  • 1 other company contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 1 host 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 studiocanal.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
