Speed

5 to fix77
  • Mobile performance score: 77

    77/100

    Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 603 KiB

    About 603 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 334 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,710 HTML elements

    The page has 1,710 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • ctfassets.net adds 0 ms

    0 ms

    ctfassets.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 299 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.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, Google Tag Manager and ctfassets.net), adding 650 KiB and 177 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    69 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (69 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    67 KiB

    4 images could be 67 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    45 KiB

    About 45 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    33 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 33 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 848 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 3.7 s

    3.7 s

    Your largest element takes 3.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “GTAVI T2HomepageHero Beach Deliv”.

  • Total Blocking Time: 483 ms

    483 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 483 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.6 s

    1.6 s

  • Real-user INP: 100 ms

  • Speed Index: 2.9 s

    2.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.9 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.016

    0.016

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.016, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix97
  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    W26-STD-ANNOUNCE-RETAIL_DIGITAL_BANNERS-D2C-STATIC-ENUS-NO_R is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.45 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.45 g of CO₂e: 54.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.6 MB in 57 requests

    1.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 57 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (20), images 326 KiB (26) and fonts 118 KiB (2). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 10099
  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 63 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9298
  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 63 internal links, 36 external

    The homepage links to 63 pages on take2games.com and 36 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 123 characters

    Your meta description is 123 characters: “Take-Two Interactive Software is a leading game publisher, creating games through its labels, Rockstar Games, 2K, and Z…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Grand Theft Auto VI”.

  • Title: 60 characters

    Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Leading Game Publisher | Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is http://www.take2games.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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 http://www.take2games.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.take2games.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 (1,074 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

4 to fix81
  • 2 linked pages hidden from search

    https://www.take2games.com/inclusion-statement and https://www.take2games.com/cctv are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://www.take2games.com/inclusion-statement and https://www.take2games.com/cctv have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 12 pages share a meta description

    https://www.take2games.com/ir, https://www.take2games.com/ir/corporate-governance-highlights, https://www.take2games.com/ir/news/take-two-interactive-software-inc-report-second-quarter-fiscal-8, https://www.take2games.com/ir/news/words-friends-expands-its-dictionary-25000-new-words-herald-next, https://www.take2games.com/ir/news/take-two-interactive-software-inc-reports-results-fiscal-first-6 and https://www.take2games.com/ir/news/nbar-2k27-cover-athletes-revealed-victor-wembanyama-caitlin and 6 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 13 pages without an H1

    https://www.take2games.com/ir/conduct-social-responsibility-overview, https://www.take2games.com/inclusion-statement, https://www.take2games.com/ir/corporate-governance-highlights, https://www.take2games.com/ir/news/take-two-interactive-software-inc-report-second-quarter-fiscal-8, https://www.take2games.com/ir/news/words-friends-expands-its-dictionary-25000-new-words-herald-next and https://www.take2games.com/ir/news/take-two-interactive-software-inc-reports-results-fiscal-first-6 and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

Best practices

Google 100100
  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    69 of 76 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix70
  • No social proof

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

  • 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 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.

  • About 1,043 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,043 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “LEARN MORE”.

  • 7 calls to action

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 4 other companies contacted

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

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at take2games.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
