Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Improve image delivery
3.9 s · 2.0 MB10 images could be 2.0 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.0 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.0 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 447 KiBAbout 447 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
4,087 HTML elements
The page has 4,087 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 53). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 537 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
450 ms · 56 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 56 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 84 KiBAbout 84 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.8 s
A phone's processor spends 2.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
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.
1 third-party service on the page
1 third-party service load with your homepage (gotinder.com), adding 25 KiB and 0 ms of main-thread time.

Server response: 31 ms
31 msYour server sent the HTML in 31 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.1 MB in 72 requests
4.1 MBYour homepage downloads 4.1 MB in 72 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (15), scripts 1.0 MB (38) and fonts 480 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images far larger than shown
312 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 656acdfe52796afe429cb6b3f694aad1.webp at 1,024 px wide, shown at 270 px. Resized copies would save about 312 KiB.
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: 138.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 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.
Accessibility
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
<svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text (1 element)
<svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 checks passed
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Only 0 internal links
The homepage links to only 0 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 120 characters
Your meta description is 120 characters: “With 55 billion matches to date, Tinder® is the world’s most popular dating app, making it the place to meet new people.”.
Title: 47 characters
Your title is a healthy 47 characters: “Tinder | Dating, Make Friends & Meet New People”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://tinder.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebApplication.
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 https://tinder.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Most text only appears after JavaScript runs
0%A phone browser shows 762 words, but the HTML your server sends has only 0. GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot read that HTML without running JavaScript, so they see an almost empty page. Server-side rendering or pre-rendering fixes it.
No llms.txt
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.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'addEventListener')”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
10 of 10 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
No calls to action
We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 762 words of copy
The homepage carries about 762 words of visible text.
Privacy and tracking
4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (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 tinder.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
