Speed
Mobile performance score: 84
84/100Your mobile performance score is 84 (desktop: 91). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 66 KiBAbout 66 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare and Google Analytics and others), adding 203 KiB and 139 ms of main-thread time.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 89 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
53 KiB13 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (53 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
11 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 11 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
6 KiB1 image could be 6 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
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.

Images and page weight
About 0.07 g of CO₂ per visit
0.07 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.07 g of CO₂e: 8.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Page weight: 263 KiB in 21 requests
263 KiBYour homepage downloads 263 KiB in 21 requests on a phone: scripts 176 KiB (4), images 61 KiB (8) and stylesheets 14 KiB (5). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 2 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
34 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 35 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 34 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
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
41 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 41 pages on typingtest.com and 7 external pages.
8 checks passed
Meta description: 122 characters
Your meta description is 122 characters: “Take a free online typing test to check your WPM, typing speed, and accuracy. Get instant results and practice to impro…”.
One H1 headline

Structured data in place
Structured data found: FAQPage.
Open Graph tags complete

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://www.typingtest.com/sitemap.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.typingtest.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, 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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (608 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without an H1
https://www.typingtest.com/bigram-blitz and https://www.typingtest.com/blog.php have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Content and conversion
No social proof

A 10-field form

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.
