Speed
Improve image delivery
24.1 s · 8.2 MB38 images could be 8.2 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 24.1 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
4.3 s · 2.7 MB57 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (2.7 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 1.3 MBAbout 1.3 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.1 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 35
35/100Your mobile performance score is 35 (desktop: 40). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 6.6 s
A phone's processor spends 6.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Optanon and AB Tasty and others), adding 7.2 MB and 615 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
620 ms · 271 KiBAbout 271 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 620 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 870 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
ubi.com adds 0 ms
0 msubi.com costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 6.2 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 371 ms
371 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 371 ms of main-thread work and 303 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.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
57 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 57 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 12.5 MB in 138 requests
12.5 MBYour homepage downloads 12.5 MB in 138 requests on a phone: images 8.7 MB (41), scripts 2.8 MB (50) and other files 350 KiB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
4 images far larger than shown
691 KiB4 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 6638e5dcaa201a2d55bcc772-h2.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 322 px. Resized copies would save about 691 KiB.
5 images in older formats
5 images (779 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
About 3.5 g of CO₂ per visit
3.55 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.55 g of CO₂e: 425.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
Links must have discernible text (2 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)
Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 29 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 2 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is long (208 characters)
Your meta description is 208 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
6 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 6 pages on ubisoft.com and 0 external pages.
6 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Ubisoft | Welcome to the official Ubisoft website”.
Title: 49 characters
Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Ubisoft | Welcome to the official Ubisoft website”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/.
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://www.ubisoft.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 /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 (469 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without an H1
/en-us/ubisoft-connect has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/en-us/games/free has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
6 internal pages checked
We fetched 6 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed

Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Uncaught TypeError: You provided 'undefined' where a stream was expected. You can provide an Observable, Promise, Array…”.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
30 of 33 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
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 585 words of copy
The homepage carries about 585 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop now” and “Pre-order”.
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Shop now” and “Pre-order”.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
9 cookies set on arrival
9Opening the homepage sets 9 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
12 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 12 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.
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 ubisoft.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
