vk.com website review

About 1,008 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.8 s faster on a phone.

95 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (490 KiB).

vk.ru costs a phone 1.1 s of main-thread work and 2.4 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

About 198 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.0 s faster on a phone.

3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

Your mobile performance score is 38. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

A phone's processor spends 4.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (vk.ru, mail.ru and apptracer.ru and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.

The page goes through 1 redirect before it starts loading, costing about 901 ms. Link and advertise the final URL directly.

12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 281 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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 visitors wait 6.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Your largest element takes 17.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Sign in to VK”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 21.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 12.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 926 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 3.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 318 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Your homepage downloads 3.1 MB in 146 requests on a phone: scripts 2.4 MB (81), stylesheets 267 KiB (17) and other files 244 KiB (36). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.87 g of CO₂e: 104.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

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

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

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

Your canonical URL points to vk.com, not m.vk.com, so Google may credit that host instead.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

No XML sitemap at https://m.vk.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

The homepage links to only 1 page on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

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.

There is no https://m.vk.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.

6 of 13 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

The page uses 2 deprecated browser APIs that will stop working in future browsers (“The `disableRemotePlayback` attribute should be used in order to disable the default Cast integrati…”).

5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED”.

We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

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

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

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage has only about 56 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Comscore (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

Opening the homepage sets 20 cookies, 3 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 13 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
