Speed

2 to fix62
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    28 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    200 ms · 64 KiB

    57 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (64 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 50 KiB

    About 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    150 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 150 ms).

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 53 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (AddToAny, goaffpro.com and Google Fonts and others), adding 59 KiB and 25 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    20 KiB

    About 20 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 176 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 49 ms

    49 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 49 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix56
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    Your largest element takes 5.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Wayback Games is coming soon”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.253

    0.253

    The layout shifts by 0.253 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 5.6 s

    5.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 5.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 3 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.19 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.19 g of CO₂e: 22.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 688 KiB in 65 requests

    688 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 688 KiB in 65 requests on a phone: fonts 320 KiB (1), scripts 221 KiB (35) and stylesheets 101 KiB (24). That is a lean page.

  • 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.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9697
  • 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.

  • 3 links without text

    3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 1 image in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 35 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 37 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9278
  • No meta description

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

  • Title is short (20 characters)

    Your title is only 20 characters: “Home - Wayback Games”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • Only 3 internal links

    The homepage links to only 3 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Wayback Games is coming soon”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://waybackgames.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.

  • 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://waybackgames.com/sitemap_index.xml.

AI search readiness

100
3 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.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (10 KiB, 37 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 2 small tap targets

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

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “elementorFrontendConfig is not defined”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • No HSTS header

    No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.

  • No clickjacking protection

    Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

  • No X-Content-Type-Options

    X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (waybackgames.com).

  • Valid certificate (31 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for waybackgames.com and is valid for another 31 days.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://waybackgames.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 6 links work

    All 6 links checked from your homepage (2 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 78 days

    waybackgames.com is registered until Jan 2027. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    waybackgames.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    waybackgames.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 9 years old

    9 years

    waybackgames.com was registered in Jan 2017 through NameSilo, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

6 to fix25
  • 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.

  • Only about 19 words

    The homepage has only about 19 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be waybackgames.com is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 60/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.mail.hostinger.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts 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).
