Speed

12 to fix44
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.9 s · 779 KiB

    About 779 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.5 s · 724 KiB

    70 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (724 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 44

    44/100

    Your mobile performance score is 44 (desktop: 68). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (pub.network, Google/Doubleclick Ads and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.3 MB and 882 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 23 KiB

    About 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Minify JavaScript

    300 ms · 15 KiB

    15 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • pub.network adds 212 ms

    212 ms

    pub.network costs a phone 212 ms of main-thread work and 466 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.

  • 14 long tasks on the main thread

    14 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 250 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 1,922 HTML elements

    The page has 1,922 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Google/Doubleclick Ads adds 147 ms

    147 ms

    Google/Doubleclick Ads costs a phone 147 ms of main-thread work and 316 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    58 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 58 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

  • Speed Index: 8.7 s

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB in 499 requests

    2.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 499 requests on a phone: scripts 2.0 MB (102), other files 218 KiB (219) and HTML 208 KiB (53). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.73 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 88.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 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.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8289
  • 2 buttons without a name

    2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (65 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 65 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 41 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 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: 45 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 10097
  • No social preview image

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

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

  • 196 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 196 pages on word.tips and 13 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 152 characters

    Your meta description is 152 characters: “WordTips Word Finder finds every word you can make from your letters for Scrabble, Words with Friends, and Wordle. Ente…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Word Finder”.

  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Word Finder: Find & make words with these letters”.

  • Canonical URL set

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, MobileApplication, Organization and WebPage.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

  • XML sitemap found

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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: 5 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles) and contact details; description would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (2,669 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without an H1

    /games/mini-crossword has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 113 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 7397
  • 54 third-party cookies

    54 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    116 of 116 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix69
  • No social proof

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

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 2,452 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 2,452 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Words Start With”.

  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Words Start With”, “Words that start with” and “Contact Us”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (5 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 7 trackers load before any consent

    7

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager and 2 mores (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.

  • 13 cookies set on arrival

    13

    Opening the homepage sets 13 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.

  • 52 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 52 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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 word.tips, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
