worldatlas.com website review

About 188 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 63 (desktop: 100). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

16 images could be 546 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

The page has 2,012 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, consentmanager.net and Mediavine and others), adding 657 KiB and 440 ms of main-thread time.

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 105 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (83 KiB).

About 12 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

Desktop scores 100 but mobile only 63. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 9.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “The Rocky Mountains in Jasper National Park, Alberta”.

The first text or image appears after 3.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Your homepage downloads 2.3 MB in 88 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (46), scripts 648 KiB (25) and HTML 76 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

12 images further down the page (835 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example it-01.jpg at 649 px wide, shown at 170 px. Resized copies would save about 237 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.66 g of CO₂e: 78.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Links must have discernible text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your title is 97 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “World Map / World Atlas / Atlas of the World Including Geography Facts and Flags - WorldA…”.

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

7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

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

The homepage links to 262 pages on worldatlas.com and 34 external pages.

There is no https://www.worldatlas.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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 144 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

11 of 35 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

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

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

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

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

The homepage carries about 704 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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 4 cookies (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 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
