Hi Hunter,
I’ve spent some time review your site. While on first inspection the site looks clean and well presented, there are some major issues which are going to affect your rankings right now. Hence I’ve added a detailed report below.
Ran you site through WebPageTest (which I used a server in London, figured this was a 1/2 way point between your site audience). 1’st load time of 30.03sec, 2’nd load time 10.34sec. That’s way too slow. Sites really need to load (in full) within 9.00sec tops. The faster the better.

You need to be mindful that not all people have a fast internet connection. In addition, the Google alog tests for page speed and as it stand having a 1’st (complete) load time of 30 sec, your site is too slow.
Your site is bogged down with way too many images. Here’s your logo and casino screen caps home page Kb sizes. I’ve included total Meg size:
- Header – 102Kb
- BetSafe – 97Kb
- Platinum Play – 97.1Kb
- CasinoTitan – 91.9Kb
- Vera and John – 107Kb
- Lucky Club – 97.3Kb
- Winner Casino – 110Kb
- Virgin Games – 110Kb
- 21 Dukes – 126Kb
- Celtic Casino – 92.6Kb
- Liberty Slots – 88Kb
Just these are close enough to a total 1Meg of images. I haven’t bother calculating the rest.
You could try combating this using a CDN to deliver your images and scripts. As your using WordPress I’d also try these two plugin:
- WP Minify WordPress › WP Minify
- Super Cache WordPress › WP Super Cache
However I’d be inclined to reduce the number of images and optimize all page images as much as possible. That is, reduce their size as much as possible. Do away with the mini banners under your header logo for starters.
NB – Optimized images can still look good without being pristine quality.
Header Coding
- Your title is too short
- No Description used
Use either Yoast SEO plugin or All in One SEO Pack.
Body Coding
- Can’t find any H tags (important for SEO use them but use them properly).
- title tags belong in the URL link – alt tags are for images. Don’t combine the two.
- Outgoing links add rel=nofollow to them.
Full Review Pages
Again over kill in image weights. Also, your footer is missing. Which also means your closing body and html tags are not being included. These pages end in .
I think the lay-out has a lot of potential however your shooting yourself in foot with all these images. Instead of adding the casino name to images, use a H3 tag above each mini review block. Spend as much time as you can optimizing you load times and crunching these numbers. It will pay dividends.
Cheers
