Why does WebGL matter for gaming?

Most web games render with WebGL. If hardware acceleration is off, browsers fall back to software renderers (slow) or disable WebGL entirely.

My FPS is low—what should I change first?

Close background tabs, switch to a performance power mode, and disable heavy extensions. Then update GPU drivers and re-run the WebGL test.

Do I need cookies for web games?

Many games use cookies or storage APIs for logins and saves. If storage is blocked, progress and sessions can fail to persist.

What we check for gaming

Web games rely on GPU-accelerated rendering (WebGL), responsive main-thread performance (JavaScript speed), and reliable storage (cookies/IndexedDB) for saves and settings. This page summarizes those signals and points you to the exact tests that explain a failure.
