contents We compute the maximum number of rational points at which a homogeneous polynomial can vanish on a weighted projective space over a finite field, provided that the first weight is equal to one. This solves a conjecture by Aubry, Castryck, Ghorpade, Lachaud, O'Sullivan and Ram, which stated that a Serre-like bound holds with equality for weighted projective spaces when the first weight is one, and when considering polynomials whose degree is divisible by the least common multiple of the weights. We refine this conjecture by lifting the restriction on the degree and we prove it using footprint techniques, Delorme's reduction and Serre's classical bound.
