Speed

9 to fix46
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.3 s · 704 KiB

    About 704 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 46

    46/100

    Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 54). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (zotabox.com, Cloudflare CDN and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    750 ms · 145 KiB

    10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (145 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    400 ms · 73 KiB

    6 images could be 73 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • zotabox.com adds 401 ms

    401 ms

    zotabox.com costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 654 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.

  • 10 long tasks on the main thread

    10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 413 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 2.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 19 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    98 KiB

    About 98 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    10 KiB

    10 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 5 ms

    5 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 5 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix48
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.5 s

    14.5 s

    Your largest element takes 14.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “ErgoCentric tCentric Multi-Tilt Series Hybrid Mesh Back, Fo…”.

  • Time to Interactive: 16.5 s

    16.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 16.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.9 s

    3.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.4 s

    6.4 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 403 ms

    403 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 403 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.145

    0.145

    The layout shifts by 0.145 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB in 177 requests

    2.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 177 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (66), other files 722 KiB (84) and images 263 KiB (16). 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: 87.3 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

5 to fixGoogle 8893
  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 23 text elements with low contrast

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (6 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 10 links without text

    10 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 2 form fields without a label

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 11 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 10076
  • Title is long (69 characters)

    Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Ergonomic Office Chairs, Electric Height Adjustable Desks | ErgoEquip”.

  • 5 H1 headlines

    There are 5 <h1> headlines (“ErgoEquip”, “Reviews” and “Newsletter”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (314 characters)

    Your meta description is 314 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 4 problems

    Structured data found (untyped) but with 4 problems, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Bad control character in string literal in JSON at position )”.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 78 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 78 pages on abilityatwork.com and 6 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ergoequip.ca/.

  • robots.txt in place

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

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://ergoequip.ca/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (713 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /collections/ergocentric, /collections/medical-seating and /collections/ergonomic-mice have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to apply style from 'https://ergoequip.ca/cdn/shop/t/16/assets/fonts.scss.css?v=3535' because its MIME type ('t…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    20 of 23 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix93
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example http://empy.re/r/shopify (404).

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://ergoequip.ca/checkout.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

6 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (ergoequip.ca).

  • Valid certificate (61 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for abilityatwork.com and is valid for another 61 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://abilityatwork.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

Domain and trust

1 to fix
  • Domain expires in 68 days

    ergoequip.ca is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

  • No CAA record

    ergoequip.ca has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    ergoequip.ca's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

1 checks passed
  • Domain is 11 years old

    11 years

    ergoequip.ca was registered in Dec 2014 through Tucows.com Co.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

Content and conversion

1 to fix80
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Phone number is not tap-to-call

    Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.

  • 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 607 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 607 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact Us”.

  • 6 short forms

    6 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

Email authentication

2 to fix35
  • No DMARC policy

    abilityatwork.com has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 35/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

1 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.

  • 25 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 25 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company

  • It loads jQuery 3.1.1, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
