affinitydesign.ca website review

Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

About 205 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 386 ms of main-thread work and 198 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.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 389 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

The page has 2,068 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare and Google/Doubleclick Ads and others), adding 222 KiB and 419 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

About 14 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

1 image could be 50 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

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

Visually, the page fills in at 5.6 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 443 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

The page becomes fully interactive after 5.1 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.49 g of CO₂e: 59.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Headings skip levels (h2 → h6 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Structured data found (AdministrativeArea, City, ContactPoint and Country) but with 8 problems, for example “Service: no offers (price) block”.

The homepage links to 91 pages on affinitydesign.ca and 22 external pages.

/book-meeting has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 36 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

1 link from your homepage to your own site is broken, for example https://affinitydesign.ca/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection (404).

3 links to other sites are dead, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulysun/ (999).

No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.

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

affinitydesign.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.

affinitydesign.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.

There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

The homepage carries about 2,439 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be affinitydesign.ca is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

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.

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