Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 347 KiBAbout 347 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
700 ms · 343 KiB48 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (343 KiB).
Mobile performance score: 62
62/100Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
750 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 89 KiBAbout 89 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 395 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 52 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 52 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
322 KiB8 images could be 322 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Main-thread work: 2.3 s
A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,590 HTML elements
The page has 1,590 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Optanon and Adobe Tag Manager and others), adding 443 KiB and 210 ms of main-thread time.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 96 requests
3.3 MBYour homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 96 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (46), scripts 856 KiB (22) and fonts 266 KiB (10). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (27 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.93 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.93 g of CO₂e: 111.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 55 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
48 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: 48 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: missing name”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
46 internal links, 25 external
The homepage links to 46 pages on allstate.ca and 25 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 117 characters
Your meta description is 117 characters: “Save up to $1,050 with Allstate Canada. Bundle your home and auto insurance for trusted coverage and great discounts!”.
Title: 59 characters
Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Auto, Property Insurance & More | Allstate Insurance Canada”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.allstate.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://www.allstate.ca/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
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.
Organization data: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (766 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/resources has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
/resources, /car-insurance and /newsroom have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
/newsroom 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.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 27 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 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.
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
47 small tap targets
47 of 61 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Minified React error #418; visit https://react.dev/errors/418?args[]=HTML&args[]= for the full message or use the non-m…”.
13 distorted images
13 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
Missing source maps
Large scripts ship without source maps.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
http:// does not redirect
http://allstate.ca does not redirect to https, so some visitors land on the insecure version.
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
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.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
4 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (allstate.ca).
Valid certificate (173 days left)
The certificate from DigiCert Inc · GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 verifies for allstate.ca and is valid for another 173 days.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 45 links work
All 45 links checked from your homepage (29 internal, 16 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
allstate.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
allstate.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.
2 checks passed
Domain is 26 years old
26 yearsallstate.ca was registered in Sep 2000 through easyDNS Technologies Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Sep 2027
allstate.ca is registered until Sep 2027.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 1,110 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,110 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “get a quote”.
8 calls to action
The homepage has 8 calls to action, for example “get a quote”, “sign up / log in” and “Contact us”.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 95/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: reject
DMARC tells receivers to reject mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:%{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.vali.email ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Meta Pixel (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
4 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
