Speed

12 to fix42
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 752 KiB

    About 752 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 426 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (426 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Google Tag Manager and Google CDN and others), adding 32.0 MB and 1.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Shopify adds 59 ms

    59 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 59 ms of main-thread work and 30.4 MB 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.

  • 15 long tasks on the main thread

    15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 374 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 73 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 73 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Facebook adds 288 ms

    288 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 288 ms of main-thread work and 275 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.

  • Google CDN adds 205 ms

    205 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 205 ms of main-thread work and 298 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.

  • okendo.io adds 158 ms

    158 ms

    okendo.io costs a phone 158 ms of main-thread work and 342 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 151 ms

    151 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 151 ms of main-thread work and 307 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    38 KiB

    About 38 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Improve image delivery

    33 KiB

    2 images could be 33 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix46
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.8 s

    14.8 s

    Your largest element takes 14.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Time to Interactive: 17.4 s

    17.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 17.4 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: 7.8 s

    7.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 756 ms

    756 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 756 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.031

    0.031

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.031, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 41.5 MB in 277 requests

    41.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 41.5 MB in 277 requests on a phone: images 30.7 MB (56), media 7.8 MB (2) and scripts 1.8 MB (81). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (73 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (73 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 11.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    11.77 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 11.77 g of CO₂e: 1412.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8692
  • 18 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

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

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (3 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 6 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • Title is short (26 characters)

    Your title is only 26 characters: “ArtResin – ArtResin Canada”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 44 internal links, 48 external

    The homepage links to 44 pages on artresin.ca and 48 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “Painting, photograph, wood or puzzle, ArtResin is formulated by artists who understand what you want: safe and easy app…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “The Original. Trusted by Artists.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.artresin.ca/.

  • Structured data in place

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.artresin.ca/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: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (511 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 2 pages without a meta description

    https://www.artresin.ca/collections/artresin-epoxy-resin and https://www.artresin.ca/collections/accessories have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 12 internal pages checked

    We fetched 12 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed

Content and conversion

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo 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.

  • 19 cookies set on arrival

    19

    Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.

  • 31 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 31 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at artresin.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
