Speed

7 to fix57
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.4 s · 488 KiB

    About 488 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Main-thread work: 4.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 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 (rebuyengine.com, Google Tag Manager and Google CDN and others), adding 1.5 MB and 866 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 57

    57/100

    Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 2,904 HTML elements

    The page has 2,904 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • rebuyengine.com adds 172 ms

    172 ms

    rebuyengine.com costs a phone 172 ms of main-thread work and 367 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 145 ms

    145 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 145 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.

  • 9 long tasks on the main thread

    9 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 246 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 98 KiB

    16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (98 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    120 ms · 18 KiB

    About 18 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 120 ms faster on a phone.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 36 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 36 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    50 ms

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 50 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    16 KiB

    3 images could be 16 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Server response: 10 ms

    10 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 10 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 14.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% slower for real visitors

    +14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 80 ms to 94 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -8%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.4 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user TTFB: 369 ms

    369 ms

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 3.2 MB in 302 requests

    3.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB in 302 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (107), other files 780 KiB (105) and images 649 KiB (52). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    Website_1_459318c3-b3f4-4e53-823f-35b5ca3f8646.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.90 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.90 g of CO₂e: 108.4 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

11 to fixGoogle 7683
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text (18 elements)

    [role="img"] and [role="image"] elements must have alternative text: 18 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn'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.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 2 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 33 links without text

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

  • Headings should not be empty (1 element)

    Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

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

1 checks passed
  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 12 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9278
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is long (67 characters)

    Your title is 67 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “BB Branded – Authentic Sneakers & Streetwear in Canada – BB Branded”.

  • Meta description is long (165 characters)

    Your meta description is 165 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 279 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 279 pages on bbbranded.com and 13 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.bbbranded.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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.bbbranded.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

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 (1,247 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

2 to fix90
  • 13 pages without a meta description

    /collections/promo, /policies/shipping-policy, /collections/socks-minus-core, /collections/all, /collections/fall and /pages/fall-lookbook and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 4 pages without an H1

    /pages/fall-lookbook, /pages/winter-lookbook, /pages/spring-lookbook and /pages/summer-lookbook have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 117 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

3 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 8 small tap targets

    8 of 33 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

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

  • 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.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (bbbranded.com).

  • Valid certificate (59 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for bbbranded.com and is valid for another 59 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://bbbranded.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.

  • All 47 links work

    All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • DNSSEC is off

    bbbranded.com'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.

3 checks passed
  • Domain is 17 years old

    17 years

    bbbranded.com was registered in Mar 2009 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Certificate issuers are restricted

    CAA records allow only globalsign.com, letsencrypt.org, pki.goog and ssl.com to issue certificates for bbbranded.com, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.

  • Registered until Mar 2027

    bbbranded.com is registered until Mar 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix78
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • 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.

  • About 767 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 767 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Shop By Season”, “Shop By Vibe” and “Shop By Colour”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 14 testimonial or review blocks, 20 customer or partner logos, a star rating and 96 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Hotjar.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be bbbranded.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.

  • 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: 60/100

    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 include:shops.shopify.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 mores (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.

  • 25 cookies set on arrival

    25

    Opening the homepage sets 25 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.

  • 39 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 39 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
