Speed

12 to fix19
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    7.7 s · 3.1 MB

    57 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.1 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.9 s · 1.2 MB

    About 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.8 s · 1.4 MB

    17 images could be 1.4 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 1.7 s

    1.7 s

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 1.7 s of main-thread work and 1.3 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Mobile performance score: 19

    19/100

    Your mobile performance score is 19. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.6 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 (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Google CDN and others), adding 2.3 MB and 2.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    900 ms · 68 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 68 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 507 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Facebook adds 394 ms

    394 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 394 ms of main-thread work and 366 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 184 ms

    184 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 184 ms of main-thread work and 385 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.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 66 KiB

    About 66 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    15 KiB

    15 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: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

12 to fix33
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user LCP: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Real visitors wait 4.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 29.1 s

    29.1 s

    Your largest element takes 29.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Mainpro+® live webinars Your everyday professional activiti…”.

  • Speed Index: 16.0 s

    16.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 16.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 29.6 s

    29.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 29.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.8 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 3.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.25

    0.25

    The layout shifts by 0.25 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.19

    0.19

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.19 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.6 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • 10 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 124 ms to 122 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.4 s to 3.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 128 ms

    128 ms

    Real visitors wait 128 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

3 to fix53
  • Page weight: 5.6 MB in 155 requests

    5.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 155 requests on a phone: images 2.8 MB (50), scripts 2.6 MB (42) and stylesheets 80 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images in older formats

    7 images (642 KiB) are 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.

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (503 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.58 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.58 g of CO₂e: 189.8 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

4 to fixGoogle 10094
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 28 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 7768
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • No H1 headline

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

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.cfpc.ca/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 2 links crawlers can't follow

    2 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 202 internal links, 29 external

    The homepage links to 202 pages on cfpc.ca and 29 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Title: 49 characters

    Your title is a healthy 49 characters: “Home | The College of Family Physicians of Canada”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.cfpc.ca/en/home.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

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.

  • 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.

2 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 (1,196 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 3 pages without a meta description

    /fr/home, /en/about-us/leadership-corner and /en/forward have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 14 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 14 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /en/Contact-Us, whose canonical is /en/contact-us. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 1 page without an H1

    /fr/home has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 1 page slow to respond

    /en/About-Us/Board-of-Directors took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 103 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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
  • 10 small tap targets

    10 of 17 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are 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 find a valid digest in the 'integrity' attribute for resource 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Frank+…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

2 to fix86
  • 1 broken external link

    1 link to other sites is dead, for example https://bsky.app/profile/cfpc-cmfc.bsky.social (404).

  • No Content-Security-Policy

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

  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 0 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 2 redirects before the homepage

    Opening https://cfpc.ca goes through 2 redirects before the homepage loads.

  • 1 link through redirect chains

    1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://cfpc.my.site.com/s/login.

  • 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.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

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

  • Valid certificate (182 days left)

    The certificate from GoDaddy.com · GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1 verifies for cfpc.ca and is valid for another 182 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://cfpc.ca 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

  • No CAA record

    cfpc.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

    cfpc.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 years

    cfpc.ca was registered in Oct 2000 through Internic.ca Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2027

    cfpc.ca is registered until May 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • 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.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 form on the homepage

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

  • 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 407 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 407 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Learn more.” and “Register today.”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

Email authentication

90
  • Email authentication score: 90/100

    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: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:_spf.psm.knowbe4.com include:_spf.salesforce.com include:sendgrid.net…”.

  • 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 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 1 more (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 35 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 35 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 1.12.0, older than 3.5 (which fixed known security holes).
