Speed

10 to fix59
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    14 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Main-thread work: 4.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.1 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 (ContentSquare, gotolstoy.com and seel.com and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    600 ms · 437 KiB

    About 437 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • ContentSquare adds 658 ms

    658 ms

    ContentSquare costs a phone 658 ms of main-thread work and 185 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 523 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (523 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 346 KiB

    15 images could be 346 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1,608 HTML elements

    The page has 1,608 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Shopify adds 63 ms

    63 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 63 ms of main-thread work and 888 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 · 32 KiB

    About 32 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.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 167 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    41 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 41 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    9 KiB

    9 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.

  • Minify CSS

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 9.6 s

    9.6 s

    Your largest element takes 9.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

    The page becomes fully interactive after 14.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.0 s

    6.0 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 311 ms

    311 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 311 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 16 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 15% slower for real visitors

    +15%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 119 ms to 138 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

3 to fix45
  • Page weight: 6.9 MB in 291 requests

    6.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 6.9 MB in 291 requests on a phone: media 2.6 MB (2), images 1.8 MB (39) and scripts 1.4 MB (97). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    sofas-kenna-modular-4-piece-sofa-chaise-sectional-131-282943 weighs 556 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 5 images in older formats

    5 images (819 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.

  • About 2.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.97 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.97 g of CO₂e: 236.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

7 to fixGoogle 8990
  • 4 tap targets too small

    4 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 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.

  • 39 images without alt text

    39 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.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • 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 (h1 → h3), 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).

1 checks passed
  • 49 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9283
  • Title is short (15 characters)

    Your title is only 15 characters: “CHITA LIVING CA”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is short (15 characters)

    Your meta description is only 15 characters: “CHITA LIVING CA”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 142 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 142 pages on chitaliving.ca and 15 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

AI search readiness

100
4 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 (930 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://chitaliving.ca/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 6 pages without an H1

    https://chitaliving.ca/collections/tiered-savings-all-sale-page, https://chitaliving.ca/products/charlotte-modern-counter-stool, https://chitaliving.ca/products/tanya-modern-chenille-swivel-counter-stool-set-of-2, https://chitaliving.ca/products/swivel-bar-counter-stools-with-back, https://chitaliving.ca/products/janice-power-swivel-nursery-glider-recliner-with-power-headrest and https://chitaliving.ca/collections/modular-sofas have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 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.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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, 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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 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 chitaliving.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
