Speed

6 to fix79
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    920 ms · 363 KiB

    About 363 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 920 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 79

    79/100

    Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Minify JavaScript

    300 ms · 40 KiB

    40 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    323 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (323 KiB).

  • onebark.org adds 111 ms

    111 ms

    onebark.org costs a phone 111 ms of main-thread work and 311 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (onebark.org, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 978 KiB and 347 ms of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 39 KiB

    2 images could be 39 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 31 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 KiB

    About 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 819 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -6%

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

Images and page weight

2 to fix83
  • Page weight: 2.1 MB in 125 requests

    2.1 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 125 requests on a phone: scripts 851 KiB (37), other files 777 KiB (57) and images 305 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    home_ingredients_us_mobile.png 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).

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (26 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.58 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.58 g of CO₂e: 69.8 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

4 to fixGoogle 8994
  • 6 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail 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.

1 checks passed
  • 48 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: 48 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 8576
  • No meta description

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

  • Title is short (10 characters)

    Your title is only 10 characters: “COOKIE PAL”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 36 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 36 pages on cookiepal.ca and 7 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://cookiepal.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • Open Graph tags complete

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

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

4 to fix68
  • 1 page without a title

    https://cookiepal.com/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

  • 15 pages without a meta description

  • 13 pages without an H1

    https://cookiepal.com/collections/all, https://cookiepal.com/collections/made-better-by-cookie-pal, https://cookiepal.com/collections/biscuits, https://cookiepal.com/collections/soft-baked-bites, https://cookiepal.com/collections/sandwich-cookies and https://cookiepal.com/collections/holiday-treats and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • 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 811 words of copy

    Social proof on the homepage: 109 testimonial or review blocks, a star rating and 2 trust badges.

  • Analytics in place

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

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

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 13 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 13 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 cookiepal.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
