• Page weight: 2.2 MB

  2.2 MB

  Your homepage downloads 2.2 MB on a phone, 987 KiB of it images (44%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

• An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

  homepage-banner.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).

  Elements (1)

• 7 images in older formats

  7 images (629 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.

  Elements (5)

• 1 image far larger than shown

  137 KiB

  1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example homepage-banner.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 137 KiB.

  Elements (1)

• About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

  0.62 g

  By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.62 g of CO₂e: 74.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

• 2 buttons without a name

  2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  Elements (2)

• Hidden but focusable

  4 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  Elements (3)

• 4 images without alt text

  4 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.

  Elements (3)

• 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.

  Elements (1)

• 5 links without text

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

  Elements (3)

• 1 form field without a label

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

  View source

• 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.

• Title is short (20 characters)

  Your title is only 20 characters: “Home | City of Delta”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

• 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 X (Twitter) card tag

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

• 244 internal links, 8 external

  The homepage links to 244 pages on delta.ca and 8 external pages.

• 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 https://www.delta.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.

• 15 pages without a meta description

  https://www.delta.ca/contact-us, https://www.delta.ca/community-culture/happening-delta/news, https://www.delta.ca/city-hall/careers, https://www.delta.ca/parks-recreation/sports-activities/programs-registration, https://www.delta.ca/services/property-taxes-utilities and https://www.delta.ca/services/garbage-recycling/collection-schedule and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  Elements (8)

• 15 internal pages checked

  We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 177 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

• 10 small tap targets

  10 of 37 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

• No social proof

  No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust 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 380 words of copy

  The homepage carries about 380 words of visible text.

• 3 trackers load before any consent

  3

• 5 cookies set on arrival

  5

  Opening the homepage sets 5 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.

• 8 other companies contacted

  Loading the homepage contacts 8 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
