Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
100 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example 80th Logo vector.jpg at 3,000 px wide, shown at 35 px. Resized copies would save about 100 KiB.
About 0.00 g of CO₂ per visit
0.00 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.00 g of CO₂e: 0.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Page weight: 3 KiB in 1 request
3 KiBYour homepage downloads 3 KiB in 1 request on a phone: HTML 3 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (2 elements)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (4 elements)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)
ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Interactive controls must not be nested (1 element)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 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.
6 form fields without a label
6 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (2 elements)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 63 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 14 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Error status code
The page answers with an error status, so search engines may drop it.
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, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
133 internal links, 26 external
The homepage links to 133 pages on essltd.com and 26 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 140 characters
Your meta description is 140 characters: “Equipment Sales & Service Limited is your go-to heavy equipment distributor. One of Canada's largest aftermarket parts …”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “SHOP BY PROVINCES”.
Title: 40 characters
Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “Home - Equipment Sales & Service Limited”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.essltd.com/.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.essltd.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (957 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
/international has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 pages without an H1
/nunavut, /northwest-territories, /new-brunswick, /nova-scotia, /newfoundland and /prince-edward-island and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 pages with very little text
/nunavut, /northwest-territories, /new-brunswick, /nova-scotia, /newfoundland and /prince-edward-island and 9 others have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.
http:// redirects to https
http://essltd.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 56 links work
All 56 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 16 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
essltd.com 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
essltd.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.
2 checks passed

Email authentication

Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
