Speed
Mobile performance score: 82
82/100Your mobile performance score is 82. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
450 ms · 22 KiB5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (22 KiB).
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 21 KiB1 image could be 21 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.
Minify JavaScript
140 ms · 4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (Yotpo, Shopify and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 257 KiB and 71 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.3 MB in 178 requests
4.3 MBYour homepage downloads 4.3 MB in 178 requests on a phone: media 3.0 MB (1), other files 703 KiB (84) and scripts 251 KiB (41). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (49 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.22 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.22 g of CO₂e: 145.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Title is long (74 characters)
Your title is 74 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Car Seats, Strollers, & Baby Essentials | Evenflo® Canada – Evenflo Canada”.
2 H1 headlines

Valid certificate (53 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for evenflo.ca and is valid for another 53 days.

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

3 checks passed

23 yearsevenflo.ca was registered in Mar 2003 through CENTRALNIC CANADA INC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Certificate issuers are restricted
CAA records allow only pki.goog, ssl.com, digicert.com and globalsign.com to issue certificates for evenflo.ca, so a mis-issued certificate from anyone else is refused.
Registered until Mar 2028
evenflo.ca is registered until Mar 2028.
Content and conversion
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 analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
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 328 words of copy
The homepage carries about 328 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “LEARN MORE”.
13 calls to action
The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop All” and “Contact Us”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.
Email authentication
No DMARC policy
evenflo.ca has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.
No SPF record
evenflo.ca has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Domain receives no email
evenflo.ca has no MX record, so it receives no email. SPF -all and DMARC reject still matter: they stop others sending mail as you.
Email authentication score: 0/100
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.
