everlastingcandleco.ca website review

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and loox.io and others), adding 1.1 MB and 424 ms of main-thread time.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

About 428 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 872 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Shopify costs a phone 203 ms of main-thread work and 543 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.

The page has 1,928 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Klaviyo costs a phone 85 ms of main-thread work and 308 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.

9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (241 KiB).

About 45 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.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 138 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 46 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

The page becomes fully interactive after 12.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 ms to 196 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your largest element takes 3.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 247 requests on a phone: scripts 1.3 MB (71), other files 933 KiB (154) and fonts 178 KiB (5). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 88.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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.

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

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

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“A luxurious and reusable steel candle that never …” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 182 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 84 pages on everlastingcandleco.ca and 1 external page.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

https://www.everlastingcandleco.ca/collections/all-wholesale-products is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 17 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

Social proof on the homepage: a star rating. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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

The homepage carries about 276 words of visible text.

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

Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 28 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
