Speed

11 to fix46
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    3.9 s · 872 KiB

    About 872 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.9 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.8 s · 312 KiB

    14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (312 KiB).

  • Mobile performance score: 46

    46/100

    Your mobile performance score is 46 (desktop: 64). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 4.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Shopify and Affirm and others), adding 1.7 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    450 ms · 376 KiB

    13 images could be 376 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 477 ms

    477 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 477 ms of main-thread work and 360 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.

  • Render-blocking requests

    400 ms

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.

  • Shopify adds 280 ms

    280 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 280 ms of main-thread work and 834 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.

  • 11 long tasks on the main thread

    11 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 255 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 2,369 HTML elements

    The page has 2,369 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 47 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 47 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 46 KiB

    About 46 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.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Minify JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 17.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 452 ms

    452 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 452 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +3%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 124 ms to 129 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    Real visitors wait 1.5 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 144 ms

    144 ms

    Real visitors wait 144 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

  • Real-user FCP: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 469 ms

    469 ms

  • Largest content (LCP) got 19% faster for real visitors

    -19%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix83
  • Page weight: 3.9 MB in 346 requests

    3.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.9 MB in 346 requests on a phone: scripts 1.8 MB (129), other files 1.1 MB (160) and images 689 KiB (36). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    fabbri-consumables-mixybar-sugar-free-vanilla-pet-1l-3798189 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).

  • 3 images below the first screen load straight away

    3 images further down the page (88 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.10 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.10 g of CO₂e: 131.8 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

9 to fixGoogle 7787
  • 15 tap targets too small

    15 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Hidden but focusable

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

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (3 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 2 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Frames without titles

    1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.

  • 3 images without alt text

    3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed
  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 9 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 8588
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • 3 links with vague text

    3 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • 232 internal links, 13 external

    The homepage links to 232 pages on faema.ca and 13 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 137 characters

    Your meta description is 137 characters: “At Faema, you'll find the best espresso machines. As a top Canadian supplier, we have wide range of coffee equipment fo…”.

  • Title: 53 characters

    Your title is a healthy 53 characters: “Coffee & Espresso Machines Supplier in Canada | Faema”.

  • Canonical URL set

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://faema.ca/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,304 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

100

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 9671
  • 1 broken image

    1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=187201419&tm=gtm002&Ver=2&mid=6a6b2eb4-ab5a-4ad3-bbe1-dd5ce96ff7af&bo=1&sid=48ca9ad0ccda11f190335ba1bd031d48&vid=48caf6c0ccda11f197e06d23b66b5ebb&vids=0&msclkid=N&gtm_.

  • 50 small tap targets

    50 of 67 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to apply style from 'https://faema.ca/cdn/shop/t/112/assets/faema-density.css?v=55336' because its MIME type ('…”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (faema.ca).

  • Valid certificate (76 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for faema.ca and is valid for another 76 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

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

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://faema.ca 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 47 links work

    All 47 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 7 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    faema.ca 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

    faema.ca'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
  • Domain is 25 years old

    25 years

    faema.ca was registered in Oct 2000 through Tucows.com Co.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jul 2027

    faema.ca is registered until Jul 2027.

Content and conversion

1 to fix88
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • 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 615 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 615 words of visible text.

7 checks passed
  • 15 calls to action

    The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Last Call”, “Contact Us” and “Subscribe”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 5 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • LocalBusiness structured data

    Your homepage describes the business with LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants can read its address, hours and phone reliably.

Email authentication

1 to fix70
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be faema.ca is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 +mx +a +ip4:199.167.131.15 +ip4:199.167.131.27 +include:spf-a.entirelydigital.com +include:mailgun.org +include:…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “default”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Ads and 1 more (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.

  • 20 cookies set on arrival

    20

    Opening the homepage sets 20 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.

  • 36 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 36 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Upkeep, stack and company
