Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
7.1 s · 1.4 MBAbout 1.4 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.1 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s12 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
600 ms · 163 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (163 KiB).
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (LivePerson, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics and others), adding 1.8 MB and 456 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
460 ms · 82 KiBAbout 82 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.
LivePerson adds 164 ms
164 msLivePerson costs a phone 164 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 MB 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.
4 long tasks on the main thread
4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 142 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify CSS
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
0.95 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.95 g of CO₂e: 114.3 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.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
2 buttons without a name
2 buttons have no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical 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.
Links must have discernible text (1 element)
Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (11 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
35 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 35 passed and 9 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Flexiti 0% Interest Financing* is available at Fu…” and “Canada's Leading Online Furniture Store. Your sou…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (170 characters)
Your meta description is 170 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
3 links crawlers can't follow
3 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
364 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 364 pages on furniture.ca and 4 external pages.
6 checks passed
