Render-blocking requests
4.2 s11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.2 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.8 s · 654 KiBAbout 654 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.1 s · 586 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (586 KiB).
Improve image delivery
550 ms · 2.1 MB12 images could be 2.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 550 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (reddit, Adobe Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 1.2 MB and 927 ms of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 269 KiBAbout 269 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
300 ms · 39 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 2.9 s
A phone's processor spends 2.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.7 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
reddit adds 278 ms
278 msreddit costs a phone 278 ms of main-thread work and 27 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.
2,005 HTML elements
The page has 2,005 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Document request latency
151 KiBThe HTML itself could arrive sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 148 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
79 KiB79 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
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Server response: 501 ms

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.
Largest Contentful Paint: 20.0 s
20.0 sYour largest element takes 20.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Western Union logo.”.
Time to Interactive: 30.5 s
30.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 30.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 6.8 s
6.8 sThe first text or image appears after 6.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Speed Index: 11.7 s
11.7 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Tap response (INP) got 24% slower for real visitors
+24%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 125 ms to 153 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.2 s
2.2 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 865 ms
865 msReal visitors wait 865 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
Total Blocking Time: 215 ms
215 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 215 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
6 images without width and height
6 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.006
0.006The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.006, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.5 MB in 134 requests
6.5 MBYour homepage downloads 6.5 MB in 134 requests on a phone: images 4.2 MB (55), scripts 1.6 MB (33) and stylesheets 264 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images over 500 KB
3 images weigh 2.6 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
13 images in older formats
13 images (3.7 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
10 images below the first screen load straight away
10 images further down the page (2.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
38834-personal-hero-mobile.png 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 far larger than shown
229 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example CCMOPC-38790-image-2-desktop.png at 1,200 px wide, shown at 358 px. Resized copies would save about 229 KiB.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.85 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.85 g of CO₂e: 221.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
128 links without text
128 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 34 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
33 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 34 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 33 passed and 1 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Make life easier with our mobile app” and “Make tracking your packages easier with our mobil…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
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.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
24 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 24 pages on innovapost.com and 7 external pages.

Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Mailing and shipping for Personal and Business | Canada Post”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/home.page.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/doc/en/sitemap/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 https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/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 (512 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page hidden from search
https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/our-company/news-and-media/corporate-news/closures-and-service-interruptions-list.page is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.
3 pages without a meta description
https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/track-reperage/en, https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/tools/find-a-rate.page and https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/tools/find-a-post-office.page have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages without an H1
https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/track-reperage/en, https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/tools/find-a-rate.page and https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/tools/find-a-post-office.page have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond

Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
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 698 words of copy
The homepage carries about 698 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Buy stamps and packaging” and “Schedule a home pickup”.
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Sign up for free”, “Learn more” and “Shop now”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Comscore, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
23 cookies set on arrival
23Opening the homepage sets 23 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
25 other companies contacted
