Speed

3 to fix78
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.4 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.

  • Improve image delivery

    500 ms · 713 KiB

    8 images could be 713 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 78

    78/100

    Your mobile performance score is 78. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 37 KiB

    About 37 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    90 KiB

    About 90 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, bogos.io and Adobe TypeKit and others), adding 180 KiB and 54 ms of main-thread time.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    30 KiB

    7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (30 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 405 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 9 ms

    9 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 9 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 5.0 s

    5.0 s

    Your largest element takes 5.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “POWER FX”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s

  • Real-user INP: 81 ms

    81 ms

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix85
  • Page weight: 2.9 MB in 163 requests

    2.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.9 MB in 163 requests on a phone: images 1.4 MB (27), other files 915 KiB (78) and scripts 391 KiB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (46 KiB) is 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.

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.81 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.81 g of CO₂e: 97.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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 to fixGoogle 9598
  • Zoom is disabled

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 57 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 47 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

6 to fixGoogle 9275
  • Title is short (12 characters)

    Your title is only 12 characters: “JOOLA CANADA”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • Meta description is long (317 characters)

    Your meta description is 317 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 2 problems

    Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 2 problems, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://joola.ca/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 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.

  • 130 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 130 pages on joola.ca and 6 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “JOOLA CANADA”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://joola.ca/.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://joola.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.

3 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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (646 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 9 pages without a meta description

    https://joola.ca/collections/pickleball-paddles, https://joola.ca/collections/perseus, https://joola.ca/collections/hyperion, https://joola.ca/collections/scorpeus, https://joola.ca/collections/magnus-series and https://joola.ca/collections/agassi and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 66 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    11 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 11 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “heroSlider.on is not a function”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    30 of 37 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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 direct contact details

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

  • Only about 249 words

    The homepage has only about 249 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Learn more” and “Shop Now”.

  • 6 calls to action

    The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Learn more”, “Shop now” and “Learn More”.

  • 18 short forms

    18 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 14 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 14 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at joola.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
