Images and page weight

1 to fix70

  • Page weight: 4.8 MB

    4.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.8 MB on a phone, 1.4 MB of it images (29%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (54 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.36 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.36 g of CO₂e: 162.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed

  • Images 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

12 to fix87

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 55 tap targets too small

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

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (7 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Heading levels should only increase by one (1 element)

    Heading levels should only increase by one: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Banner landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one banner landmark (1 element)

  • 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.

  • 7 links without text

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (7 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (7 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

1 checks passed

  • 51 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 63 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 51 passed and 12 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fix91

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: logo is not an absolute URL ("//www.junkbrands.com/cdn/shop/files/JUNK_Brands_Logo_Wh…”.

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 298 internal links, 17 external

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.junkbrands.com/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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (958 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://www.junkbrands.com/llms.txt (2 KiB, 16 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95

  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://www.junkbrands.com/pages/locations, https://www.junkbrands.com/collections/best-selling-gear, https://www.junkbrands.com/collections/new-headbands, https://www.junkbrands.com/collections/novelty-headbands, https://www.junkbrands.com/collections/halloween-headbands and https://www.junkbrands.com/collections/best-selling-headbands and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Best practices

1 to fix93

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix81

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 trust badges. 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 opening hours

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

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 803 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 803 words of visible text.

5 checks passed

  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 19 calls to action

    The homepage has 19 calls to action, for example “Shop All Headbands”, “Shop All Styles” and “Shop By Activity”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo (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.

  • 14 cookies set on arrival

    14

    Opening the homepage sets 14 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.

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 junkbrands.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
