Speed

4 to fix75
  • Improve image delivery

    3.1 s · 1.3 MB

    7 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 75

    75/100

    Your mobile performance score is 75. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    750 ms · 154 KiB

    About 154 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and seshclub.ca), adding 251 KiB and 86 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 72 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    8 KiB

    1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (8 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 0.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 161 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.2 s

    8.2 s

    Your largest element takes 8.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “24 Greatest Hits | Choklit Park”.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.3 s

    8.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 49% slower for real visitors

    +49%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 79 ms to 76 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

4 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Speed Index: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 2.2 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.023

    0.023

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.023, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 22 ms

    22 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 22 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

4 to fix64
  • 1 image over 500 KB

    greatest-hits-calendar.png weighs 775 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    greatest-hits-calendar.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 in older formats

    3 images (972 KiB) 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.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    90 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example coast-mtn-calendar.jpg at 1,388 px wide, shown at 292 px. Resized copies would save about 90 KiB.

  • 2 images below the first screen load straight away

    2 images further down the page (110 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.55 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.55 g of CO₂e: 66.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.9 MB in 24 requests

    1.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 24 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (9), scripts 349 KiB (7) and fonts 72 KiB (2). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

1 to fixGoogle 9698
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 9 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 43 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10092
  • Canonical points to another host

    Your canonical URL points to kiaro.cmto.ai, not kiaro.com, so Google may credit that host instead.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: url points at a different host (https://kiaro.cmto.ai/)”.

  • 27 internal links, 15 external

    The homepage links to 27 pages on kiaro.com and 15 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 125 characters

    Your meta description is 125 characters: “Shop Kiaro cannabis in East Vancouver, Port Moody, Victoria and Revelstoke, with local delivery from Port Moody and Vic…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Kiaro Cannabis — BC dispensaries, in-store pickup and local delivery”.

  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Shop Kiaro Cannabis Stores in BC | Menus, Pickup & Delivery”.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • 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://kiaro.cmto.ai/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://kiaro.com/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 (601 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 9 internal pages checked

    We fetched 9 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 9 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

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

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 9 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • 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 9 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 10093
  • 2 small tap targets

    2 of 9 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix64
  • 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.

  • 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: 2 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 form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 556 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 556 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

3 checks passed
  • 5 calls to action

    The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Shop Kiaro ↗”, “Shop a live menu” and “Join Sesh Club free”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 4 phone links and 0 email links.

  • 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 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.

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 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.

  • 4 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 4 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 kiaro.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
