Render-blocking requests
1.7 s37 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.7 s.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.4 s · 282 KiB19 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (282 KiB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 519 KiBAbout 519 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 60
60/100Your mobile performance score is 60. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, avada.io and Shopify and others), adding 1.1 MB and 508 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 173 KiBAbout 173 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.
Main-thread work: 2.2 s
A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 979 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 74 ms
74 msShopify costs a phone 74 ms of main-thread work and 429 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.
7 long tasks on the main thread
7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 86 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
32 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 32 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Improve image delivery
15 KiB1 image could be 15 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Minify JavaScript
12 KiB12 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
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 20.2 s
20.2 sYour largest element takes 20.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 20.7 s
20.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 20.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 7.8 s
7.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 7.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 3.4 s
3.4 sThe first text or image appears after 3.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
9 images without width and height
9 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.
2 checks passed
Total Blocking Time: 143 ms
143 msScripts block the page for only 143 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.4 MB in 239 requests
4.4 MBYour homepage downloads 4.4 MB in 239 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (28), scripts 1.1 MB (80) and other files 827 KiB (96). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images in older formats
2 images (881 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 below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (479 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit
1.26 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.26 g of CO₂e: 151.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Unlabelled dropdowns
1 dropdown has no label.
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.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
7 images without alt text
7 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (12 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 12 elements on the page fail 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.
5 form fields without a label
5 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
1 checks passed
42 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: 42 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is long (76 characters)
Your title is 76 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “amika pro - the stylist scoop on all things amika haircare | loveamikapro.ca”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
16 H1 headlines
There are 16 <h1> headlines (“the protector”, “all hair. all bodies. all welcome.” and “amika means friend tour”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
5 links with vague text
5 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.
Open Graph partly set
Open Graph is missing og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
144 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 144 pages on loveamikapro.ca and 15 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://loveamikapro.ca/.
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://loveamikapro.ca/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.
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.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (756 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://loveamikapro.ca/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
9 pages without a meta description
https://loveamikapro.ca/pages/loyalty, https://loveamikapro.ca/collections/all, https://loveamikapro.ca/pages/meet-new-amika-body-care, https://loveamikapro.ca/collections/sample-sets, https://loveamikapro.ca/collections/salon-merch and https://loveamikapro.ca/collections/sale and 3 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

13 small tap targets
13 of 29 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
1 third-party cookie
1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.
1 low-resolution image
1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
Browser-reported issues
Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).
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
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 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 260 words of copy
The homepage carries about 260 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW” and “JOIN NOW”.

4 short forms

Privacy and tracking
7 trackers load before any consent
7Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 2 mores (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.
16 cookies set on arrival
16Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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.
32 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 32 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 loveamikapro.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 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
