lumberliquidators.ca website review

About 384 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 3.6 s faster on a phone.

10 images could be 372 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 65). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Exponea and Shopify and others), adding 1.2 MB and 593 ms of main-thread time.

Google CDN costs a phone 438 ms of main-thread work and 733 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.

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.

A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

The page has 1,664 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

About 49 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.

3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (48 KiB).

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 156 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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.

Your homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 185 requests on a phone: other files 1.2 MB (88), scripts 1.0 MB (54) and images 982 KiB (16). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

LL102026-Web-Banners-Headers-Mobile-2_2e0cd634-3e84-4392-acf 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).

1 image further down the page (35 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 119.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

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

1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

Your meta description is 171 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

Your <h1> is empty.
