Speed
Main-thread work: 6.4 s
A phone's processor spends 6.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 4.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (calconic.com, Shopify and sealsubscriptions.com and others), adding 1.5 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
16 long tasks on the main thread
16 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.1 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
calconic.com adds 922 ms
922 mscalconic.com costs a phone 922 ms of main-thread work and 1.0 MB 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.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 658 KiBAbout 658 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
150 ms · 630 KiB50 images could be 630 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
738 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (738 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
600 ms8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
450 ms · 84 KiBAbout 84 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Minify JavaScript
251 KiB251 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
2,197 HTML elements
The page has 2,197 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Legacy JavaScript
21 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 21 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.

18.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 18.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 2.3 s

Largest Contentful Paint: 4.5 s
4.5 sYour largest element takes 4.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.0 MB in 253 requests
4.0 MBYour homepage downloads 4.0 MB in 253 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (48), images 1.3 MB (76) and other files 917 KiB (109). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
6 images in older formats
6 images (413 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.
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (33 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit
1.13 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.13 g of CO₂e: 135.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
8 tap targets too small
8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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 (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (9 characters)
Your title is only 9 characters: “Modern K9”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
Meta description is short (63 characters)
Your meta description is only 63 characters: “Your Raw Food Super Store! Locally owned, and Canadian sourced.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
180 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 180 pages on modernk9.ca and 5 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.modernk9.ca/.
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://www.modernk9.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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.modernk9.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.
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 (772 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 page without a meta description
https://www.modernk9.ca/pages/raw-food-calculator has 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 90 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
5 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

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 5 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
53 small tap targets
53 of 164 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 31 testimonial or review blocks. 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 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 633 words of copy
The homepage carries about 633 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “SHOP ALL” and “Contact Us”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Opening hours shown
Your opening hours are on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before 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
10Opening 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.
15 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 15 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 modernk9.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
