mrspa.ca website review

About 504 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Bold Commerce and Amazon Web Services and others), adding 952 KiB and 644 ms of main-thread time.

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

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 336 ms of main-thread work and 198 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 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 296 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Bold Commerce costs a phone 241 ms of main-thread work and 484 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.

A phone's processor spends 2.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 776 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (247 KiB).

About 15 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.

1 image could be 27 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

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.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Your largest element takes 4.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 442 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

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.

Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 186 requests on a phone: scripts 965 KiB (40), other files 914 KiB (112) and stylesheets 76 KiB (25). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 70.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

2 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Your title is 84 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Hot Tub Repair, Maintenance & Delivery | Mr. Spa Ottawa, GTA & Halifax – Mr Spa - ON”.

There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “Professional Hot Tub Delivery & Repair Services A…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

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

The homepage links to 39 pages on mrspa.ca and 5 external pages.

https://mrspa.ca/pages/request-a-delivery-quote, https://mrspa.ca/pages/request-a-spa-service-quote, https://mrspa.ca/blogs/news, https://mrspa.ca/pages/quote-request, https://mrspa.ca/policies/refund-policy and https://mrspa.ca/policies/terms-of-service and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://mrspa.ca/pages/hot-tub-service-ottawa-gta-halifax, https://mrspa.ca/collections/hot-tub-delivery-ottawa-gta-halifax, https://mrspa.ca/pages/request-a-delivery-quote, https://mrspa.ca/pages/request-a-spa-service-quote, https://mrspa.ca/pages/contact-mr-spa and https://mrspa.ca/pages/meet-the-team and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 14 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/classic-061523.css' from origin 'https://mrspa.…”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 554 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag and 1 more (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.

Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 18 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
