Speed

2 to fix94
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.3 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.

  • Shopify adds 2 ms

    2 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 2 ms of main-thread work and 334 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (negate.io, skio.com and Shopify and others), adding 466 KiB and 122 ms of main-thread time.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 84 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Improve image delivery

    81 KiB

    4 images could be 81 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    75 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (75 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    42 KiB

    About 42 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    23 KiB

    About 23 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 94

    94/100

    Your mobile performance score is 94. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 263 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 14 ms

    14 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 14 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix100

    4.6 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 20 images without width and height

    20 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Time to Interactive: 3.4 s

    3.4 s

    The page is fully interactive after 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.1 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “How to Clean a Menstrual Disc”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.42 g of CO₂e: 50.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.5 MB in 81 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 81 requests on a phone: scripts 1,005 KiB (37), images 332 KiB (28) and stylesheets 84 KiB (10). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9294
  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (4 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 41 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 46 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 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

3 to fixGoogle 10085
  • Title is long (84 characters)

    Your title is 84 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “nixit Canada | Reusable period care, intimacy and wellness essentials – nixit canada”.

  • 4 H1 headlines

    There are 4 <h1> headlines (“What goes in your body matters.”, “Let's talk about it.” and “A clean swap”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 48 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 48 pages on nixit.ca and 11 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 151 characters

    Your meta description is 151 characters: “Vagina-friendly care, made by women. Best-selling menstrual disc, sexual wellness products, and supplements for comfort…”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://nixit.ca/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • robots.txt in place

AI search readiness

100
4 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.

  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (560 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://nixit.ca/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://nixit.ca/collections/products has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 29 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    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 465 words of copy

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 12 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 12 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 nixit.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 5 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads
