Speed
Mobile performance score: 39
39/100Your mobile performance score is 39. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.0 s
A phone's processor spends 7.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
8.6 MB8 images could be 8.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Shopify and others), adding 29.4 MB and 2.4 s of main-thread time.
Shopify adds 383 ms
383 msShopify costs a phone 383 ms of main-thread work and 28.4 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.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 674 KiBAbout 674 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 695 ms
695 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 695 ms of main-thread work and 546 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.
Render-blocking requests
700 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.
15 long tasks on the main thread
15 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 513 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Hotjar adds 458 ms
458 msHotjar costs a phone 458 ms of main-thread work and 65 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.
Other Google APIs/SDKs adds 365 ms
365 msOther Google APIs/SDKs costs a phone 365 ms of main-thread work and 22 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.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 65 KiBAbout 65 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.
Google CDN adds 242 ms
242 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 242 ms of main-thread work and 330 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.
1,906 HTML elements
The page has 1,906 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
100 ms · 69 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (69 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 26 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
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.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

977 msReal visitors wait 977 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
27 images without width and height
27 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-6%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 99 ms to 92 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
Page weight: 31.3 MB in 346 requests
31.3 MBYour homepage downloads 31.3 MB in 346 requests on a phone: media 19.1 MB (3), images 9.0 MB (61) and scripts 1.8 MB (139). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image over 500 KB
42e6756e4b73e7a7107f98ef99a66485.gif weighs 19.8 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
2 images in older formats
2 images (20.2 MB) 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.
5 images far larger than shown
140 KiB5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Louvered-Pergola-PE.webp at 1,250 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 140 KiB.
About 8.9 g of CO₂ per visit
8.88 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 8.88 g of CO₂e: 1065.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Frames without titles
1 frame has no title, so screen-reader users cannot tell what it contains.
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 (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
1 form field without a label
1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
1 checks passed
45 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: 45 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Meta description is long (170 characters)
Your meta description is 170 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (BreadcrumbList, Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
295 internal links, 30 external
The homepage links to 295 pages on purpleleafshop.ca and 30 external pages.
4 checks passed
Title: 60 characters
Your title is a healthy 60 characters: “Purple Leaf Canada - #1 Supplier of Modern Outdoor Furniture”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://purpleleafshop.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://purpleleafshop.ca/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)
Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.
No llms.txt
There is no https://purpleleafshop.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 (1,113 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 91 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices
3 broken images
3 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=97013273&Ver=2&mid=4bd8b9fb-7c3d-4b63-98de-5bfc491178db&bo=1&sid=b5691610dcfd11f1bd6cb1bb95b648b9&vid=b56937e0dcfd11f199864b165c2bce30&vids=1&msclkid=N&pid=em%3Dd8d82a.
6 small tap targets
6 of 10 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

5 low-resolution images
5 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 174 words
The homepage has only about 174 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
4 checks passed

19 cookies set on arrival
19Opening the homepage sets 19 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions
