Speed

5 to fix72
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 s · 201 KiB

    About 201 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.

  • Mobile performance score: 72

    72/100

    Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    500 ms · 80 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (80 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    350 ms · 82 KiB

    2 images could be 82 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • 6 third-party services on the page

    6 third-party services load with your homepage (Klaviyo, reputon.com and product-image-zoom.com and others), adding 400 KiB and 239 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 29 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 29 KiB

    About 29 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.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 134 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.4 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 480 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 8 ms

    8 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

4 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    Your largest element takes 8.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.9 s

    8.9 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.0 s

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.9 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

6 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 80 ms

    80 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 80 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.43 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.43 g of CO₂e: 51.7 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 139 requests

    1.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.5 MB in 139 requests on a phone: other files 700 KiB (77), scripts 552 KiB (46) and images 206 KiB (11). 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 8994
  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • 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.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 16 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 10088
  • 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 long (251 characters)

    Your meta description is 251 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

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

  • 109 internal links, 7 external

    The homepage links to 109 pages on ricksproshop.ca and 7 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Rick's Pro Ski Shop”.

  • Title: 65 characters

    Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “Rick's Pro Ski Shop | Your full-service ski shop at Blue Mountain”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ricksproshop.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://ricksproshop.ca/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

3 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 (902 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

3 to fix83
  • 2 pages share a title

    https://ricksproshop.ca/products/youth-ages-12-16-ski-rental-package and https://ricksproshop.ca/products/youth-ages-12-16-snowboard-rental-package all use the title “Youth (ages 12 - 16) Ski Rental Package | Rick's Pro Ski Shop”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://ricksproshop.ca/pages/seasonal-rentals has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page without an H1

    https://ricksproshop.ca/pages/seasonal-rentals has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    17 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 457 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 457 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “BOOK RENTALS ONLINE” and “SHOP ONLINE”.

  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Contact Us” and “Book Rentals Online”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 18 testimonial or review blocks and a star rating.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel 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.

  • 12 cookies set on arrival

    12

    Opening the homepage sets 12 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.

  • 18 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 18 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 ricksproshop.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
