Speed

8 to fix71
  • Mobile performance score: 71

    71/100

    Your mobile performance score is 71. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    750 ms

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 750 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 526 KiB

    20 images could be 526 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.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Yotpo and Shopify and others), adding 809 KiB and 540 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 401 ms

    401 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 401 ms of main-thread work and 552 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.

  • Main-thread work: 4.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    265 KiB

    About 265 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 2,544 HTML elements

    The page has 2,544 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 215 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify JavaScript

    70 ms · 14 KiB

    14 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    60 KiB

    21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (60 KiB).

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 KiB

    About 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied 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.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

5 to fix100
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s

    6.5 s

    Your largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 12.7 s

    12.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 12.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 258 ms

    258 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 258 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 3.8 s

    3.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 12% slower for real visitors

    +12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 85 ms to 96 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

8 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: 1.4 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.

  • Real-user TTFB: 418 ms

    418 ms

    Real visitors wait 418 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.017

    0.017

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.017, good is under 0.1).

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

2 to fix75
  • Page weight: 3.7 MB in 264 requests

    3.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 3.7 MB in 264 requests on a phone: images 1.9 MB (93), scripts 959 KiB (65) and other files 641 KiB (76). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images far larger than shown

    183 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Untitled_design.jpg at 1,200 px wide, shown at 175 px. Resized copies would save about 183 KiB.

  • 4 images below the first screen load straight away

    4 images further down the page (280 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.1 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.05 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.05 g of CO₂e: 126.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 9191
  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

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

  • Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)

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

  • 2 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (32 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 32 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h6 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 7 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 8586
  • Title is long (70 characters)

    Your title is 70 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Rize Bikes Canada | Dual Battery Electric Bikes for Ultimate Adventure”.

  • Meta description is long (270 characters)

    Your meta description is 270 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 4 links with vague text

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

  • 204 internal links, 16 external

    The homepage links to 204 pages on rizebikes.ca and 16 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “SAVE $1,000 ON RIZE RX”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://rizebikes.ca/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

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 (1,594 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 5 small tap targets

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix94
  • 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 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 973 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 973 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

7 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP ALL DEALS” and “Start Shopping”.

  • 10 calls to action

    The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “SHOP ALL DEALS” and “Learn More”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block and “70,000+ Riders”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

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

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 5 trackers load before any consent

    5

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

  • 15 cookies set on arrival

    15

    Opening the homepage sets 15 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.

  • 21 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 21 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 rizebikes.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
