Speed
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 1.5 MB22 images could be 1.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 5.2 s
A phone's processor spends 5.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
310 ms · 655 KiBAbout 655 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 310 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, rebuyengine.com and Klaviyo and others), adding 1.8 MB and 743 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 166 KiB28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (166 KiB).
Render-blocking requests
450 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Shopify adds 223 ms
223 msShopify costs a phone 223 ms of main-thread work and 563 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.
2,727 HTML elements
The page has 2,727 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
rebuyengine.com adds 142 ms
142 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 142 ms of main-thread work and 695 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
150 ms · 52 KiBAbout 52 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.
8 long tasks on the main thread
8 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 116 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
57 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 57 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.8 MB in 390 requests
7.8 MBYour homepage downloads 7.8 MB in 390 requests on a phone: media 2.5 MB (4), images 2.3 MB (34) and scripts 1.7 MB (178). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.22 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.22 g of CO₂e: 266.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.
10 tap targets too small
10 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
9 text elements with low contrast
9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
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.
7 links without text

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

49 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 49 passed and 8 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Roots of Fight”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
Meta description is long (320 characters)
Your meta description is 320 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

The homepage links to 363 pages on rootsoffight.ca and 10 external pages.
6 checks passed

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://www.rootsoffight.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
