Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 48
48/100Your mobile performance score is 48. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 5.7 s
A phone's processor spends 5.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Improve image delivery
800 ms · 242 KiB3 images could be 242 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (userway.org, Shopify and richpanel.com and others), adding 486 KiB and 708 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
450 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 450 ms.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 67 KiBAbout 67 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.
1,834 HTML elements
The page has 1,834 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused JavaScript
140 ms · 142 KiBAbout 142 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 140 ms faster on a phone.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 244 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
31 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 31 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
18 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (18 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
7 KiB7 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
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 CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

First Contentful Paint: 2.6 s
2.6 sThe first text or image appears after 2.6 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
8 images without width and height
8 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Tap response (INP) got 16% faster for real visitors
-16%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 92 ms to 75 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 14% faster for real visitors
-14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.06
0.06The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.06, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.1 MB in 179 requests
2.1 MBYour homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 179 requests on a phone: other files 769 KiB (90), scripts 644 KiB (56) and images 357 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
187 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example FC-Royal_Canes_Site-Lifestyle-Banner1b_b0006278-b046-4d2a-b5 at 1,890 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 187 KiB.
About 0.6 g of CO₂ per visit
0.59 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.59 g of CO₂e: 70.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
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.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
5 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (5 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents (4 elements)
Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (4 elements)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
Hidden but focusable
15 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
Interactive controls must not be nested (8 elements)
Interactive controls must not be nested: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (6 elements)
ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (15 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 15 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.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (5 elements)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings should not be empty (1 element)
Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 62 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 16 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (80 characters)
Your title is 80 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Royal Canes - High Quality Wholesale Walking Canes & Walking Sticks – RoyalCanes”.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“” and “”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Meta description is long (182 characters)
Your meta description is 182 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
11 links crawlers can't follow
11 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
122 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 122 pages on royalcanes.com and 0 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://royalcanes.com/.
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://royalcanes.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 (593 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://royalcanes.com/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 76 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Shopify's Google Analytics stub called with: [array Array] See https://help.shopify.com/manual/promoting-marketing/pixe…”.
2 low-resolution images
2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
117 of 139 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
About 980 words of copy
The homepage carries about 980 words of visible text.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP ALL CANES” and “SHOP ALL WOOD CANES”.
16 calls to action
The homepage has 16 calls to action, for example “Shop All Canes”, “Shop All Wood Canes” and “Shop All Collections”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Risk reducer mentioned
A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.
Privacy and tracking
13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening the homepage sets 13 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.
16 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 16 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 royalcanes.com, 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 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
