Render-blocking requests
1.4 s5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Mobile performance score: 79
79/100Your mobile performance score is 79. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 267 KiBAbout 267 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 41 KiBAbout 41 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (reamaze.com, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo and others), adding 906 KiB and 309 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
220 KiB10 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (220 KiB).
Improve image delivery
114 KiB8 images could be 114 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 100 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Legacy JavaScript
19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.4 MB in 204 requests
2.4 MBYour homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 204 requests on a phone: scripts 924 KiB (68), other files 911 KiB (104) and images 486 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Untitled_design_1.png is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.69 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.69 g of CO₂e: 83.2 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 are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
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.
Hidden but focusable
5 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.
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 (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 3 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is short (18 characters)
Your title is only 18 characters: “SBD Apparel Canada”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
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 short (58 characters)
Your meta description is only 58 characters: “The official distributor of SBD Apparel Products in Canada”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
144 internal links, 5 external
The homepage links to 144 pages on sbdapparel.ca and 5 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “SBD Apparel Canada”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://sbdapparel.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://sbdapparel.ca/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 (390 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
10 pages without a meta description
/collections/all, /pages/knee-sleeve-comparison, /collections/sbd-weightlifting, /collections/knee-wraps, /collections/banners and /collections/mens-powerlifting-and-weightlifting-apparel and 4 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=26053805&Ver=2&mid=39077cda-b3fd-468e-a121-aee151fbb31b&bo=1&sid=28c6df20db8b11f1812769c2f8c459c7&vid=28c74070db8b11f1b4f38fc4b6311e56&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg.
8 small tap targets
8 of 32 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
Short HSTS lifetime
HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.
2 links through redirect chains
2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://instagram.com/sbdcanada.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
Deprecated X-XSS-Protection
X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
7 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (sbdapparel.ca).
Valid certificate (46 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for sbdapparel.ca and is valid for another 46 days.
Protected from clickjacking
X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.
Content-Security-Policy set
A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
http:// redirects to https
http://sbdapparel.ca redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3
The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 43 links work
All 43 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 3 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
sbdapparel.ca has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
sbdapparel.ca's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
2 checks passed
Domain is 10 years old
10 yearssbdapparel.ca was registered in Nov 2015 through 8648255 CANADA LTD. O/A Dynadot LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Nov 2027
sbdapparel.ca is registered until Nov 2027.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 10 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
Only about 203 words
The homepage has only about 203 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
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.
10 calls to action
The homepage has 10 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Shop Now” and “Contact Us”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be sbdapparel.ca is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.
No DKIM key on the usual selectors
We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.
Email authentication score: 60/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
1 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all”.
Privacy and tracking

6Before 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.
22 cookies set on arrival
22Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
