Speed

10 to fix62
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.6 s

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.6 s.

  • 10,136 HTML elements

    The page has 10,136 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Main-thread work: 4.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    150 ms · 1.3 MB

    18 images could be 1.3 MB 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 (Shopify, Klevu Search and Noibu and others), adding 1.2 MB and 882 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 62

    62/100

    Your mobile performance score is 62. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 444 KiB

    About 444 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 567 ms

    567 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 567 ms of main-thread work and 579 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 376 KiB

    28 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (376 KiB).

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 272 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 58 KiB

    About 58 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 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.

  • Forced reflow

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

  • Minify JavaScript

    3 KiB

    3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 18 ms

    18 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 18 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Your largest element takes 6.3 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 11.4 s

    11.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 11.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user INP: 262 ms

    262 ms

    Real visitors wait 262 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • 32 images without width and height

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 373 ms

    373 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 373 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +9%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 204 ms to 228 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors wait 2.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.02

    0.02

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 435 ms

    435 ms

    Real visitors wait 435 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.7 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.011

    0.011

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.011, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix36
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 339 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 339 requests on a phone: images 2.4 MB (34), scripts 1.5 MB (130) and other files 809 KiB (116). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    rainbowdumpling_170x.gif weighs 601 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    W44-MobileHeroSpots-10263.jpg 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).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (601 KiB) is JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.42 g of CO₂e: 170.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

13 to fixGoogle 7784
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    2 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (2 elements)

    Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 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

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

  • Interactive controls must not be nested (3 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA input fields must have an accessible name (2 elements)

    ARIA input fields must have an accessible name: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA toggle fields must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 tap target too small

    1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 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 (20 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 20 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 4 form fields without a label

    4 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (2 elements)

    Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h2 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 55 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 66 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 55 passed and 11 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10092
  • No social preview image

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

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 1,826 internal links, 18 external

    The homepage links to 1,826 pages on shopatshowcasecanada.com and 18 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 94 characters

    Your meta description is 94 characters: “Showcase is the Home of The Hottest Trends with over 150 stores in malls across North America.”.

  • Title: 37 characters

    Your title is a healthy 37 characters: “Showcase - Home Of The Hottest Trends”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://ca.shopatshowcase.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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.

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 (6,326 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

6 to fix48
  • 1 linked page is broken

    Your homepage links to https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/collections/black-friday-2025, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.

  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/products/orb-curiosities-smushers-toy-bling-bag-1pc-ships-assorted-order-online-free-shipping-or-shop-in-store declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/products/orb-curiosities-smushers-toy-bling-bag-1pc-ships-assorted-order-online-free-shipping-or-shop-in-store all use the title “Showcase - Home Of The Hottest Trends”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 3 pages without a meta description

    https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/pages/flash-sales, https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/pages/flyer and https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/collections/all-new-arrivals have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 7 pages share a meta description

    https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/pages/squishies, https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/products/crunch-squish-candy-series-crunchy-squishy-stress-ball-fidget-toy-1pc-color-ships-assorted-order-online-free-shipping-or-shop-in-store, https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/products/glitter-mystery-bao-bun-big-7in-dumpling-squishy-fidget-toy-1pc-order-online-free-shipping-or-shop-in-store, https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/products/mystery-dumpling-bao-bun-fidget-squishy-24-day-countdown-calendar-24pc, https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/products/sugar-squishies-mini-maltose-fidget-toys-24-day-advent-countdown-calendar-24pc-order-online-free-shipping-or-shop-in-store and https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/products/taba-squishies-fidget-toys-24-day-countdown-calendar-24pc-order-online-free-shipping-or-shop-in-store and 1 other use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 12 pages without an H1

    https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/pages/store-locator, https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/pages/flash-sales, https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/pages/squishies, https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/pages/flyer, https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/collections/all-new-arrivals and https://ca.shopatshowcase.com/products/crunch-squish-candy-series-crunchy-squishy-stress-ball-fidget-toy-1pc-color-ships-assorted-order-online-free-shipping-or-shop-in-store and 6 others have 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 163 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

3 to fixGoogle 6588
  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “myInit is not defined”.

  • 2 distorted images

    2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

  • 2 low-resolution images

    2 images are served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    101 of 116 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix75
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • 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.

  • 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 757 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 757 words of visible text.

3 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.

  • 280 calls to action

    The homepage has 280 calls to action, for example “SHOP NOW”, “Sign Up” and “Shop The Gift Guide”.

  • 5 short forms

    5 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Criteo, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel and 3 mores (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.

  • 28 cookies set on arrival

    28

    Opening the homepage sets 28 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.

  • 53 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 53 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 shopatshowcasecanada.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 17 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
