Speed
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s15 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Improve image delivery
300 ms · 896 KiB11 images could be 896 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
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
300 ms · 263 KiBAbout 263 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.
loloyal.com adds 265 ms
265 msloloyal.com costs a phone 265 ms of main-thread work and 393 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.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (loloyal.com, Shopify and Yotpo and others), adding 900 KiB and 371 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 41 KiB9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (41 KiB).
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 78 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
17 KiBAbout 17 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.
Minify JavaScript
2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.8 s
A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 669 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 11 ms
11 msYour server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.2 s
8.2 sYour largest element takes 8.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 10.3 s
10.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 10.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.
3 checks passed
Speed Index: 3.0 s
3.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.0 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001
0.001The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 22 ms
22 msScripts block the page for only 22 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.3 MB in 227 requests
3.3 MBYour homepage downloads 3.3 MB in 227 requests on a phone: images 1.3 MB (19), other files 803 KiB (104) and scripts 790 KiB (64). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
MixPro_Banner_Canada_New-Flavors_ontario_2.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).
6 images far larger than shown
447 KiB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Grape_Ice.png at 900 px wide, shown at 186 px. Resized copies would save about 447 KiB.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.93 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.93 g of CO₂e: 111.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 form fields without a label

Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 17 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
Title is short (16 characters)
Your title is only 16 characters: “ShopVapes Canada”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
75 internal links, 1 external
The homepage links to 75 pages on shopvapes.ca and 1 external page.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “ShopVapes Canada”.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://shopvapes.ca/sitemap.xml.

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.

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 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.
