sleaves.ca website review

About 396 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.9 s faster on a phone.

8 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (216 KiB).

Your mobile performance score is 67. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

12 images could be 188 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.

7 third-party services load with your homepage (Facebook, Google Tag Manager and Shopify and others), adding 1.0 MB and 448 ms of main-thread time.

Shopify costs a phone 66 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.

10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 135 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

5 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

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

Your largest element takes 10.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 10.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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.

Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 212 requests on a phone: scripts 1.0 MB (77), other files 724 KiB (77) and images 618 KiB (19). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

autumn-trees-hillside.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 (117 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.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 88.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

27 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

Your meta description is 240 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 55 pages on sleaves.ca and 13 external pages.

/products/pocket-pages%E2%84%A2-by-sleaves-pocket-sized-notebooks 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.

/ and /products/pocket-pages%E2%84%A2-by-sleaves-pocket-sized-notebooks all use the title “Handmade Leather Wallets, Cardholders & EDC – Sleaves”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

/collections/all, /policies/shipping-policy, /policies/refund-policy and /blogs/blog-posts have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

/collections/all, /collections/handmade-leather-wallets-billfolds, /collections/handmade-leather-card-holders, /collections/leather-accessories, /collections/leather-templates and /pages/about-the-leather and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/blogs/blog-posts, /pages/contact and /products/the-oak-veg-tan-leather-cash-card-holder took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Refused to apply style from 'https://sleaves.ca/cdn/shop/t/14/assets/custom.css?v=882' because its MIME type ('text/htm…”.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage carries about 655 words of visible text.

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

Opening the homepage sets 11 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
