Speed
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Shopify and MailMunch and others), adding 133 KiB and 58 ms of main-thread time.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Main-thread work: 1.2 s
A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 355 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Speed Index: 5.2 s
5.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.1 s
2.1 sThe first text or image appears after 2.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
13 images without width and height
13 images 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.
1 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (24 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.4 g of CO₂ per visit
0.39 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 46.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.4 MB in 138 requests
1.4 MBYour homepage downloads 1.4 MB in 138 requests on a phone: other files 733 KiB (82), scripts 306 KiB (33) and images 258 KiB (13). That is a lean page.
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.

1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (1 element)

2 checks passed
Every image has alt text

48 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 57 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 9 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 short (13 characters)
Your title is only 13 characters: “Spark Clarity”. 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 long (317 characters)
Your meta description is 317 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No favicon declared
No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
43 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 43 pages on sparkclarity.ca and 6 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Spark Clarity”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://sparkclarity.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://sparkclarity.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 (391 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://sparkclarity.ca/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
6 pages without a meta description
https://sparkclarity.ca/pages/consulting-2020, https://sparkclarity.ca/pages/speaking, https://sparkclarity.ca/collections/online-shop, https://sparkclarity.ca/blogs/podcast, https://sparkclarity.ca/pages/new-about and https://sparkclarity.ca/pages/contact-2020 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
4 pages without an H1
https://sparkclarity.ca/pages/consulting-2020, https://sparkclarity.ca/pages/speaking, https://sparkclarity.ca/pages/new-about and https://sparkclarity.ca/pages/contact-2020 have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page with very little text
https://sparkclarity.ca/collections/online-shop has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
10 internal pages checked
We fetched 10 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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 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 373 words of copy
The homepage carries about 373 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
9 calls to action
The homepage has 9 calls to action, for example “shop”, “learn more about clary chambers” and “Learn More”.
3 short forms
3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 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.
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 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
