One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
1.9 s · 448 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (448 KiB).
Improve image delivery
650 ms · 1.1 MB14 images could be 1.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 650 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
roseperl.com adds 286 ms
286 msroseperl.com costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 860 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.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 341 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Render-blocking requests
300 ms3 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.
1,744 HTML elements
The page has 1,744 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (roseperl.com, 9gtb.com and Shopify and others), adding 1,007 KiB and 344 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
170 ms · 34 KiBAbout 34 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 170 ms faster on a phone.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.4 s

Server response: 6 ms
6 msYour server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals

+22%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Speed Index: 5.2 s

Images and page weight
Page weight: 13.3 MB in 197 requests
13.3 MBYour homepage downloads 13.3 MB in 197 requests on a phone: media 8.8 MB (2), images 2.5 MB (32) and scripts 1.1 MB (65). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (84 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 3.8 g of CO₂ per visit
3.77 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.77 g of CO₂e: 452.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
4 text elements with low contrast
4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
3 images without alt text
3 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
8 links without text
8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
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. 3 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 (14 characters)
Your title is only 14 characters: “Sun Bum 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.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
1 link with vague text
1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
66 internal links, 7 external
The homepage links to 66 pages on sunbum-ca.com and 7 external pages.
4 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Trust The Bum®.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.sunbum.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://www.sunbum.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.
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.sunbum.ca/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
2 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 (318 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

15 internal pages checked

Best practices
8 small tap targets
8 of 23 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“`<source src>` with a `<picture>` parent is invalid and therefore ignored. Please use `<source srcs…”).
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.
20 distorted images
20 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. 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 407 words of copy
The homepage carries about 407 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”.
7 calls to action
The homepage has 7 calls to action, for example “Shop”, “Shop All Sun Care” and “Shop All”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
8 cookies set on arrival
8Opening the homepage sets 8 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (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
The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at sunbum-ca.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 3 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
