Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 87
87/100Your mobile performance score is 87. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
650 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 215 KiBAbout 215 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.
2,229 HTML elements
The page has 2,229 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Key CDN and Shopify and others), adding 546 KiB and 330 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused CSS
77 KiBAbout 77 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 64 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Legacy JavaScript
45 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
44 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (44 KiB).
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.4 s
A phone's processor spends 1.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 589 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 8 ms
8 msYour server sent the HTML in 8 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
Real-user CLS: 0.77
0.77For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.77 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Speed Index: 5.8 s
5.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sThe first text or image appears after 2.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 2.7 s
2.7 sYour largest element takes 2.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Please choose the Sysco North location for your community. …”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.4 s).
Time to Interactive: 3.8 s
3.8 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 3.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
+2%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.6 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Total Blocking Time: 16 ms
16 msScripts block the page for only 16 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.47 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.47 g of CO₂e: 56.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 1.7 MB in 171 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 171 requests on a phone: other files 734 KiB (88), scripts 695 KiB (62) and stylesheets 123 KiB (10). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
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
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (3 elements)
ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated critical by axe-core.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
1 text element with low contrast
1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
<html> element must have a lang attribute (1 element)
<html> element must have a lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Malformed lists
Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.
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 (6 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
No page language
The <html> element has no lang attribute, so screen readers may read the page in the wrong voice and accent.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
45 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 8 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No H1 headline
There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.
Title is short (11 characters)
Your title is only 11 characters: “Sysco North”. 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 short (47 characters)
Your meta description is only 47 characters: “Connecting communities to quality food choices.”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.
599 internal links, 3 external
The homepage links to 599 pages on sysconorth.ca and 3 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://sysconorth.ca/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
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://sysconorth.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 (925 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://sysconorth.ca/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
13 pages without a meta description
https://sysconorth.ca/collections/all-items-bbb-gods-rsl, https://sysconorth.ca/collections/meat-packs-bbb-gods-rsl, https://sysconorth.ca/collections/produce-bbb-gods-rsl, https://sysconorth.ca/collections/grocery-bbb-gods-rsl, https://sysconorth.ca/collections/dairy-bbb-gods-rsl and https://sysconorth.ca/collections/meat-bbb-gods-rsl and 7 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
13 pages without an H1
https://sysconorth.ca/pages/aboutus, https://sysconorth.ca/collections/all-items-bbb-gods-rsl, https://sysconorth.ca/collections/produce-bbb-gods-rsl, https://sysconorth.ca/collections/grocery-bbb-gods-rsl, https://sysconorth.ca/collections/dairy-bbb-gods-rsl and https://sysconorth.ca/collections/meat-bbb-gods-rsl and 7 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

Best practices

9 small tap targets
9 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
2 checks passed
No console errors
No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
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 288 words of copy
The homepage carries about 288 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: “Contact”.
53 calls to action

1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Klaviyo 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.
10 cookies set on arrival
10Opening the homepage sets 10 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.
12 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 12 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 sysconorth.ca, 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 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
Apps your storefront loads
