Speed
Document request latency
5.7 sThe HTML itself could arrive about 5.7 s sooner: redirects, a slow server response or missing compression delay everything after it.
Reduce initial server response time
5.6 sReduce initial server response time. Google estimates savings of 5.6 s on a phone.
Server response: 5.7 s
5.7 sYour server takes 5.7 s to send the HTML. Google recommends under 600 ms; everything else waits for it.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Hubspot and others), adding 1.1 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 55
55/100Your mobile performance score is 55 (desktop: 77). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Google Tag Manager adds 567 ms
567 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 567 ms of main-thread work and 509 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.
Render-blocking requests
600 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 418 KiBAbout 418 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
326 KiB16 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (326 KiB).
Main-thread work: 3.0 s
A phone's processor spends 3.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
12 long tasks on the main thread
12 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 288 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
1,810 HTML elements
The page has 1,810 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 32 KiBAbout 32 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
41 KiB2 images could be 41 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
24 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 24 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
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.
Speed Index: 14.1 s

Time to Interactive: 13.3 s
13.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 13.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 830 ms
830 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 830 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest Contentful Paint: 4.4 s
4.4 sYour largest element takes 4.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “For over 60 years, TFI Food Equipment Solutions has been Ca…”. Most of its time is time to first byte (5.7 s).

Images and page weight
1 image below the first screen load straight away
1 image further down the page (20 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.52 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.52 g of CO₂e: 62.1 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: 1.8 MB in 100 requests
1.8 MBYour homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 100 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (56), images 227 KiB (22) and HTML 86 KiB (1). 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.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Links must have discernible text (3 elements)
Links must have discernible text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
90 form fields without a label
90 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
1 tap target too small
1 tap target is too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
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
50 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 6 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (81 characters)
Your title is 81 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “#1 Commercial Kitchen Equipment Supplier – Ontario & Atlantic Canada | TFI Canada”.
Meta description is long (161 characters)
