Speed
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Render-blocking requests
800 ms2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 800 ms.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 332 KiB10 images could be 332 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 64 KiBAbout 64 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Main-thread work: 3.3 s
A phone's processor spends 3.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 774 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Klaviyo and sezzle.com and others), adding 240 KiB and 220 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 81 KiBAbout 81 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 25 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
74 KiB7 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (74 KiB).
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 70 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.1 s
6.1 sYour largest element takes 6.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.
Time to Interactive: 6.2 s
6.2 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 3.5 s
3.5 sVisually, the page fills in at 3.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
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.
3 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.078
0.078The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.078, good is under 0.1).
First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s
1.1 sThe first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Total Blocking Time: 24 ms
24 msScripts block the page for only 24 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.6 MB in 244 requests
6.6 MBYour homepage downloads 6.6 MB in 244 requests on a phone: media 4.2 MB (1), other files 1.0 MB (161) and images 772 KiB (21). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
XR_Collection_Onewheel.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).
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.86 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.86 g of CO₂e: 222.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images 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
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 (5 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 2 failed. 2 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 (21 characters)
Your title is only 21 characters: “The Float Life 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.
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“The Float Life | Onewheel Parts, Accessories, & U…” and “The Float Life | Onewheel Parts, Accessories, & U…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
125 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 125 pages on thefloatlife.ca and 0 external pages.
4 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://thefloatlife.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://thefloatlife.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 (416 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes https://thefloatlife.ca/llms.txt (5 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
https://thefloatlife.ca/collections/onewheel%E2%84%A2-parts-accessories, https://thefloatlife.ca/pages/contact and https://thefloatlife.ca/collections/onewheel%E2%84%A2-tires have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
9 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 9 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://thefloatlife.ca/collections/onewheel%E2%84%A2-parts-accessories, whose canonical is https://thefloatlife.ca/collections/onewheel%e2%84%a2-parts-accessories. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
1 page without an H1
https://thefloatlife.ca/pages/contact has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
1 page slow to respond
https://thefloatlife.ca/collections/onewheel%E2%84%A2-parts-accessories took over 3 s to send its HTML from our server.

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 264 words of copy
The homepage carries about 264 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
