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
Improve image delivery
1.4 s · 1.8 MB23 images could be 1.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.5 s · 1.2 MBAbout 1.2 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
1.4 s23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.4 s.
Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Freshchat, Google Tag Manager and Facebook and others), adding 2.7 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 52
52/100Your mobile performance score is 52. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
300 ms · 474 KiB18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (474 KiB).
Reduce unused CSS
300 ms · 143 KiBAbout 143 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.
Freshchat adds 301 ms
301 msFreshchat costs a phone 301 ms of main-thread work and 869 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 161 ms
161 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 161 ms of main-thread work and 312 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.
1,743 HTML elements
The page has 1,743 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
monkcommerce.app adds 114 ms
114 msmonkcommerce.app costs a phone 114 ms of main-thread work and 548 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.
Shopify adds 128 ms
128 msShopify costs a phone 128 ms of main-thread work and 347 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.
Legacy JavaScript
150 ms · 61 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 61 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 12 KiB12 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
13 long tasks on the main thread
13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 115 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Minify JavaScript
39 KiB39 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Duplicated JavaScript
9 KiB9 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
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.

First Contentful Paint: 3.0 s
3.0 sThe first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Tap response (INP) got 30% slower for real visitors
+30%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 129 ms to 165 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.132
0.132The layout shifts by 0.132 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Total Blocking Time: 213 ms
213 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 213 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
7 images without width and height
7 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 11.0 MB in 421 requests
11.0 MBYour homepage downloads 11.0 MB in 421 requests on a phone: images 6.0 MB (47), scripts 3.3 MB (144) and other files 1.1 MB (185). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
5 images over 500 KB
5 images weigh 3.2 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.
6 images far larger than shown
740 KiB6 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Black_Friday_2026_Homepage_Banner_Mobile_US_CA.webp at 1,400 px wide, shown at 356 px. Resized copies would save about 740 KiB.
16 images in older formats
16 images (5.9 MB) are 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.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (399 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 3.1 g of CO₂ per visit
3.11 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.11 g of CO₂e: 372.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

SEO
No structured data

The homepage links to 185 pages on trakracer.ca and 29 external pages.

XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://trakracer.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.

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

llms.txt published
The site publishes https://trakracer.ca/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
6 pages without a meta description

1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://trakracer.ca/collections/alpine-racing-trx/%3F, whose canonical is https://trakracer.ca/collections/alpine-racing-trx. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
11 pages without an H1
