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
Use efficient cache lifetimes
2.5 s · 668 KiB21 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (668 KiB).
Improve image delivery
1.6 s · 804 KiB18 images could be 804 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.6 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
2.1 s · 350 KiBAbout 350 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.1 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 49
49/100Your mobile performance score is 49. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 8.2 s
A phone's processor spends 8.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
3,161 HTML elements
The page has 3,161 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 (podium.com, Affirm and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.8 MB and 919 ms of main-thread time.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
podium.com adds 282 ms
282 mspodium.com costs a phone 282 ms of main-thread work and 684 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 95 ms
95 msShopify costs a phone 95 ms of main-thread work and 471 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.
6 long tasks on the main thread
6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 196 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 29 KiBAbout 29 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.
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.
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.
Minify CSS
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Minify JavaScript
4 KiB4 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

410 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 410 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 4.2 MB in 416 requests
4.2 MBYour homepage downloads 4.2 MB in 416 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (170), images 1.2 MB (56) and other files 900 KiB (143). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (44 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.2 g of CO₂ per visit
1.18 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.18 g of CO₂e: 141.7 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
Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)
Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)
Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
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 (11 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 11 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)

46 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: 46 passed and 7 failed. 4 mores 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 long (78 characters)
Your title is 78 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “True Bijoux - Engagement Rings, Wedding Rings & Vintage Jewellery – TrueBijoux”.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (Organization and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Bad control character in string literal in JSON at position )”.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
125 internal links, 8 external
The homepage links to 125 pages on truebijoux.ca and 8 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 149 characters
Your meta description is 149 characters: “Downtown Ottawa jewelry store. Discover our selection of engagement rings and vintage, diamond, lab grown diamond, gold…”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://truebijoux.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://truebijoux.ca/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://truebijoux.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.
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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,864 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
4 pages without a meta description
https://truebijoux.ca/collections/jewellery-earrings, https://truebijoux.ca/collections/jewellery-necklaces, https://truebijoux.ca/collections/jewelry-bracelets and https://truebijoux.ca/collections/jewellery-rings have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 52 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
8 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

34 of 36 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 trust badge. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 522 words of copy
The homepage carries about 522 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Start Shopping”.
15 calls to action
The homepage has 15 calls to action, for example “Shop All Jewelry”, “Shop All Gabriel & Co.” and “Shop All Thomas Sabo”.
4 short forms
4 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Hotjar.
Privacy and tracking
8 trackers load before any consent
8Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 3 mores (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.
20 cookies set on arrival
20Opening the homepage sets 20 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.
38 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 38 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 truebijoux.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 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
Apps your storefront loads
Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Affirm · improvedcontactform.com · tagembed.com · stamped.io · nfcube.com
