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
4.7 s · 4.0 MB531 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.0 MB).
Render-blocking requests
3.5 s23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.
Reduce unused CSS
1.4 s · 227 KiBAbout 227 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.4 s faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 43
43/100Your mobile performance score is 43 (desktop: 61). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
9,395 HTML elements
The page has 9,395 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Main-thread work: 4.8 s
A phone's processor spends 4.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 823 KiBAbout 823 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
200 ms · 1.3 MB42 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Facebook and Google Maps and others), adding 2.0 MB and 1.2 s of main-thread time.
Google Tag Manager adds 659 ms
659 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 659 ms of main-thread work and 822 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.
Font display
650 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 650 ms).
Minify JavaScript
300 ms · 91 KiB91 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Minify CSS
300 ms · 34 KiB34 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Facebook adds 240 ms
240 msFacebook costs a phone 240 ms of main-thread work and 309 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.
Amplience adds 37 ms
37 msAmplience costs a phone 37 ms of main-thread work and 568 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.
17 long tasks on the main thread
17 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 238 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 10.8 s
10.8 sYour largest element takes 10.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Edge Line”.
Time to Interactive: 32.4 s
32.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 32.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 11.1 s
11.1 sVisually, the page fills in at 11.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s
4.4 sThe first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 3.7 s
3.7 sReal visitors wait 3.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.
Real-user INP: 251 ms
251 msReal visitors wait 251 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.
Tap response (INP) got 20% slower for real visitors
+20%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 170 ms to 204 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Real-user FCP: 2.8 s
2.8 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s
1.1 sReal visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
68 images without width and height
68 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Total Blocking Time: 564 ms
564 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 564 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors
-5%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.5 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
2 checks passed
Real-user CLS: 0.02
0.02For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.02 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.001
0.001The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.001, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.3 MB in 621 requests
7.3 MBYour homepage downloads 7.3 MB in 621 requests on a phone: images 4.0 MB (329), scripts 2.4 MB (196) and fonts 418 KiB (12). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
30 images below the first screen load straight away
30 images further down the page (1.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
10 images in older formats
10 images (621 KiB) 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.
3 images far larger than shown
131 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 297244_000_001.jpg at 800 px wide, shown at 140 px. Resized copies would save about 131 KiB.
About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.06 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.06 g of CO₂e: 246.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
1 button without a name
1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.
262 images without alt text
262 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
12 text elements with low contrast
12 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
264 links without text
264 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
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.
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)
Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Document should not have more than one main landmark (1 element)
Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (1 element)
Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable (1 element)
The skip-link target should exist and be focusable: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
8 form fields without a label
8 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h6), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
43 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: 43 passed and 10 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
42 links crawlers can't follow
42 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
3 H1 headlines
There are 3 <h1> headlines (“Homepage”, “SAVE UP TO 25%” and “Featured Products”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No canonical URL
No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image (also missing: og:title, og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.
1,065 internal links, 13 external
The homepage links to 1,065 pages on ufa.com and 13 external pages.
4 checks passed
Meta description: 159 characters
Your meta description is 159 characters: “UFA is Canadian owned & member operated. UFA farm stores carry animal care products, building supplies, auto parts & ac…”.
Title: 58 characters
Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “UFA – 100% Canadian Owned & Operated | Serving AB, BC & SK”.
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://ufa.com/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.
No llms.txt
There is no /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.
Opted out of AI training for 4 crawlers
robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.
2 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 (2,003 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 196 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
1 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Best practices
1 broken image
1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://secure.adnxs.com/px?id=131510&seg=32962627&redir=https%3A%2F%2Fpixel.mediaiqdigital.com%2Fpixel%3Fu1%3D[u1]%26pixel_id%3D131510%26uid%3D%24%7BUID%7D&t=2.
6 small tap targets
6 of 15 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
Deprecated browser APIs
The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).
6 JavaScript errors while loading
6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.
1 checks passed
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 28 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 1,376 words of copy
The homepage carries about 1,376 words of visible text.
6 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “SHOP NOW”.
36 calls to action
The homepage has 36 calls to action, for example “SHOP”, “Get a Quote” and “Contact Us”.
5 short forms
5 short forms (4 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
9 trackers load before any consent
9Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and LinkedIn Insight and 4 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.
21 cookies set on arrival
21Opening the homepage sets 21 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.
43 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 43 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 ufa.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
