Speed

91
  • Render-blocking requests

    150 ms

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 150 ms.

  • Improve image delivery

    119 KiB

    7 images could be 119 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 81 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, shop.app and Google Fonts), adding 145 KiB and 25 ms of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    21 KiB

    About 21 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    10 KiB

    About 10 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    5 KiB

    3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (5 KiB).

  • 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.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 91

    91/100

    Your mobile performance score is 91. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 0.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 0.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 295 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 16 images without width and height

    16 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    2.4 s

    Your largest element renders in 2.4 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “I'm also an authorized dealer for many brands of electronic…”.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 16 ms

    16 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 16 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (39 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.45 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.45 g of CO₂e: 54.4 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: 1.6 MB in 162 requests

    1.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 162 requests on a phone: other files 750 KiB (84), images 476 KiB (34) and scripts 298 KiB (35). 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

6 to fixGoogle 8190
  • Interactive controls must not be nested (3 elements)

    Interactive controls must not be nested: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 tap targets too small

    3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • Links look like plain text

    1 link inside paragraphs relies on colour alone to stand out.

  • 15 images without alt text

    15 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • 8 links without text

    8 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h4 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 7 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9282
  • Title is short (18 characters)

    Your title is only 18 characters: “Unity Audio 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.

  • 3 H1 headlines

    There are 3 <h1> headlines (“<img src="//unityaudio.ca/cdn/shop/files/unity_lo…”, “SHOP by CATEGORY” and “Audio Enthusiast Favourites”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No favicon declared

    No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

  • 58 internal links, 5 external

    The homepage links to 58 pages on unityaudio.ca and 5 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 93 characters

    Your meta description is 93 characters: “Hand crafted audio cables and small space friendly speakers made in Ottawa, Canada's capital.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://unityaudio.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://unityaudio.ca/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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 (468 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://unityaudio.ca/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 5 pages without a meta description

    https://unityaudio.ca/collections/all, https://unityaudio.ca/collections/amplifier, https://unityaudio.ca/collections/stands-and-furniture, https://unityaudio.ca/collections/music-cds and https://unityaudio.ca/collections/cables have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 1 page with very little text

    https://unityaudio.ca/collections/stands-and-furniture has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 24 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    17 of 19 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix58
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 14 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 464 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 464 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 3 calls to action

    The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “About me/contact” and “Subscribe”.

  • 3 short forms

    3 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Pinterest Tag (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.

  • 10 cookies set on arrival

    10

    Opening the homepage sets 10 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.

  • 10 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 10 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 unityaudio.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Your storefront loads 2 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
