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
Mobile performance score: 77
77/100Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 170 KiBAbout 170 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 44 KiB2 images could be 44 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.
Google Tag Manager adds 296 ms
296 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 296 ms of main-thread work and 301 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.
WordPress adds 127 ms
127 msWordPress costs a phone 127 ms of main-thread work and 364 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.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, WordPress and cloudflare.com and others), adding 720 KiB and 471 ms of main-thread time.
3 long tasks on the main thread
3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 132 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
23 KiB2 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (23 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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 1.3 s
A phone's processor spends 1.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 438 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 48 ms
48 msYour server sent the HTML in 48 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals

Images and page weight
Page weight: 2.6 MB in 118 requests
2.6 MBYour homepage downloads 2.6 MB in 118 requests on a phone: other files 1.4 MB (8), scripts 548 KiB (55) and images 286 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit
0.74 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.74 g of CO₂e: 88.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
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.
Zoom is disabled
The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 20 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
9 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 12 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 9 passed and 3 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
264 internal links, 0 external
The homepage links to 264 pages on vape360.ca and 0 external pages.

Content and conversion
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: 15 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
Only about 33 words

No risk reducer
