Render-blocking requests
1.1 s1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 1.1 s.
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.

Not enough real-visitor data yet
Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

Images and page weight
About 0.05 g of CO₂ per visit
0.05 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.05 g of CO₂e: 5.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
4 checks passed
Page weight: 177 KiB in 10 requests
177 KiBYour homepage downloads 177 KiB in 10 requests on a phone: fonts 103 KiB (5), images 47 KiB (2) and HTML 11 KiB (1). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (4 elements)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.
3 text elements with low contrast
3 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 12 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
42 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 44 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 2 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

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://www.wecompete.ca/sitemap-index.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.wecompete.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: 6 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (436 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 linked pages hidden from search
https://www.wecompete.ca/portal, https://www.wecompete.ca/report and https://www.wecompete.ca/newsletters/2026-10 are marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If they are meant to be found, remove the noindex.
1 page without a meta description
https://www.wecompete.ca/newsletters/2026-10 has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
https://www.wecompete.ca/newsletters/2026-10 has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
2 pages with very little text
https://www.wecompete.ca/sponsors and https://www.wecompete.ca/contact have 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.

Mobile viewport set

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.
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
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.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
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 395 words of copy
The homepage carries about 395 words of visible text.
2 checks passed
3 calls to action
The homepage has 3 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Contact Us”.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Privacy and tracking
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.
1 checks passed
No known trackers before consent
No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).
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 wecompete.ca, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
