wedderspoon.ca website review

About 196 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

The page has 3,106 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Your mobile performance score is 63. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

7 images could be 416 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 500 ms faster on a phone.

11 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (63 KiB).

16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 350 ms.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Accessibe Accessibility Overlay, Klaviyo and Shopify and others), adding 545 KiB and 225 ms of main-thread time.

Polyfills for old browsers add 39 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

About 12 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.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 119 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

Your largest element takes 14.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Shop Now Our Story”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 14.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 8.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

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.

Your homepage downloads 10.3 MB in 239 requests on a phone: media 7.1 MB (1), images 1.5 MB (36) and other files 735 KiB (86). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.93 g of CO₂e: 351.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

24 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 7 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

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

2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

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

Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (13 elements).

Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Wedderspoon | Mānuka Powered By Sunshine – Wedderspoon Organic Canada”.

No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 147 pages on wedderspoon.ca and 25 external pages.

https://wedderspoon.ca/customer_authentication/redirect has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://wedderspoon.ca/customer_authentication/redirect is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

https://wedderspoon.ca/collections/all and https://wedderspoon.ca/collections/all-products all use the title “All Products – Wedderspoon Organic Canada”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://wedderspoon.ca/customer_authentication/redirect has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://wedderspoon.ca/customer_authentication/redirect and https://wedderspoon.ca/blogs/the-sweet-spot have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 40 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 660 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Klaviyo (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.

Opening the homepage sets 17 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 22 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
