Speed

9 to fix81
  • Main-thread work: 4.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 4.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.8 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Improve image delivery

    3.1 MB

    37 images could be 3.1 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Affirm and others), adding 7.6 MB and 855 ms of main-thread time.

  • Mobile performance score: 81

    81/100

    Your mobile performance score is 81. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Shopify adds 75 ms

    75 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 75 ms of main-thread work and 6.4 MB 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.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    475 KiB

    About 475 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • 2,475 HTML elements

    The page has 2,475 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 216 ms

    216 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 216 ms of main-thread work and 321 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.

  • Klaviyo adds 125 ms

    125 ms

    Klaviyo costs a phone 125 ms of main-thread work and 319 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    236 KiB

    15 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (236 KiB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    200 ms

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 129 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    25 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 25 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    23 KiB

    About 23 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

  • Duplicated JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    4 KiB

    4 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

  • Tap response (INP) got 34% slower for real visitors

    +34%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 105 ms to 136 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

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

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Your largest element takes 2.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “The Fall Savings Event is here! Shop up to 30% Off”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.5 s).

  • Total Blocking Time: 206 ms

    206 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 206 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Passes Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)).

  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

  • Real-user FCP: 0.8 s

    0.8 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 0.8 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

Images and page weight

3 to fix43
  • Page weight: 13.3 MB in 349 requests

    13.3 MB

    Your homepage downloads 13.3 MB in 349 requests on a phone: media 6.2 MB (5), images 4.2 MB (73) and scripts 1.6 MB (93). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 5 images far larger than shown

    516 KiB

    5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Ash_Gray_Wood_Sample.jpg at 2,000 px wide, shown at 22 px. Resized copies would save about 516 KiB.

  • 10 images below the first screen load straight away

    10 images further down the page (488 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 3.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    3.76 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.76 g of CO₂e: 451.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8191
  • Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children (1 element)

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

  • Orphan list items

    Some list items are not inside a list.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 4 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 4 links without text

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

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (3 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 106 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 45 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: 45 passed and 8 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

3 to fixGoogle 9288
  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“Fall Savings Event Up to 30% Off” and “Fall Savings Event Up to 30% Off”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • Meta description is long (164 characters)

    Your meta description is 164 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 17 links crawlers can't follow

    17 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • 201 internal links, 10 external

    The homepage links to 201 pages on yardistrystructures.ca and 10 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Title: 59 characters

    Your title is a healthy 59 characters: “Backyard Products & Outdoor Shade Structures | Yardistry CA”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://yardistrystructures.ca/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.

  • 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://yardistrystructures.ca/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
4 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 (978 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

100
  • 8 pages slow to respond

    /collections/pavilions, /collections/carport-pavilions, /collections/outdoor-bars, /collections/louvered-pergolas, /collections/greenhouse-accessories and /collections/accessories and 2 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 65 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 19 small tap targets

    19 of 48 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 91 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • No Referrer-Policy

    No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

7 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (yardistrystructures.ca).

  • Valid certificate (75 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for yardistrystructures.ca and is valid for another 75 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://yardistrystructures.ca redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 48 links work

    All 48 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 8 external) answered without errors; 4 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    yardistrystructures.ca has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    yardistrystructures.ca's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 17 years old

    17 years

    yardistrystructures.ca was registered in Nov 2008 through Tucows.com Co.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Nov 2027

    yardistrystructures.ca is registered until Nov 2027.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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: 16 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 706 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 706 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”.

  • 38 calls to action

    The homepage has 38 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “SHOP NOW” and “shop all”.

  • 40 short forms

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

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 2 phone links and 2 email links.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

Email authentication

2 to fix65
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be yardistrystructures.ca is still delivered. Add a report address, check the reports, then move to quarantine.

  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 65/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

1 checks passed
  • SPF with a strict ending (-all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:mail.zendesk.com -all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta Pixel and 3 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.

  • 22 cookies set on arrival

    22

    Opening the homepage sets 22 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 37 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 37 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 6 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

None of the apps your storefront loads is on the list of apps with a known security problem.

Apps your storefront loads

Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Gsc Countdown Timer · Microsoft Clarity · Instafeed · Avada Cookie Bar · bazaarvoice.com
