- Provide all descriptive information about a link within the anchor itself as the title attribute is not used by screen readers. (read more)
- Make sure that all the pages of this website include a meta description. If you don't include one, Google will choose a sample of text from the page to appear in the search engine result. By including a meta description, you can control how your search engine result will appear. (read more)
Twitter0.0

- This website did not contain a link to Twitter.
- Sign up for a Twitter account and make sure it is linked to from your site.
Page titles0.0
0% of pages have defined titles
0% of page titles are weak
- No pages specify a title. Page titles appear in search results and at the top of the browser's window when visiting the site. Appropriate page titles are particularly important for search engine optimisation.
Internal links0.0
- Additional information has been provided for 2 links by using a title attribute. There is a common misconception that this benefits screen reader users. All useful text should be in the anchor itself.
- Provide all descriptive information about a link within the anchor itself as the title attribute is not used by screen readers.
Weak title text

- Provide all descriptive information about a link within the anchor itself as the title attribute is not used by screen readers.
- 22 links have no text describing their destination. Links on a page should describe their destination for the benefit of both screen readers and search engine spiders.
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.
Empty link text
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.

Server behavior4.0
404 page
Compression
- This website does not return a 404 error HTTP status code for missing pages. This is bad because search engines like Google might mistake this for a real page of content.
- Ensure your web server returns a 404 HTTP status code for error pages.
- This website was not served using GZIP encoding. GZIP compression is widely supported and reduces the load time of a web page.
- Enable GZIP compression on your web server or in your application.
- This website returns page content with or without a trailing slash on the URLs. Search engines might see these as separate pages with duplicate content which they could penalise for.
- Use a 301 redirect or a canonical meta tag to force search engines to see the correct version.
- This website follows the best practice of using a permanent (HTTP 301) redirect from http://www.canolaperformancetrials.ca to http://canolaperformancetrials.ca. This is ideal.
Amount of content7.8
Rendering Chart...
- This website has an average of 1,571 words per page. The amount of content on a website has been shown to correlate with its search engine ranking.
Amount of content discovered
| Page | Characters | Words |
| canolaperformancetrials.ca/ | 2324 | 349 |
| canolaperformancetrials.ca/contact-us | 244 | 31 |
| canolaperformancetrials.ca/trial-protocol | 33052 | 5095 |
| canolaperformancetrials.ca/?searchtype=compare | 4870 | 810 |
URL format8.5
1 URLs are less than ideal
- 1 URLs are 'dirty'. 'Dirty' URLs include one or more parameters after a question mark (e.g. www.example.com/?pagename=news), instead of a clean URL (e.g. www.example.com/news). Dirty URLs should generally be avoided wherever possible - they are almost impossible for human beings to remember, may expose the technology of the website to hackers and can confuse search engines among other problems. Their use is sometimes necessary for specific applications, and acceptable in small amounts.
- Remove or reduce the number of query parameters in URLs. Consider URL rewriting as an effective and transparent means of creating appropriate URLs.
Mobile10.0
- All of this website appears to be optimised for viewing on a mobile phone or a tablet.
