https://www.thefixvelodrome.ca/the-fix-remote:
- Consider changing to something more intuitive like /coffee-trailer or /mobile-cafe for better keyword alignment

INTERNAL LINKING:
- The navigation menu (Book Your Service, Coffee trailer, Bike Rentals, Ironman Muskoka) is present across all pages, ensuring users can move freely through key sections:

- The homepage includes direct links to major pages like “Book Your Service,” “Coffee Trailer”, and “Bike Rentals”.

- No critical internal links are missing. Users can always navigate between main service pages and the homepage.

Verdict: Internal linking is well-implemented; no issues found.


VISUAL & CONTENT ENHANCEMENTS:
1. Change footer date from 2021 to either "2025" (to reflect the current year) or "2021-2025" (to reflect company's active years)

2. Add more dynamic visuals or interactive elements to the homepage (like bold CTA's, engaging imagery, or even subtle animations) to make the page feel more exciting or engaging.

3. Incorporate punchy headlines and compelling copy that immediately draws the user in.

4. Highlight differentiators in a way that stands out – think: "Why should someone choose The Fix over a competitor?" For example, incorporate company reviews.

5. Incorporate a more dynamic and eye-catching background, while keeping it consistent with the brand.

PAGE SPEED:
The Fix Velodrome website performs well in some technical areas but shows poor overall speed performance. Using Google’s PageSpeed Insights, the site scored:
- Desktop performance: 15/100
- Mobile performance: 25/100

Although the first Contentful Paint is quick (0.5s), the Largest Contentful Paint is slow at 4.7s, and the Cumulative Layout Shift is high (0.801), indicating visual instability during loading. The Total Blocking Time is also high (1,390 ms), which can delay interactivity.

Recommendations:
- Reducing unused JavaScript and CSS
- Minimizing main-thread work
- Preloading important images
- Serving images in next-gen formats (e.g., WebP)
- Improving layout stability


MOBILE USABILITY:
A lighthouse audit was run in mobile mode. While the site scored 37 in mobile Performance, it excelled in Accessibility (97), Best Practices (93), and SEO (91). This indicates the mobile version is well-structured and follows best practices, but still suffers from slow load times.

Recommendations:
- Reduce unused JavaScript
- Optimize image sizes
- Minimize render-blocking resources
- Improve load time for key content


SITEMAP:
The site has a valid sitemap at thefixvelodrome.ca/sitemap.xml, listing key pages like the homepage, booking, and service sections. It includes update frequencies and last modified dates, which help search engines crawl the site efficiently.

Recommendations:
- Submit the sitemap to Google Search Console (If not already done).
- Ensure all key pages, including blogs or products, are included.

INDEXING & CRAWLABILITY (SCREAMING FROG):
HIGH PRIORITY:
1. Links: Pages Without Internal Outlinks
Fix: Add relevant internal links from that page to other important pages on site.

MEDIUM PRIORITY:
1. H1 is missing
Fix: Add a clear, relevant H1 tag that accurately describes the page's main topic.

2. Canonicals Missing
Fix: Add canonical tag to section of page pointing to the preferred URL version.

3. Low Content Pages
Fix: Expand the page with high-quality, relevant, and original information. Think about answering common questions, adding visuals, or including step-by-step instructions.

LOW PRIORITY:
1. Security: Missing X-Frame-Options Header
Fix: Add the X-Frame-Options header to your HTTP response to prevent your site from being embedded in an iframe by potentially malicious sites (a clickjacking prevention measure)

2. Missing HSTS Header
Fix: Add the Strict-Transport-Security header to force browsers to always use HTTPS for your site, preventing protocol downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.

3. Missing Secure Referrer-Policy
Fix: Add the Referrer-Policy header to control how much referrer information is shared when users navigate away from your site, protecting user privacy and security.

4. Missing Content-Security-Policy
Fix: Add CSP header to reduce XSS (cross-site scripting) and other injection attacks.

5. Missing X-Content-Type-Options
Fix: Add the X-Content-Type-Options header with the value nosniff to prevent browsers from interpreting files as a different MIME type (a common security risk)

6. H2: Missing
Fix: Add at least one subheader to break up content, improve readability, and help search engines understand the structure of the page.

CORE WEB VITALS:
The site underperforms across all three Core Web Vitals, including weak user experience:

- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP):
Measured at 4.7s (target is <2.5s), suggesting slow loading of key visual elements.

- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS):
Scored 0.801 (target is <0.1), indicating unstable layout during load.

- Total Blocking Time (TBT):
At 1,390 ms (ideal <200ms), pointing to delayed interactivity due to script-heavy pages.

Recommendations:
- Defer or reduce unused JavaScript
- Optimize and compress images
- Inline critical CSS
- Use font-display: swap
- Reserve space for images to avoid layout shifts

BACKLINK BUILDING STRATEGY:

1. Local and Niche Directory Listings: Submit the website to relevant business directories in the cycling, fitness, and event industries, as well as regional Ontario directories to boost local SEO and attract backlinks.

2. Event Coverage and Press Mentions: Reach out to local media, cycling blogs, or community news outlets for coverage of pop-up or events. This can generate high-quality backlinks and raise awareness.

3. Influencer and Partner Collaboration: Collaborate with cycling influencers, local athletes, or wellness bloggers who can feature the brand on their platforms with backlinks to the site.

4. Resource and Sponsorship Pages: Get listed on sponsorship or partnership pages of events, clubs, or organizations the brand supports and collaborates with.

5. Guest Content for Cycling Blogs: Contribute expert tips, mobile gear insights, or industry commentary to niche cycling websites that accept guest posts.


DOMAIN AUTHROITY:
Thefixvelodrome.ca has a Domain Authority score of 7 out of 100 and a Page Authority score of 12 out of 100, based on data from SEO Review Tools. These low scores indicate limited visibility and trust in search engines, suggesting a need to strengthen the site's authority.

Recommendations:
- Acquire backlinks from reputable, industry-relevant websites
- Publish high-quality, shareable content (e.g., blog posts, event recaps, local features)
- Get listed in local business directories and cycling-related communities
- Encourage mentions from partner brands or news sources

SOCIAL SIGNALS:
3 recommended social media platforms:
- Instagram, Facebook, Youtube

Instagram:
Instagram can help showcase the velodrome’s atmosphere, highlight the athletes, and promote events through visual storytelling. Strategic posting can attract a local cycling audience and drive attendance to races and pop-up events.

Facebook:
Facebook can be used to share event updates, gather reviews, and connect with the community. Using Facebook Events and local tagging can boost visibility among nearby sports fans and families.

Youtube:
Youtube is a strong platform for publishing race recaps, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage. This content can build interest, reinforce brand identity, and reach cycling fans beyond the local area.


BRAND MENTIONS:
- Instagram & Facebook snippets referencing the shop and mobile espresso trailer
- Reddit praise from local cyclists: “Prices are fair, service is thorough, and coffee is good!”
- Event listings highlighting their mobile pop-up venues like Summit Station Dairy
- Yelp mention confirming the presence for The Fix Coffee + Bikes

Recommendation:
- Reach out to mentioners (e.g., Reddit posters, event hosts, Yelp users) and encourage them to add a link to The Fix Velodrome’s website. Converting these unlinked mentions into linked mentions adds credibility and improves SEO.
