epocheyewear.com website review

Not measured in this review.

• Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

  -3%

  Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 101 ms to 103 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

• Page weight: 3.3 MB

  3.3 MB

  Your homepage downloads 3.3 MB on a phone, 898 KiB of it images (27%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

• 2 images far larger than shown

  173 KiB

  2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Fishing-Hero.jpg at 1,418 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 173 KiB.

• About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

  0.93 g

  By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.93 g of CO₂e: 111.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

• 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.

  Elements (3)

• 2 tap targets too small

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

  Elements (2)

• 1 image without alt text

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

• All page content should be contained by landmarks (2 elements)

  All page content should be contained by landmarks: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  Elements (2)

• 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.

  Elements (1)

• 1 form field without a label

  1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  View source

• Headings skip levels

  Headings skip levels (h2 → h5 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

  View sourceElements (1)

• Title is long (79 characters)

  Your title is 79 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Explore Sunglasses for Men & Women | Polarized & Sports Eyewear – Epoch Eyewear”.

  View source

• Meta description is long (268 characters)

  Your meta description is 268 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  View source

• One H1 headline

  Your <h1> is empty.

  View source

• 118 internal links, 6 external

  The homepage links to 118 pages on epocheyewear.com and 6 external pages.

• 1 linked page hidden from search

  /pages/wholesale is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  Elements (1)

• 3 pages share a title

  /products/murphy-cody, /products/murphy-calhoun-polarized and /products/murphy-lapeer-polarized all use the title “Murphy (Epoch 11) | Epoch Eyewear”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  Elements (3)

• 9 pages share a meta description

  /collections/all, /policies/shipping-policy, /collections, /pages/about-epoch-eyewear, /blogs/news and /pages/ambassadors use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

• 4 pages without an H1

  /pages/about-epoch-eyewear, /pages/reviews, /pages/wholesale and /pages/faq have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

• 15 internal pages checked

  We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 44 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

• 24 small tap targets

  24 of 56 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

• 2 JavaScript errors while loading

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

• Short HSTS lifetime

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

• 1 link through redirect chains

  1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://epocheyewear.com/customer_authentication/redirect?locale=en&region_country=US.

• 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.

• No CAA record

  epocheyewear.com 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

  epocheyewear.com'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.

• No social proof

  No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

• No analytics detected

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

• No direct contact details

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

• About 461 words of copy

  The homepage carries about 461 words of visible text.

• 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: 80/100

  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.

• 5 trackers load before any consent

  5

• 16 cookies set on arrival

  16

  Opening the homepage sets 16 cookies (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.
