epson.ca website review

265 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.6 MB).

14 images could be 1.6 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.6 s faster on a phone.

11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.5 s.

About 238 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.5 s faster on a phone.

Your mobile performance score is 39 (desktop: 37). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Tealium, superpinkday.com and Monotype and others), adding 1,003 KiB and 871 ms of main-thread time.

About 447 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 460 ms faster on a phone.

Tealium costs a phone 508 ms of main-thread work and 138 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.

A phone's processor spends 3.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 2.3 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 275 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

The page has 2,122 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

Google CDN costs a phone 63 ms of main-thread work and 348 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.

Polyfills for old browsers add 23 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

37 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

13 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

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.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

Your largest element takes 13.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Goodbye Cartridges. Hello Savings1. Introducing Our Next Ge…”.

The page becomes fully interactive after 18.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 4.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

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

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 758 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors wait 2.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

Real visitors wait 438 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

Real visitors see the first content after 2.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

Real visitors wait 1.0 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 470 ms to 484 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.6 s to 2.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 11.0 MB in 293 requests on a phone: images 9.0 MB (113), scripts 1.5 MB (148) and stylesheets 257 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

rendition weighs 545 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

5 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example rendition at 1,800 px wide, shown at 82 px. Resized copies would save about 687 KiB.

40 images (5.2 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

2 images further down the page (321 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 3.11 g of CO₂e: 373.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

<html> element must have a valid value for the lang attribute: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

7 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

The page declares lang=“en_CA”, which is not a usable language code, so screen readers and translation tools guess.

Your title is only 23 characters: “Homepage | Epson Canada”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

Your meta description is 238 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

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

Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

The homepage links to 352 pages on epson.ca and 26 external pages.

There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

/oidc, /c/e1, /c/e3 and /c/e2 have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

Your homepage links to 3 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /c/e1, whose canonical is /Printers/c/e1. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

/exceptional-people, /engineered-precision, /environmental-pursuit, /enduring-partnerships and /careers have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

/oidc has under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.

/c/e3, /c/e2 and /accessories took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 187 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 link to other sites is dead, for example http://www.twitter.com/EpsonCanada (520).

HSTS is set, but max-age is 182 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://epson.ca/oidc.

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

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

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

epson.ca is registered until Dec 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.

epson.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.

epson.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.

Social proof on the homepage: 2 trust badges. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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 423 words of visible text.

The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

epson.ca has no DMARC record, so nothing tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF or DKIM. Gmail and Yahoo require DMARC from bulk senders.

epson.ca has no SPF record, so mail servers can't tell which servers may send email as you. Your mail lands in spam more often, and anyone can send mail pretending to be you.

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: 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.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Ads (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (OneTrust) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

Opening the homepage sets 33 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

Loading the homepage contacts 21 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
