Speed

5 to fix77
  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • 7,927 HTML elements

    The page has 7,927 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 77

    77/100

    Your mobile performance score is 77. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    450 ms · 91 KiB

    About 91 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

  • Shopify adds 24 ms

    24 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 24 ms of main-thread work and 323 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    200 ms · 69 KiB

    5 images could be 69 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 200 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    150 ms · 36 KiB

    About 36 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google CDN and shop.app), adding 361 KiB and 41 ms of main-thread time.

  • 2 long tasks on the main thread

    2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 68 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    13 KiB

    13 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    6 KiB

    4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (6 KiB).

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 2.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 470 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 11 ms

    11 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 11 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix70
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Your largest element takes 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Family Favorites, Shipped Same Day Direct from Manufacturer…”.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 50% slower for real visitors

    +50%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.0 s to 2.8 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Time to Interactive: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

4 checks passed
  • Speed Index: 3.3 s

    3.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 3.3 s (Speed Index), inside the 3.4 s “good” threshold.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.2 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 20 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.53 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.53 g of CO₂e: 63.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.9 MB in 184 requests

    1.9 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.9 MB in 184 requests on a phone: other files 828 KiB (108), scripts 364 KiB (49) and images 312 KiB (15). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

8 to fixGoogle 8390
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 18 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links must have discernible text (2 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

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

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (1 element)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 1 element on the page fails 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 189 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 48 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 55 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 7 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

Google 100100
  • 559 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 559 pages on epssource.com and 8 external pages.

8 checks passed
  • Meta description: 133 characters

    Your meta description is 133 characters: “Over 4000 items ready to ship same day to your door step. Shop food items, fresh groceries, wholesale bulk items, cloth…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Family Favorites, Shipped Same Day”.

  • Title: 55 characters

    Your title is a healthy 55 characters: “Groceries and Home Goods Same Day Delivery – EPS Source”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://epssource.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: BreadcrumbList.

  • 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://epssource.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    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.

  • No llms.txt

    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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (4,089 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 169 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    8 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

Best practices

Google 96100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    396 of 410 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • 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 (epssource.com).

  • Valid certificate (57 days left)

    The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for epssource.com and is valid for another 57 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://epssource.com 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 45 links work

    All 45 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 5 external) answered without errors; 1 did not answer within 5 s.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    epssource.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

    epssource.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.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 2 years old

    2 years

    epssource.com was registered in May 2024 through Tucows Domains Inc.. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until May 2027

    epssource.com is registered until May 2027.

Content and conversion

3 to fix79
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 148 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • A 8-field form

    Your longest form asks for 8 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.

  • About 3,658 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 3,658 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Fruits & Vegetables” and “Shop Our Dinner Specials”.

  • 13 calls to action

    The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “[email protected]”, “Shop our products” and “Shop Fruits & Vegetables”.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 1 email link.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Email authentication

2 to fix60
  • DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)

    DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be epssource.com 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: 60/100

    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 in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.hostedemail.com ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Tag Manager, Pinterest Tag and TikTok Pixel (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.

  • 9 cookies set on arrival

    9

    Opening the homepage sets 9 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.

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
