hepha.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
3,811 HTML elements
The page has 3,811 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
Mobile performance score: 64
64/100Your mobile performance score is 64. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, loox.io and growave.io and others), adding 1.5 MB and 666 ms of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
624 KiBAbout 624 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Main-thread work: 3.6 s
A phone's processor spends 3.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.6 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Shopify adds 268 ms
268 msShopify costs a phone 268 ms of main-thread work and 868 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.
Reduce unused CSS
150 ms · 55 KiBAbout 55 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.
Render-blocking requests
200 ms5 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 200 ms.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 116 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
113 KiB14 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (113 KiB).
Improve image delivery
52 KiB1 image could be 52 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
49 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 49 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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.
Duplicated JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB JavaScript is shipped twice across bundles.
Minify JavaScript
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.8 MB in 264 requests
7.8 MBYour homepage downloads 7.8 MB in 264 requests on a phone: images 5.1 MB (51), scripts 1.5 MB (83) and other files 806 KiB (98). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image far larger than shown
89 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example OpenBank-Pay.png at 2,392 px wide, shown at 100 px. Resized copies would save about 89 KiB.
4 images below the first screen load straight away
4 images further down the page (248 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 2.2 g of CO₂ per visit
2.22 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.22 g of CO₂e: 266.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
1 checks passed
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Accessibility
9 text elements with low contrast
9 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (40 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 40 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.
3 links without text
3 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.
Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (1 element).
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 134 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
52 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 56 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 52 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (69 characters)
Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “HEPHA E-Bikes: Award-Winning Electric Bicycles for Urban and Off-Road”.
Meta description is long (217 characters)
Your meta description is 217 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
15 links with vague text
15 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
176 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 176 pages on hepha.com and 4 external pages.
5 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://hepha.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization and WebSite.
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://hepha.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
4 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.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,043 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
llms.txt published
The site publishes /llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/collections/hepha-e-bikes and /collections/hepha-ebikes all use the title “HEPHA E-bikes – HEPHA E-Bike”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages share a meta description
/collections/hepha-e-bikes and /collections/hepha-ebikes use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /collections/hepha-ebikes, whose canonical is /collections/hepha-e-bikes. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
11 pages without an H1
/collections/hepha-e-bikes, /collections/e-bike-accessories, /pages/about-hepha, /pages/urban-collection-my26, /pages/city-collection and /pages/trekking-7-new and 5 others 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 37 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
4 checks passed

2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
29 of 31 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
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 (hepha.com).
Valid certificate (30 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE1 verifies for hepha.com and is valid for another 30 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://hepha.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 44 links work
All 44 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 4 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
No CAA record
hepha.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
hepha.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 22 years old
22 yearshepha.com was registered in Jul 2004 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Registered until Jul 2027
hepha.com is registered until Jul 2027.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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 direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be hepha.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
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.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:_spf.odoo.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:mail.zendesk.com ~all”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “k2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
5 trackers load before any consent
5Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo and Meta 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.
