Images and page weight
Page weight: 3.2 MB
3.2 MBYour homepage downloads 3.2 MB on a phone, 964 KiB of it images (29%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
2 images far larger than shown
156 KiB2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Kids-Grid-F26.jpg at 1,500 px wide, shown at 360 px. Resized copies would save about 156 KiB.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (426 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit
0.92 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.92 g of CO₂e: 110.1 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
Summary elements must have discernible text (1 element)
Summary elements must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
1 link without text
1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 219 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 50 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 2 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
2 H1 headlines
There are 2 <h1> headlines (“A CHANGE OF PACE” and “A CHANGE OF PACE”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No XML sitemap
No XML sitemap at https://huk.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.
283 internal links, 18 external
The homepage links to 283 pages on huk.com and 18 external pages.
5 checks passed
Meta description: 149 characters
Your meta description is 149 characters: “Huk offers innovative performance fishing apparel and clothing. Shop quality shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and accesso…”.
Title: 51 characters

Canonical URL set

Structured data in place
Structured data found: Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place and points crawlers to your sitemap.
AI search readiness
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.
3 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 (1,482 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
3 pages without a meta description
/collections/kids-new-arrivals, /pages/storm-haul-system and /collections/mens-best-sellers have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
1 page without an H1
/pages/rewards has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
3 pages slow to respond
/pages/our-story, /pages/contact-us and /collections/mens-new-arrivals took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 125 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed

11 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

Best practices
6 JavaScript errors while loading
6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Error sending user session Error: Shopify session id is missing”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
34 of 35 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 (huk.com).
Valid certificate (79 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YE2 verifies for huk.com and is valid for another 79 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://huk.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 49 links work
All 49 links checked from your homepage (40 internal, 9 external) answered without errors; 18 did not answer within 5 s.
Domain and trust
Domain registration has expired
huk.com is registered until Nov 2026. If it lapses, the site and its email stop working and someone else can buy the name. Renew it, and turn on auto-renew.
No CAA record
huk.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
huk.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.
1 checks passed
Domain is 29 years old
29 yearshuk.com was registered in Nov 1996 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Content and conversion
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.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 440 words of copy
The homepage carries about 440 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 FALL FLEECE” and “SHOP MEN'S BEST SELLERS”.
13 calls to action
The homepage has 13 calls to action, for example “Shop By Fishing”, “Contact Us” and “SHOP FALL FLEECE”.
1 short form
A short form (0 fields at most) is right on the homepage.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Microsoft Clarity.
Email authentication
Email authentication score: 90/100
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.
3 checks passed
DMARC policy: quarantine
DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.
SPF with a strict ending (-all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and tells receivers to reject anything else: “v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.ess.barracudanetworks.com include:mailgun.org include:amazonses.c…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking

13 cookies set on arrival
13Opening the homepage sets 13 cookies, 1 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
