Speed
Mobile performance score: 74
74/100Your mobile performance score is 74. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Improve image delivery
350 ms · 67 KiB1 image could be 67 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 350 ms faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
400 ms7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.
Reduce unused JavaScript
300 ms · 57 KiBAbout 57 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.
Legacy JavaScript
50 ms · 19 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 19 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
50 ms · 9 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (9 KiB).
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Cloudflare and Cloudflare CDN and others), adding 115 KiB and 41 ms of main-thread time.
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.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.6 s
A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 211 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 6.5 s
6.5 sYour largest element takes 6.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.
Time to Interactive: 6.5 s
6.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 6.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.0 s
4.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
2 images without width and height
2 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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.
3 checks passed
First Contentful Paint: 1.8 s
1.8 sThe first text or image appears after 1.8 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
lpg-home-banner.jpg is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
About 0.3 g of CO₂ per visit
0.33 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.33 g of CO₂e: 40.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
3 checks passed
Page weight: 1.2 MB in 142 requests
1.2 MBYour homepage downloads 1.2 MB in 142 requests on a phone: other files 735 KiB (83), scripts 257 KiB (36) and images 116 KiB (6). That is a lean page.
Images use modern formats
Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
4 text elements with low contrast
4 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 (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)
Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
2 links without text
2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
44 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 4 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No H1 headline

https://epochsports.com/customer_authentication/redirect, https://epochsports.com/pages/lacrosse-playground-blog, / and https://epochsports.com/pages/contact-us have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 2 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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.
Only about 57 words
The homepage has only about 57 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
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.
3 checks passed
1 call to action
The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact Information”.
1 short form
