notsoepic.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 85. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

7 images could be 185 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 400 ms.

A phone's processor spends 2.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 607 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

Shopify costs a phone 48 ms of main-thread work and 512 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.

About 243 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 106 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify and shop.app), adding 517 KiB and 48 ms of main-thread time.

5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (11 KiB).

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.

2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

Your largest element takes 4.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

The page becomes fully interactive after 6.0 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

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.

CC6B5962-9D82-4E5D-ABA2-17B3F9EE5E73.png 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).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.55 g of CO₂e: 66.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

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

Headings should not be empty: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated minor by axe-core.

Your title is only 22 characters: “Not So Epic Adventurer”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

Your meta description is 309 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Your <h1> is empty.

The homepage links to 45 pages on notsoepic.com and 7 external pages.

There is no https://notsoepic.com/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.

https://notsoepic.com/pages/contact, https://notsoepic.com/policies/shipping-policy and https://notsoepic.com/policies/privacy-policy have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://notsoepic.com/pages/contact 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.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 17 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

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 testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

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.

The homepage has only about 189 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads 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.

Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 7 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
