Speed

5 to fix72
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.8 s · 341 KiB

    About 341 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 72

    72/100

    Your mobile performance score is 72. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Render-blocking requests

    700 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 700 ms.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    600 ms · 99 KiB

    6 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (99 KiB).

  • Shopify adds 220 ms

    220 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 220 ms of main-thread work and 695 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.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, shop.app and mixlogue.jp and others), adding 753 KiB and 229 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 7 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 7 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    74 KiB

    10 images could be 74 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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: 1.8 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.8 s on main-thread work while loading, 699 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 7 ms

    7 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 7 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

3 to fix67
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Your largest element takes 8.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 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.

3 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.1 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.002

    0.002

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.002, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 0 ms

    0 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.4 MB in 229 requests

    2.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.4 MB in 229 requests on a phone: scripts 725 KiB (65), other files 693 KiB (82) and images 657 KiB (40). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    1_fbae3fbf-b093-4581-b823-569a015d45cd.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).

  • About 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.67 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.67 g of CO₂e: 80.1 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • 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

1 to fixGoogle 10098
  • Scrollable region must have keyboard access (1 element)

    Scrollable region must have keyboard access: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names.

    Elements with visible text labels do not have matching accessible names. (2 elements).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 58 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 1 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10088
  • Title is short (21 characters)

    Your title is only 21 characters: “HORAYU Japan - HORAYU”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • One H1 headline

    Your <h1> is empty.

  • 92 internal links, 2 external

    The homepage links to 92 pages on horayu.com and 2 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 77 characters

    Your meta description is 77 characters: “季節と調和したファッションを自分らしく楽しむ。四季の美しさや四季折々の情緒の魅力をお届けするジュエリー&ファッションブランド HORAYU(ホーラユー)。”.

  • Canonical URL set

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

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization, Product 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://horayu.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
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 (330 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes https://horayu.com/llms.txt (6 KiB, 8 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 12 pages without a meta description

    https://horayu.com/pages/look-book, https://horayu.com/blogs/topics, https://horayu.com/collections/seasons-collection, https://horayu.com/collections/all, https://horayu.com/collections/tops and https://horayu.com/collections/bottoms and 6 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 7 pages without an H1

    https://horayu.com/collections/tops, https://horayu.com/collections/bottoms, https://horayu.com/collections/dresses, https://horayu.com/collections/outer, https://horayu.com/collections/matching-cloth and https://horayu.com/collections/accessories and 1 other have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 10 pages with very little text

    https://horayu.com/pages/coupon, https://horayu.com/pages/about-horayu, https://horayu.com/pages/look-book, https://horayu.com/blogs/topics, https://horayu.com/collections/outer and https://horayu.com/collections/matching-cloth and 4 others have 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.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 37 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • 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.

  • Every page has a title

    All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cdn.xotiny.com/assets/shop/horayu/gallery/main.min.css?v=1748056924668' from origi…”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    26 of 27 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix50
  • 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 analytics detected

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

  • 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 162 words

    The homepage has only about 162 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.

2 checks passed
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “LOOK BOOK”.

  • 6 short forms

    6 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager 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.

  • 11 cookies set on arrival

    11

    Opening the homepage sets 11 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.

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at horayu.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.

Apps on your store

Your storefront loads 4 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Xo Gallery · Ta Labels Badges · Forms · mixlogue.jp
