Speed

8 to fix51
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.5 s · 4.1 MB

    59 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (4.1 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    2.4 s

    28 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 2.4 s.

  • Font display

    1.3 s

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.3 s).

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 76). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 4 third-party services on the page

    4 third-party services load with your homepage (bizris.com, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics and others), adding 393 KiB and 632 ms of main-thread time.

  • 4 long tasks on the main thread

    4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 599 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • bizris.com adds 469 ms

    469 ms

    bizris.com costs a phone 469 ms of main-thread work and 197 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.

  • Improve image delivery

    471 KiB

    11 images could be 471 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    160 ms · 50 KiB

    About 50 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 160 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    92 KiB

    About 92 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Phones get a much slower page than desktops

    Desktop scores 76 but mobile only 51. A gap that wide usually means heavy scripts and images that hit phones hardest.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    6 KiB

    6 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Minify CSS

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.5 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.5 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.0 s of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 1 ms

    1 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 1 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 to fix0
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user FCP: 4.9 s

    4.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 4.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.792

    0.792

    The layout shifts by 0.792 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Time to Interactive: 9.7 s

    9.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 9.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 7.1 s

    7.1 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.1 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 4.2 s

    4.2 s

    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.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.22

    0.22

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.22 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 2.8 s

    2.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 1 image without width and height

    1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Tap response (INP) got 15% slower for real visitors

    +15%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 132 ms to 149 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.7 s to 2.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

1 checks passed
  • Total Blocking Time: 59 ms

    59 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 59 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

2 to fix63
  • Page weight: 4.5 MB in 83 requests

    4.5 MB

    Your homepage downloads 4.5 MB in 83 requests on a phone: fonts 3.2 MB (2), images 789 KiB (21) and scripts 386 KiB (26). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 10 images below the first screen load straight away

    10 images further down the page (534 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.3 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.27 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.27 g of CO₂e: 152.5 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

10 to fixGoogle 8386
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 1 button without a name

    1 button has no accessible name, so screen readers announce just “button”.

  • 3 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links must have discernible text (1 element)

    Links must have discernible text: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (10 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 10 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 13 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 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 9 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

8 to fixGoogle 8364
  • No H1 headline

    There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

  • Title is short (9 characters)

    Your title is only 9 characters: “TOP | IIJ”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 44 links crawlers can't follow

    44 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • Meta description is short (10 characters)

    Your meta description is only 10 characters: “【英新】IIJweb”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.iij.ad.jp/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at iij.ad.jp/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 35 internal links, 11 external

    The homepage links to 35 pages on iij.com and 11 external pages.

2 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.iij.ad.jp/en/.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

AI search readiness

2 to fix75
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • Some text only appears after JavaScript runs

    40%

    The HTML your server sends has 201 of the 497 words a browser shows. AI crawlers don't run JavaScript, so they miss the rest.

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 3 pages share a meta description

    /en/svcsol, /en/svcsol/category/mobile and /en/svcsol/case use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 3 pages with very little text

    /en/svcsol, /en/personal and /en/ir/ir-event 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 28 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • 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 8197
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Synchronous `XMLHttpRequest` on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to…”).

3 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    50 of 50 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Security and trust

1 to fix92
  • No Content-Security-Policy

    No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • HTTP/1.1 only

    The server only offers HTTP/1.1, so browsers open several connections and load files more slowly. Most hosts and CDNs turn on HTTP/2 with a setting.

  • 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.

  • No security.txt

    There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.

5 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (iij.ad.jp).

  • Valid certificate (130 days left)

    The certificate from Cybertrust Japan Co., Ltd. · Cybertrust Japan SureServer CA G4 verifies for iij.com and is valid for another 130 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • HSTS enabled

    Strict-Transport-Security is set, so browsers always use https.

  • All 39 links work

    All 39 links checked from your homepage (28 internal, 11 external) answered without errors.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    ad.jp 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.

Content and conversion

3 to fix60
  • 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.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 497 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 497 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact”.

  • 1 call to action

    The homepage has 1 call to action, for example “Contact”.

Email authentication

1 to fix75
  • No DKIM key on the usual selectors

    We found no DKIM key on the selectors the big email providers use. If you send through one of them, turning on DKIM signing improves delivery.

  • Email authentication score: 75/100

    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
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 ip4:216.98.98.186 ip4:206.132.175.142 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.securemx.jp ~all”.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 2 trackers load before any consent

    2

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

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 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.

  • 6 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
