Speed

8 to fix51
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.5 s

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 184 KiB

    9 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (184 KiB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    800 ms · 233 KiB

    About 233 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 51

    51/100

    Your mobile performance score is 51 (desktop: 58). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 134 KiB

    About 134 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Optanon, mPulse and dga.jp and others), adding 570 KiB and 571 ms of main-thread time.

  • Optanon adds 488 ms

    488 ms

    Optanon costs a phone 488 ms of main-thread work and 340 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    300 ms · 16 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 16 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • 5 long tasks on the main thread

    5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 175 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Minify CSS

    16 KiB

    16 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • 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: 1.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 696 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 6 ms

    6 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 6 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

11 to fix33
  • 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 CLS: 0.31

    0.31

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.31 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 20.1 s

    20.1 s

    Your largest element takes 20.1 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “KIOXIA Memory Maker 20th Asian Games Official Supplier”.

  • Time to Interactive: 21.4 s

    21.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 21.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.8 s

    4.8 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.3 s

    6.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.2 s

    3.2 s

    Real visitors wait 3.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.4 s

    2.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors wait 1.1 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Total Blocking Time: 368 ms

    368 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 368 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 22 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 100 ms to 98 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -5%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

2 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 105 ms

    105 ms

    Real visitors wait 105 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.072

    0.072

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.072, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

4 to fix38
  • Page weight: 5.7 MB in 81 requests

    5.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.7 MB in 81 requests on a phone: images 4.8 MB (46), scripts 672 KiB (17) and stylesheets 131 KiB (7). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 3 images over 500 KB

    3 images weigh 1.7 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 15 images in older formats

    15 images (4.6 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.

  • 8 images below the first screen load straight away

    8 images further down the page (1.4 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.60 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.60 g of CO₂e: 192.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8491
  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • 1 button without a name

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

  • Unlabelled dropdowns

    1 dropdown has no label.

  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 3 form fields without a label

    3 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (3 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor 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. (1 element).

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 49 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 53 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 48 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • 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 long (186 characters)

    Your meta description is 186 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • 104 internal links, 54 external

    The homepage links to 104 pages on kioxia.com and 54 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “KIOXIA Corporation”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “KIOXIA Corporation Home | KIOXIA - Japan (English)”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.kioxia.com/en-jp/top.html.

  • 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://www.kioxia.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.kioxia.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.

2 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.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (894 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix95
  • 1 page without a meta description

    https://www.kioxia.com/en-jp/business/ssd/document.html has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 74 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • 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

2 to fixGoogle 8191
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

  • 5 JavaScript errors while loading

    5 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Connecting to 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans&display=swap' violates the following Content Security …”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    22 of 25 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 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 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 620 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 620 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Download SSD Documents”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 cookie set on arrival

    1

    Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 9 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 9 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

2 checks passed
  • Consent tool: OneTrust

    A consent management tool (OneTrust) loads with the page.

  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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 kioxia.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
