Speed

12 to fix42
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    3.1 s · 3.3 MB

    44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.3 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.7 s · 984 KiB

    About 984 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.1 s

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 42

    42/100

    Your mobile performance score is 42. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (YouTube, Bold Commerce and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 2.2 MB and 1.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    740 ms · 216 KiB

    About 216 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 740 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    800 ms · 127 KiB

    1 image could be 127 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 800 ms faster on a phone.

  • YouTube adds 471 ms

    471 ms

    YouTube costs a phone 471 ms of main-thread work and 988 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.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 342 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Bold Commerce adds 286 ms

    286 ms

    Bold Commerce costs a phone 286 ms of main-thread work and 484 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 221 ms

    221 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 221 ms of main-thread work and 309 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.

  • Main-thread work: 2.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 893 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    26 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    6 KiB

    6 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 12 ms

    12 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix51
  • Largest Contentful Paint: 22.0 s

    22.0 s

    Your largest element takes 22.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “体に嬉しいこと初めてみませんか?”.

  • Time to Interactive: 22.5 s

    22.5 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 22.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • First Contentful Paint: 6.7 s

    6.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 6.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.7 s

    8.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 564 ms

    564 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 564 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 27 images without width and height

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

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.3 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 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.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 5.6 MB in 91 requests

    5.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.6 MB in 91 requests on a phone: images 3.2 MB (31), scripts 1.8 MB (26) and fonts 286 KiB (9). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 1 image over 500 KB

    image001_1024x1024.png weighs 809 KiB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 9 images far larger than shown

    544 KiB

    9 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example AMMultEX-2.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 345 px. Resized copies would save about 544 KiB.

  • 14 images in older formats

    14 images (2.0 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.

  • 13 images below the first screen load straight away

    13 images further down the page (1.9 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.59 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.59 g of CO₂e: 190.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

4 to fixGoogle 9294
  • 72 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Hidden but focusable

    1 element hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (1 element)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 30 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 4 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 9289
  • Title is short (22 characters)

    Your title is only 22 characters: “桑茶セレクト ~ こだわりの桑の葉茶・桑青汁”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://kuwanoha.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 86 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 86 pages on kuwanoha.com and 0 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 104 characters

    Your meta description is 104 characters: “厳選したオススメの桑茶や桑青汁を扱う桑専門店の桑茶セレクト。桑の葉は栄養豊富でダイエットやアンチエイジング、リラックスなど体の内側から健康・キレイをサポート。こだわりぬいた安心・安全な桑の葉茶をお試しください”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “.site-header__logo-image { height: 45px; }”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://kuwanoha.com/index.html.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization 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.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (3 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • 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.

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

Other pages

3 to fix75
  • 3 pages without a title

    /products/kobashitaste.html, /products/ryokuchataste.html and /products/maroyakataste.html have no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

  • 7 pages without a meta description

    /products/kobashitaste.html, /products/ryokuchataste.html, /products/maroyakataste.html, /blogs/column.html, /blogs/recipe.html and /blogs/review.html and 1 other have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 3 pages without an H1

    /products/kobashitaste.html, /products/ryokuchataste.html and /products/maroyakataste.html have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 12 pages with very little text

    /products/kobashitaste-large.html, /pages/muberry-leaf-powder.html, /products/matchataste.html, /products/kuwanohasoap.html, /products/amm-ult-ex.html and /pages/guide.html and 6 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.

  • 6 pages slow to respond

    /products/ryokuchataste.html, /products/maroyakataste.html, /pages/concept.html, /blogs/column.html, /blogs/recipe.html and /blogs/review.html took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 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.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 7391
  • 5 third-party cookies

    5 third-party cookies are set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 2 JavaScript errors while loading

    2 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Cookie”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    16 of 17 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

4 to fix57
  • 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.

  • Only about 161 words

    The homepage has only about 161 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
  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “CONTACTお問合せ” and “CONTACT”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 5 cookies set on arrival

    5

    Opening the homepage sets 5 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (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.

  • 17 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 17 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 kuwanoha.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
