One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Use efficient cache lifetimes
3.1 s · 3.3 MB44 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (3.3 MB).
Reduce unused JavaScript
4.7 s · 984 KiBAbout 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 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.
Mobile performance score: 42
42/100Your 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 KiBAbout 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 KiB1 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 msYouTube 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 msBold 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 msGoogle 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 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 26 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 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.

Server response: 12 ms
12 msYour server sent the HTML in 12 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 22.0 s
22.0 sYour 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 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 22.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
First Contentful Paint: 6.7 s
6.7 sThe 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 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Total Blocking Time: 564 ms
564 msScripts 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.

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0
0The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 5.6 MB in 91 requests
5.6 MBYour 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 KiB9 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 gBy 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
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
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
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 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.

Best practices
5 third-party cookies

Content and conversion
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
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before 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
5Opening 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.
Apps on your store
Your storefront loads 2 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.
