Speed

15 to fix37
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    4.2 s · 2.1 MB

    About 2.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.4 s · 1.3 MB

    53 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.3 MB).

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.9 s

    11 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

  • Mobile performance score: 37

    37/100

    Your mobile performance score is 37. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Main-thread work: 8.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 8.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 3,856 HTML elements

    The page has 3,856 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Yotpo and Shopify and others), adding 3.9 MB and 1.6 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    600 ms · 1,014 KiB

    12 images could be 1,014 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    600 ms · 213 KiB

    About 213 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 493 ms

    493 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 493 ms of main-thread work and 1,004 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.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 557 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Yotpo adds 317 ms

    317 ms

    Yotpo costs a phone 317 ms of main-thread work and 837 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    300 ms · 75 KiB

    75 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • Shopify adds 281 ms

    281 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 281 ms of main-thread work and 832 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.

  • Bold Commerce adds 177 ms

    177 ms

    Bold Commerce costs a phone 177 ms of main-thread work and 485 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

    65 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 65 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify CSS

    15 KiB

    15 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: 19 ms

    19 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 19 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 19.4 s

    19.4 s

    Your largest element takes 19.4 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 41.4 s

    41.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 41.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 12.7 s

    12.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 12.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 1.3 s in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user INP: 206 ms

    206 ms

    Real visitors wait 206 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.11

    0.11

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.11 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Tap response (INP) got 25% slower for real visitors

    +25%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 298 ms to 369 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) got 25% slower for real visitors

    +25%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • 25 images without width and height

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

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.118

    0.118

    The layout shifts by 0.118 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

4 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors wait 1.9 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.4 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 420 ms

    420 ms

    Real visitors wait 420 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • First Contentful Paint: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.4 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

Images and page weight

4 to fix31
  • Page weight: 8.4 MB in 385 requests

    8.4 MB

    Your homepage downloads 8.4 MB in 385 requests on a phone: scripts 4.4 MB (149), images 2.0 MB (60) and other files 1.1 MB (129). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images far larger than shown

    733 KiB

    8 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 4550723417099_06_org_1350x.jpg at 1,350 px wide, shown at 180 px. Resized copies would save about 733 KiB.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    main_banner3_mobile.gif 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).

  • 2 images in older formats

    2 images (496 KiB) 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.

  • About 2.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    2.38 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.38 g of CO₂e: 285.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

12 to fixGoogle 7385
  • 1 button without a name

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

  • 8 tap targets too small

    8 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (2 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • ARIA tooltip nodes must have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA tooltip nodes must have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 1 text element with low contrast

    1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

  • 12 images without alt text

    12 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Invalid ARIA attributes

    6 elements use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (5 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

  • 1 link without text

    1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

1 checks passed
  • 50 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 60 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 50 passed and 10 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

1 to fixGoogle 9290
  • No H1 headline

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

  • 614 internal links, 8 external

    The homepage links to 614 pages on muji.us and 8 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 158 characters

    Your meta description is 158 characters: “The official site for MUJI USA, Ltd. Shop for home décor, furniture, clothing, and more! Receive 10% off your first ord…”.

  • Title: 50 characters

    Your title is a healthy 50 characters: “MUJI USA | Home Goods | Apparel | Stationery Store”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.muji.us/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: 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://www.muji.us/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.

3 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 (1,943 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 4 pages without a meta description

    https://www.muji.us/collections/select-luggage-sale, https://www.muji.us/collections/shirt-sale, https://www.muji.us/collections/home-appliances-sale and https://www.muji.us/collections/home-fabrics-sale have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 15 pages without an H1

    https://www.muji.us/collections/limited-time-offers, https://www.muji.us/collections/skirt-pants, https://www.muji.us/collections/flannel, https://www.muji.us/collections/winter-accessories, https://www.muji.us/collections/select-luggage-sale and https://www.muji.us/products/body-fit-cushion and 9 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 173 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

6 to fixGoogle 4668
  • 10 broken images

    10 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://cdn-yotpo-images-production.yotpo.com/Product/251017706/254124396/square.jpg?1741805746.

  • 11 small tap targets

    11 of 49 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 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.”).

  • 1 third-party cookie

    1 third-party cookie is set on load; browsers are restricting these, so whatever relies on them breaks.

  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET”.

  • 1 distorted image

    1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

  • 1 low-resolution image

    1 image is served at too low a resolution for sharp phone screens.

  • Browser-reported issues

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

1 to fix92
  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 1 testimonial or review block. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • 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 755 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 755 words of visible text.

  • Urgency cues

    The page uses urgency cues (a countdown or limited-time wording).

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop Now” and “Shop Tableware”.

  • 11 calls to action

    The homepage has 11 calls to action, for example “MUJI Food Market: Order Pickup Today!”, “Shop Tableware” and “Shop Women's”.

  • 4 short forms

    4 short forms (2 fields at most) are right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Hotjar.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 6 trackers load before any consent

    6

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar and Klaviyo and 1 more (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.

  • 26 cookies set on arrival

    26

    Opening the homepage sets 26 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.

  • 66 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 66 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 muji.us, 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 24 apps. Each one is code from another company running for your shoppers.

Apps your storefront loads

Logrocket · Klaviyo Email Marketing Sms · Selly Promotion Pricing · Triplewhale · Marqo · Starapps Variant Image · Minmaxify Order Limits · Yotpo Loyalty Rewards · Yotpo Product Reviews · Analyzify Ga4 Ads Tracking · Postscript Sms Marketing · Wunderkind · Warnify Pro Warnings · Multifeeds · Gorgias Live Chat Helpdesk · Product Warnings · Announcement Bar With Slider · Test Sms · Watchlist · Swym Wishlist Plus · Product Labels And Badges · cloudfront.net · spinwheelapp.com · b-cdn.net
