Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Reduce unused JavaScript
7.5 s · 1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.5 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
3.5 s18 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.5 s.
Improve image delivery
3.5 MB9 images could be 3.5 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Squarespace, Google CDN and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 2.6 MB and 1.1 s of main-thread time.
Mobile performance score: 54
54/100Your mobile performance score is 54 (desktop: 55). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 160 KiBAbout 160 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.
Squarespace adds 582 ms
582 msSquarespace costs a phone 582 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 MB 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
450 ms · 115 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 115 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Google CDN adds 315 ms
315 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 315 ms of main-thread work and 739 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: 3.4 s
A phone's processor spends 3.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.2 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
1,651 HTML elements
The page has 1,651 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
10 long tasks on the main thread
10 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 172 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
23 KiB12 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (23 KiB).
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: 21 ms
21 msYour server sent the HTML in 21 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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.
First Contentful Paint: 16.0 s
16.0 sThe first text or image appears after 16.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 25.7 s
25.7 sYour largest element takes 25.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Select “Accept all” to agree to our use of cookies and simi…”.
Speed Index: 16.0 s
16.0 sVisually, the page fills in at 16.0 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 26.4 s
26.4 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 26.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Real-user LCP: 2.7 s
2.7 sReal visitors wait 2.7 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 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 10% slower for real visitors
+10%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 72 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 11% slower for real visitors
+11%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-10, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.5 s to 1.7 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.005
0.005The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.005, good is under 0.1).
Images and page weight
Page weight: 7.6 MB in 137 requests
7.6 MBYour homepage downloads 7.6 MB in 137 requests on a phone: images 4.2 MB (14), scripts 2.4 MB (75) and other files 605 KiB (15). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
Japanese+Products.jpg 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).
About 2.1 g of CO₂ per visit
2.15 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 2.15 g of CO₂e: 257.7 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
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.
2 form fields without a label
2 form fields have 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.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h2 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 23 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
5 H1 headlines
There are 5 <h1> headlines (“ElevatingJapanese Food Culture”, “Not Just Imported.Carefully Chosen.” and “Better SourcingStarts Here”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
Structured data has 1 problem
Structured data found (WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “WebSite: image is not an absolute URL ("//images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68b763dc5c517947d8c…”.
87 internal links, 12 external
The homepage links to 87 pages on nymtc.com and 12 external pages.
6 checks passed
Meta description: 151 characters
Your meta description is 151 characters: “Discover authentic Japanese food, beverages, and supplies. Supporting foodservice professionals since 1926 with premium…”.
Title: 65 characters
Your title is a healthy 65 characters: “New York Mutual Trading Inc | Enhance Your Japanese Cuisine Today”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.nymtc.com/.
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.nymtc.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
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 /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 (787 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages share a title
/our-products and /products all use the title “Our Products | Enhance Your Cuisine – Shop Japanese Delights — New Yo…”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
2 pages share a meta description
/our-products and /products use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example /products, whose canonical is /our-products. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
4 pages without an H1
/tsukiji-ohta, /wagyu, /monthly-miyako-letter and /open-account have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
4 pages with very little text
/tsukiji-ohta, /wagyu, /monthly-miyako-letter and /open-account 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.
4 checks passed

3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/versioned-site-css/68b763dc5c517947d8cf3bad/291/5c5…”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
14 of 14 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
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.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No analytics detected
No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No form on the homepage
There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
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 370 words of copy
The homepage carries about 370 words of visible text.
3 checks passed
4 calls to action
The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Contact Form”.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 1 phone link and 2 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
1 cookie set on arrival
1Opening the homepage sets 1 cookie (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.
15 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
1 checks passed
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 nymtc.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
