Speed

10 to fix45
  • Improve image delivery

    2.3 s · 874 KiB

    27 images could be 874 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.1 s · 142 KiB

    About 142 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 45

    45/100

    Your mobile performance score is 45. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 460 KiB

    About 460 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Shopify, Google CDN and aiqua.io and others), adding 1.9 MB and 371 ms of main-thread time.

  • Render-blocking requests

    550 ms

    9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 550 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.3 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.3 s on main-thread work while loading, 663 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Shopify adds 159 ms

    159 ms

    Shopify costs a phone 159 ms of main-thread work and 468 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.

  • 1,789 HTML elements

    The page has 1,789 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Google Fonts adds 4 ms

    4 ms

    Google Fonts costs a phone 4 ms of main-thread work and 963 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 CSS

    150 ms · 15 KiB

    15 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    149 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (149 KiB).

  • 6 long tasks on the main thread

    6 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 89 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    50 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).

  • Legacy JavaScript

    30 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 30 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

8 to fix67
  • 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: 0.53

    0.53

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.53 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 12.2 s

    12.2 s

    Your largest element takes 12.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.6 s

    19.6 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.561

    0.561

    The layout shifts by 0.561 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Speed Index: 7.9 s

    7.9 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 7.9 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.9 s

    1.9 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.9 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • 39 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    -1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 95 ms to 94 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -4%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.0 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

5 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    Real visitors wait 2.2 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 104 ms

    104 ms

  • Real-user TTFB: 323 ms

    323 ms

    Real visitors wait 323 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 51 ms

    51 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 51 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.0 MB in 270 requests

    5.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.0 MB in 270 requests on a phone: images 2.0 MB (65), scripts 1,006 KiB (52) and fonts 878 KiB (42). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 8 images below the first screen load straight away

    8 images further down the page (263 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 1.4 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.42 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.42 g of CO₂e: 170.2 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

8 to fixGoogle 8490
  • ARIA attributes must conform to valid values (1 element)

    ARIA attributes must conform to valid values: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

  • 63 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 23 tap targets too small

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

  • Malformed lists

    Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

  • 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.

  • 58 links without text

    58 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text (5 elements)

    Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text: 5 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • ARIA role should be appropriate for the element (2 elements)

    ARIA role should be appropriate for the element: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 68 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 53 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 61 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 53 passed and 8 failed. 5 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9279
  • Title is short (23 characters)

    Your title is only 23 characters: “【SOOTANG HOBBY】ホビー通販サイト”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  • 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 short (64 characters)

    Your meta description is only 64 characters: “フィギュア、プラモデルを中心に、国内・海外の多種多様なホビー商品を扱う総合通販サイト。最新商品も随時更新中!是非ご利用ください!”. 70 to 160 characters is enough to sell the click.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • 289 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 289 pages on sootang.jp and 6 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “SOOTANG HOBBY”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.sootang.jp/.

  • 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.sootang.jp/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.sootang.jp/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 (295 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

3 to fix85
  • 6 pages without a meta description

    https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E6%96%B0%E8%A6%8F%E5%85%A5%E8%8D%B7%E5%95%86%E5%93%81, https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E6%96%B0%E8%A6%8F%E4%BA%88%E7%B4%84%E5%95%86%E5%93%81, https://www.sootang.jp/pages/ranking-list, https://www.sootang.jp/collections/gunpla, https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB and https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E3%81%9D%E3%81%AE%E4%BB%96%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 5 links to non-canonical URLs

    Your homepage links to 5 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E6%96%B0%E8%A6%8F%E5%85%A5%E8%8D%B7%E5%95%86%E5%93%81, whose canonical is https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%e6%96%b0%e8%a6%8f%e5%85%a5%e8%8d%b7%e5%95%86%e5%93%81. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

  • 6 pages without an H1

    https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E6%96%B0%E8%A6%8F%E5%85%A5%E8%8D%B7%E5%95%86%E5%93%81, https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E6%96%B0%E8%A6%8F%E4%BA%88%E7%B4%84%E5%95%86%E5%93%81, https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB, https://www.sootang.jp/collections/gunpla, https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB and https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E3%81%9D%E3%81%AE%E4%BB%96%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

  • 7 pages with very little text

    https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E6%96%B0%E8%A6%8F%E5%85%A5%E8%8D%B7%E5%95%86%E5%93%81, https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E6%96%B0%E8%A6%8F%E4%BA%88%E7%B4%84%E5%95%86%E5%93%81, https://www.sootang.jp/pages/ranking-list, https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB, https://www.sootang.jp/collections/gunpla and https://www.sootang.jp/collections/%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB and 1 other 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 134 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

4 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    7 pages of 15 loaded without an error (the rest turned automated requests away).

  • 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 7 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 63 small tap targets

    63 of 166 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

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

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix33
  • 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 calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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 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 278 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 278 words of visible text.

1 checks passed
  • 2 short forms

    2 short forms (1 field at most) are right on the homepage.

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.

  • 23 cookies set on arrival

    23

    Opening the homepage sets 23 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.

  • 25 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 25 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 sootang.jp, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
