Speed

7 to fix59
  • Render-blocking requests

    3.9 s

    16 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.9 s.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.2 s · 402 KiB

    About 402 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.2 s faster on a phone.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.1 s · 121 KiB

    About 121 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.

  • 3,265 HTML elements

    The page has 3,265 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Mobile performance score: 59

    59/100

    Your mobile performance score is 59 (desktop: 82). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 265 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 150 ms

    150 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 150 ms of main-thread work and 372 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.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    150 ms · 108 KiB

    18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (108 KiB).

  • 5 third-party services on the page

    5 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare and Google/Doubleclick Ads and others), adding 387 KiB and 156 ms of main-thread time.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 10 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Improve image delivery

    100 KiB

    6 images could be 100 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Minify JavaScript

    11 KiB

    11 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.2 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 559 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 17 ms

    17 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 17 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

10 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.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 8.0 s

    8.0 s

    Your largest element takes 8.0 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “Welcome to Yaskawa”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 5.1 s

    5.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 5.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 8.4 s

    8.4 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 8.4 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 3.0 s

    3.0 s

    Real visitors wait 3.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.3 s

    1.3 s

    Real visitors wait 1.3 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.2 s

    5.2 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 220 ms

    220 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 220 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 11 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) got 11% slower for real visitors

    +11%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 125 ms to 139 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 3.4 s to 3.4 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 114 ms

    114 ms

    Real visitors wait 114 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.09

    0.09

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.09 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.013

    0.013

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.013, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

100
  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (36 KiB) is 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.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (21 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.46 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.46 g of CO₂e: 54.8 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Page weight: 1.6 MB in 118 requests

    1.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 1.6 MB in 118 requests on a phone: scripts 876 KiB (30), images 318 KiB (58) and stylesheets 155 KiB (10). That is a lean page.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

6 to fixGoogle 8291
  • ARIA commands must have an accessible name (4 elements)

    ARIA commands must have an accessible name: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • 2 tap targets too small

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

  • 114 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (3 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 3 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 11 links without text

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

  • 2 form fields without a label

    2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h2 → h4, h1 → h4 and h1 → h4), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 45 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 51 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 45 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 7585
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • 6 H1 headlines

    There are 6 <h1> headlines (“Navigation”, “Yaskawa is the leading global manufacturer of var…” and “New 480V narrow models (7.5-25 HP) expand the Z10…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • 21 links crawlers can't follow

    21 links have no real href, so search engines can't follow them.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing og:title and og:description, so shared links fall back to guesses.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 641 internal links, 57 external

    The homepage links to 641 pages on yaskawa.com and 57 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • Meta description: 153 characters

    Your meta description is 153 characters: “Yaskawa is the leading global manufacturer of low and medium voltage variable frequency drives, servo systems, machine …”.

  • Title: 35 characters

    Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “Yaskawa America Inc. Home - Yaskawa”.

  • 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.yaskawa.com/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 /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 (2,048 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix93
  • 4 pages share 2 titles

    /products/drives/industrial-ac-drives/microdrives and /products/drives/hvac-drives/microdrives all use the title “Microdrives - Yaskawa”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 143 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

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

  • Canonical URLs point to themselves

    No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 13 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 13 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 20 small tap targets

    20 of 44 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 low-resolution image

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

2 checks passed
  • No console errors

    No JavaScript errors were logged while the page loaded on a phone.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix75
  • 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.

  • 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 545 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 545 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “DOWNLOAD DATA CENTER BROCHURE”.

  • 43 calls to action

    The homepage has 43 calls to action, for example “Contact”, “Send Request” and “Where to Buy”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (0 fields at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics.

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.

  • 8 cookies set on arrival

    8

    Opening the homepage sets 8 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.

  • 7 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 yaskawa.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
