Render-blocking requests
22.7 s46 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 22.7 s.
Reduce unused CSS
12.4 s · 2.4 MBAbout 2.4 MB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 12.4 s faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
10.4 s · 1.7 MBAbout 1.7 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 10.4 s faster on a phone.
Font display
1.8 sWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 1.8 s).
Mobile performance score: 34
34/100Your mobile performance score is 34 (desktop: 25). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 7.2 s
A phone's processor spends 7.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
6 third-party services on the page
6 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Facebook and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 1.3 MB and 1.5 s of main-thread time.
Minify CSS
920 ms · 213 KiB213 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Improve image delivery
800 ms · 236 KiB2 images could be 236 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
800 ms · 187 KiB3 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (187 KiB).
Minify JavaScript
750 ms · 183 KiB183 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.
Google CDN adds 773 ms
773 msGoogle CDN costs a phone 773 ms of main-thread work and 734 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 500 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 383 ms
383 msFacebook costs a phone 383 ms of main-thread work and 212 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 341 ms
341 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 341 ms of main-thread work and 177 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
50 ms · 40 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 40 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 50 ms faster on a phone.
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.

Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 21.4 s
21.4 sThe first text or image appears after 21.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 37.8 s
37.8 sYour largest element takes 37.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Decades of Excellence in building Innovative Educational Pr…”.
Speed Index: 24.9 s

Time to Interactive: 38.5 s
38.5 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 38.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 932 ms
932 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 932 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
1 image without width and height
1 image have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
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: 6.4 MB in 118 requests
6.4 MBYour homepage downloads 6.4 MB in 118 requests on a phone: scripts 2.6 MB (56), stylesheets 2.6 MB (39) and images 769 KiB (6). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
1 image in older formats
1 image (261 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.
About 1.8 g of CO₂ per visit
1.82 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.82 g of CO₂e: 218.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
24 tap targets too small
24 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (17 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 17 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored (21 elements)
Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored: 21 elements on the page fail this check, rated minor by axe-core.
7 form fields without a label
7 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 35 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
47 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 47 passed and 5 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
Title is long (73 characters)
Your title is 73 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “QBS Learning | Developing and Innovating Educational Experiences Globally”.
Meta description is long (248 characters)
Your meta description is 248 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.
No social preview image
No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.
No robots.txt
There is no robots.txt at qbslearning.com/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.
4 links with vague text
4 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
1 link crawlers can't follow
1 link has no real href, so search engines can't follow it.
One H1 headline
Your <h1> is empty.
109 internal links, 15 external
The homepage links to 109 pages on qbslearning.com and 15 external pages.
3 checks passed
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.qbslearning.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://qbslearning.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://qbslearning.com/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.
3 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
There is no robots.txt, so nothing stops the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity from reading the site and cite it in answers.
Organization data: 4 of 6 facts
Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo and sameAs (social profiles); description and contact details would complete it.
Text is in the HTML
Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (594 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 linked page is broken
Your homepage links to https://qbslearning.com/ai-copilot, which answers with an error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines drop it.
4 pages share 2 titles
https://qbslearning.com/creative-services and https://qbslearning.com/services/creative-services all use the title “Creative Designing | Book Designing Services - QBS Learning”, and 1 other title repeat too. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.
4 pages share a meta description
https://qbslearning.com/creative-services and https://qbslearning.com/services/creative-services use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
2 links to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example https://qbslearning.com/services/creative-services, whose canonical is https://qbslearning.com/creative-services. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
2 pages without an H1
https://qbslearning.com/content-development and https://qbslearning.com/content-development/assessment 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 44 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
3 checks passed
Every page has a meta description
All 14 pages that loaded have a meta description.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
3 small tap targets
3 of 7 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.
6 JavaScript errors while loading
6 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'setAttribute')”.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
1 checks passed
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
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: “500+ Happy Customers”. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
Phone number is not tap-to-call
Your phone number appears as text but isn't a tel: link, so phone visitors can't tap to call.
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 397 words of copy
The homepage carries about 397 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: “GET IN TOUCH”.
5 calls to action
The homepage has 5 calls to action, for example “Contact Us” and “Learn More”.
2 short forms
2 short forms (5 fields at most) are right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Meta Pixel.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage.
Privacy and tracking
3 trackers load before any consent
3Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel (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.
3 cookies set on arrival
3Opening the homepage sets 3 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.
8 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 8 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 qbslearning.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
