Speed

13 to fix45
  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    10.4 s · 15.4 MB

    134 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (15.4 MB).

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    9.8 s · 2.0 MB

    About 2.0 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 9.8 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    4.4 s · 5.8 MB

    36 images could be 5.8 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 4.4 s faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    9.4 s

    8 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 9.4 s.

  • Reduce unused CSS

    1.8 s · 252 KiB

    About 252 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.8 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.

  • Main-thread work: 5.0 s

    A phone's processor spends 5.0 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Vidyard and others), adding 7.2 MB and 2.0 s of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 694 ms

    694 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 694 ms of main-thread work and 1.5 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.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 508 ms

    508 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 508 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.

  • Vidyard adds 163 ms

    163 ms

    Vidyard costs a phone 163 ms of main-thread work and 4.0 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.

  • Font display

    400 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 400 ms).

  • Hubspot adds 136 ms

    136 ms

    Hubspot costs a phone 136 ms of main-thread work and 333 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 213 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    11 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 11 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.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 4 ms

    4 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 4 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.

  • First Contentful Paint: 19.7 s

    19.7 s

    The first text or image appears after 19.7 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 50.9 s

    50.9 s

    Your largest element takes 50.9 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

  • Speed Index: 19.7 s

    19.7 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 19.7 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 53.3 s

    53.3 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 53.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.25

    0.25

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.25 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • 53 images without width and height

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

  • Total Blocking Time: 409 ms

    409 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 409 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    +2%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 128 ms to 132 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

6 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.0 s

    2.0 s

    Real visitors wait 2.0 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user INP: 112 ms

    112 ms

    Real visitors wait 112 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.2 s

    1.2 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.2 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 531 ms

    531 ms

    Real visitors wait 531 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 12% faster for real visitors

    -12%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-11-07, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.8 s to 1.6 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

5 to fix18
  • Page weight: 23.0 MB in 268 requests

    23.0 MB

    Your homepage downloads 23.0 MB in 268 requests on a phone: images 12.9 MB (115), media 4.4 MB (2) and scripts 3.8 MB (74). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 7 images over 500 KB

    7 images weigh 5.6 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 15 images far larger than shown

    5.6 MB

    15 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example elite-provider.png at 10,000 px wide, shown at 70 px. Resized copies would save about 5.6 MB.

  • 18 images in older formats

    18 images (6.9 MB) 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.

  • 20 images below the first screen load straight away

    20 images further down the page (6.2 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 6.5 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.51 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.51 g of CO₂e: 781.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Accessibility

11 to fixGoogle 7485
  • 29 tap targets too small

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

  • 13 text elements with low contrast

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

  • Links must have discernible text (6 elements)

    Links must have discernible text: 6 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • Links look like plain text

    2 links inside paragraphs rely on colour alone to stand out.

  • 56 images without alt text

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

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (36 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 36 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.

  • 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.

  • Zoom is disabled

    The viewport tag blocks pinch-zoom, which low-vision visitors rely on.

  • 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.

  • 3 form fields without a label

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

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

1 checks passed
  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 54 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 10 failed. 4 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 6980
  • Title is long (69 characters)

    Your title is 69 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Digital Real Estate Closing Platform and Settlement Software | Qualia”.

  • Meta description is long (305 characters)

    Your meta description is 305 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: missing name”.

  • 7 links crawlers can't follow

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

  • 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.

  • Open Graph partly set

    Open Graph is missing 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.

  • 94 internal links, 20 external

    The homepage links to 94 pages on qualia.com and 20 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Real Estate Closing Software”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.qualia.com/.

  • 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://qualia.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • Organization data is thin (2 of 6 facts)

    Your Organization JSON-LD is missing name, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.qualia.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.

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

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 6 pages share a title

    /, https://www.qualia.com/title-and-escrow, https://www.qualia.com/connect-for-real-estate-agents, https://www.qualia.com/connect-for-homebuyers, https://www.qualia.com/banks and https://www.qualia.com/pricing all use the title “Digital Real Estate Closing Platform and Settlement Software | Qualia”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 8 pages share a meta description

    https://www.qualia.com/title-and-escrow, https://www.qualia.com/connect-for-real-estate-agents, https://www.qualia.com/connect-for-homebuyers, https://www.qualia.com/banks, https://www.qualia.com/qualia-university and https://www.qualia.com/trust and 2 others use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 31 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

6 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.

  • Every page has a meta description

    All 15 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

5 to fixGoogle 6569
  • 3 broken images

    3 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://www.qualia.com/images/product/elite-provider.webp.

  • 11 small tap targets

    11 of 16 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.”).

  • 4 JavaScript errors while loading

    4 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Unrecognized Content-Security-Policy directive 'prefetch-src'.”.

  • 1 distorted image

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

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

100
  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • 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 805 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 805 words of visible text.

5 checks passed

  • Analytics in place

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

  • Direct contact links

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

Privacy and tracking

  • 8 trackers load before any consent

    8

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads FullStory, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and HubSpot and 3 mores (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Usercentrics) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 21 cookies set on arrival

    21

    Opening the homepage sets 21 cookies, 7 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 43 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 43 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: Usercentrics

    A consent management tool (Usercentrics) loads with the page.

Security, domain, email and software versions
