Speed
Improve image delivery
7.7 s · 1.7 MB7 images could be 1.7 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 7.7 s faster on a phone.
Render-blocking requests
4.3 s9 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 4.3 s.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 171 KiBAbout 171 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 57
57/100Your mobile performance score is 57. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 118 KiBAbout 118 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.
7 third-party services on the page
7 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, GitHub and lever.co and others), adding 546 KiB and 190 ms of main-thread time.
2 long tasks on the main thread
2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 136 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Font display
100 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).
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.
Minify CSS
3 KiB3 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
2 checks passed
Main-thread work: 0.6 s
A phone's processor spends 0.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 207 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 3 ms
3 msYour server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
First Contentful Paint: 8.2 s
8.2 sThe first text or image appears after 8.2 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Largest Contentful Paint: 19.6 s
19.6 sYour largest element takes 19.6 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “QUANTUM Stability. Repeatability. Consistency. Home of the …”.
Time to Interactive: 19.6 s
19.6 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 19.6 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 8.2 s
8.2 sVisually, the page fills in at 8.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
3 images without width and height
3 images 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.
2 checks passed
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.015
0.015The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.015, good is under 0.1).
Total Blocking Time: 0 ms
0 msScripts block the page for only 0 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
3 images far larger than shown
762 KiB3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example Aqumen-Seeker-Data-Sheet-Feature-Image.jpg at 1,920 px wide, shown at 351 px. Resized copies would save about 762 KiB.
Page weight: 3.5 MB in 49 requests
3.5 MBYour homepage downloads 3.5 MB in 49 requests on a phone: images 2.2 MB (19), fonts 784 KiB (8) and scripts 375 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
3 images in older formats
3 images (1.1 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.
3 images below the first screen load straight away
3 images further down the page (1.1 MB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 1.0 g of CO₂ per visit
1.00 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.00 g of CO₂e: 120.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
Accessibility
Invalid ARIA attributes
1 element use ARIA attributes their role does not allow, which confuses screen readers.
6 images without alt text
6 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
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.
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.
1 checks passed
43 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 48 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 43 passed and 5 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
6 links with vague text
6 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
31 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 31 pages on quantumcircuits.com and 4 external pages.
8 checks passed
Meta description: 119 characters
Your meta description is 119 characters: “Accelerating the path to fault-tolerant quantum computing with powerful dual-rail qubits with built-in error detection.”.
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “QUANTUM”.
Title: 35 characters
Your title is a healthy 35 characters: “Quantum Circuits Now Part of D-Wave”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://quantumcircuits.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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://quantumcircuits.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://quantumcircuits.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
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read 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 (852 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
2 pages without a meta description
https://quantumcircuits.com/contact-us and https://quantumcircuits.com/resources/quantum-computing-with-aqumen-seeker have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
6 pages share a meta description
https://quantumcircuits.com/technology and https://quantumcircuits.com/why-cavities-are-great-for-dual-rail-qubits use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.
3 pages without an H1
https://quantumcircuits.com/contact-us, https://quantumcircuits.com/terms-of-use and https://quantumcircuits.com/privacy-policy have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 5 customer or partner logos. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
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 519 words of copy
The homepage carries about 519 words of visible text.

4 cookies set on arrival
4Opening the homepage sets 4 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
