quartzy.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.

Speed

5 to fix66
  • Mobile performance score: 66

    66/100

    Your mobile performance score is 66 (desktop: 76). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    800 ms · 161 KiB

    30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (161 KiB).

  • Improve image delivery

    400 ms · 301 KiB

    9 images could be 301 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 400 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    600 ms

    6 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

  • 1,999 HTML elements

    The page has 1,999 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    150 ms · 43 KiB

    About 43 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.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 13 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 13 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • 3 long tasks on the main thread

    3 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 119 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • 3 third-party services on the page

    3 third-party services load with your homepage (Hubspot, hubspotusercontent-na1.net and Google Fonts), adding 119 KiB and 89 ms of main-thread time.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Main-thread work: 1.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 370 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 29 ms

    29 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 29 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 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: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    Your largest element takes 6.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “higher resolution hero_industry”.

  • First Contentful Paint: 4.1 s

    4.1 s

    The first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user INP: 253 ms

    253 ms

    Real visitors wait 253 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Speed Index: 5.3 s

    5.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Time to Interactive: 6.2 s

    6.2 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 6.2 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • 20 images without width and height

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

  • Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors

    0%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 235 ms to 245 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

7 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.00

    0.00

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.00 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.1 s

    1.1 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 1.1 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Real-user TTFB: 411 ms

    411 ms

    Real visitors wait 411 ms for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) got 32% faster for real visitors

    -32%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.2 s to 1.4 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).

  • Total Blocking Time: 47 ms

    47 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 47 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

1 to fix90
  • 3 images far larger than shown

    165 KiB

    3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example higher resolution hero_industry.png at 1,536 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 165 KiB.

  • 1 image below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (32 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 0.2 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.24 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.24 g of CO₂e: 28.5 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: 858 KiB in 42 requests

    858 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 858 KiB in 42 requests on a phone: images 604 KiB (19), scripts 153 KiB (9) and fonts 40 KiB (2). That is a lean page.

  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 9396
  • 26 text elements with low contrast

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

  • 5 tap targets too small

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

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 133 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 44 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 46 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 44 passed and 2 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

5 to fixGoogle 9271
  • No meta description

    No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • Title is long (90 characters)

    Your title is 90 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Quartzy | Manage inventory, track lab supply orders, and buy everything, all in one place.”.

  • No structured data

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

  • 2 H1 headlines

    There are 2 <h1> headlines (“From incorporation to IPO, one platform that grow…” and “One lab or the whole university, one platform for…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image (also missing: og:description), so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • 31 internal links, 27 external

    The homepage links to 31 pages on quartzy.com and 27 external pages.

3 checks passed
  • Canonical URL set

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

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://www.quartzy.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 (3,638 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

2 to fix90
  • 15 pages without a meta description

    /tour/overview, /tour/order-requests, /tour/inventory, /tour/quartzy-shop, /tour/integrations and /pricing and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /tour/integrations and /pricing 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 17 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

5 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.

  • 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 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

Google 100100
3 checks passed

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    12 of 12 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

Security and trust

100
  • Short HSTS lifetime

    HSTS is set, but max-age is 42 days; one year is the recommended minimum.

  • 2 links through redirect chains

    2 links go through two or more redirects, for example https://info.quartzy.com/localevents?hsLang=en.

  • No Permissions-Policy

    No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

  • Deprecated X-XSS-Protection

    X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

8 checks passed
  • Served over HTTPS

    The homepage is served over HTTPS (quartzy.com).

  • Valid certificate (77 days left)

    The certificate from Google Trust Services · WE1 verifies for quartzy.com and is valid for another 77 days.

  • Protected from clickjacking

    X-Frame-Options or a frame-ancestors policy stops other sites framing yours.

  • Content-Security-Policy set

    A Content-Security-Policy is set, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.

  • http:// redirects to https

    http://quartzy.com redirects to the secure version.

  • HTTP/2 and HTTP/3

    The server speaks HTTP/2 and advertises HTTP/3, so browsers load many files over one connection.

  • All 34 links work

    All 34 links checked from your homepage (19 internal, 15 external) answered without errors.

  • security.txt published

    A security.txt file tells researchers how to report a problem with your site.

Domain and trust

  • No CAA record

    quartzy.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.

  • DNSSEC is off

    quartzy.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.

2 checks passed
  • Domain is 18 years old

    18 years

    quartzy.com was registered in Jun 2008 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.

  • Registered until Jun 2030

    quartzy.com is registered until Jun 2030.

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 1,482 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,482 words of visible text.

5 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Book a demo”.

  • 20 calls to action

    The homepage has 20 calls to action, for example “Pricing”, “Book a demo” and “Quote 1”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 99 testimonial or review blocks, 9 customer or partner logos, 1 trust badge and “4+ members”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

  • Direct contact links

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

Email authentication

85
  • Email authentication score: 85/100

    Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

3 checks passed
  • DMARC policy: quarantine

    DMARC tells receivers to quarantine mail that fails authentication, and sends you reports.

  • SPF in place (~all)

    An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 include:mail.zendesk.com include:_spf.google.com include:2900997.spf01.hubspotemail.net include:stspg-customer.c…”.

  • DKIM signing found

    A DKIM key is published (selector “google”, “k1” and “s1”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.

Privacy and tracking

  • 1 tracker load before any consent

    1

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads HubSpot (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (HubSpot cookie banner) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.

  • 3 cookies set on arrival

    3

    Opening the homepage sets 3 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 7 other companies contacted

1 checks passed
