quartzy.com does not allow embedding, so this is Google's rendering of the page.
Speed
Mobile performance score: 66
66/100Your 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 KiB30 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (161 KiB).
Improve image delivery
400 ms · 301 KiB9 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 ms6 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 KiBAbout 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 KiBPolyfills 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 msYour server sent the HTML in 29 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
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 sYour 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 sThe first text or image appears after 4.1 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user INP: 253 ms
253 msReal 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 sVisually, the page fills in at 5.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Time to Interactive: 6.2 s
6.2 sThe 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).

Total Blocking Time: 47 ms
47 msScripts block the page for only 47 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.
Images and page weight
3 images far larger than shown
165 KiB3 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 gBy 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 KiBYour 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
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
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
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
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.

security.txt published

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.

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.
