Core Web Vitals

4 to fix67
  • Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors

    Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on your site (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

  • Real-user INP: 210 ms

    210 ms

    Real visitors wait 210 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Real-user FCP: 1.8 s

    1.8 s

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

  • Real-user TTFB: 1.4 s

    1.4 s

    Real visitors wait 1.4 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    +1%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

3 checks passed
  • Real-user LCP: 2.1 s

    2.1 s

    Real visitors wait 2.1 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.

  • Tap response (INP) got 14% faster for real visitors

    -14%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 248 ms to 213 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.6 MB

    2.6 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.6 MB on a phone, 1.1 MB of it images (41%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    paper-def-51-mob.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • 1 image in older formats

    1 image (30 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 0.7 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.73 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.73 g of CO₂e: 87.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

1 to fix0
  • 1 image without alt text

    1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

  • Headings skip levels

    Headings skip levels (h1 → h3, h3 → h5 and h2 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

SEO

2 to fix93
  • Structured data has 1 problem

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

  • No social preview image

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

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

  • 518 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 518 pages on quill.com and 6 external pages.

6 checks passed
  • Meta description: 140 characters

    Your meta description is 140 characters: “Free shipping over $25! Shop bulk office supplies, paper, ink and toner, furniture, cleaning supplies and more at Quill…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Quill is built for business with the supplies and solutions offices need”.

  • Title: 58 characters

    Your title is a healthy 58 characters: “Office & Cleaning Supplies For Every Workplace | Quill.com”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.quill.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://www.quill.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • 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.

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: 6 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, logo, sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (3,918 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

5 to fix65
  • 1 page points its canonical at the homepage

    /MyList/MyList declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /content/iw/adv/lp/2026/09/001 is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 2 pages share a title

    / and /MyList/MyList all use the title “Office & Cleaning Supplies For Every Workplace | Quill.com”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

  • 1 page without a meta description

    /pointsprogram/rewards has no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

  • 2 pages without an H1

    /pointsprogram/rewards and /MyList/MyList 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 193 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.

  • Every page has a title

    All 14 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

100
3 checks passed
  • No console errors

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

  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    81 of 98 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • 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.

  • No analytics detected

    No analytics or tag manager detected in the HTML, so you can't measure whether any of these fixes work.

  • 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.

  • About 1,817 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 1,817 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Shop by category” and “subscribe + save”.

  • 49 calls to action

    The homepage has 49 calls to action, for example “Shop by category”, “Buy in bulk” and “Buy again”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 35 testimonial or review blocks, 1 customer or partner logo, a star rating, 35 trust badges and “1,000,000+ happy customers”.

  • Phone number on the homepage

    Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.

  • Risk reducer mentioned

    A guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card or similar) is mentioned on the page.

Privacy and tracking

  • 3 trackers load before any consent

    3

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

  • 32 cookies set on arrival

    32

    Opening the homepage sets 32 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • 23 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 23 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • Consent tool: TrustArc

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

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 quill.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
