Speed

9 to fix76
  • unrealengine.com adds 2.2 s

    2.2 s

    unrealengine.com costs a phone 2.2 s of main-thread work and 21.0 MB of downloads while your page loads. That alone is enough to make taps feel slow. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    1.9 s

    20 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.9 s.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    17.3 MB

    31 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (17.3 MB).

  • 2 third-party services on the page

    2 third-party services load with your homepage (unrealengine.com and hcaptcha.com), adding 21.1 MB and 2.3 s of main-thread time.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 MB

    3 images could be 1.3 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    1.1 MB

    About 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

  • Mobile performance score: 76

    76/100

    Your mobile performance score is 76. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

  • 7 long tasks on the main thread

    7 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 526 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Main-thread work: 3.9 s

    A phone's processor spends 3.9 s on main-thread work while loading, 3.0 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    27 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

  • Minify JavaScript

    8 KiB

    8 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

  • 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: 3 ms

    3 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 3 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

9 to fix33
  • 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.

  • Time to Interactive: 19.7 s

    19.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 19.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 6.8 s

    6.8 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 6.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Real-user LCP: 2.6 s

    2.6 s

    Real visitors wait 2.6 s for the largest content to appear (75th percentile). Good is under 2.5 s.

  • Real-user CLS: 0.17

    0.17

    For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.17 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

  • Real-user FCP: 2.5 s

    2.5 s

    Real visitors see the first content after 2.5 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.

  • Total Blocking Time: 561 ms

    561 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 561 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.104

    0.104

    The layout shifts by 0.104 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

  • Largest content (LCP) held steady for real visitors

    -7%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 4.9 s to 4.5 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

4 checks passed
  • Real-user INP: 140 ms

    140 ms

    Real visitors wait 140 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

  • Tap response (INP) got 27% faster for real visitors

    -27%

    Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 243 ms to 173 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

  • First Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    The first text or image appears after 0.9 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 0.9 s

    0.9 s

    Your largest element renders in 0.9 s on a phone, inside Google's 2.5 s “good” threshold. The largest element is the text “Quixel offers one of the world’s largest libraries of profe…”.

Images and page weight

5 to fix29
  • Page weight: 21.2 MB in 96 requests

    21.2 MB

    Your homepage downloads 21.2 MB in 96 requests on a phone: media 17.0 MB (3), scripts 2.1 MB (41) and images 1.5 MB (17). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • 2 images over 500 KB

    2 images weigh 1.4 MB together. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

  • 2 images far larger than shown

    922 KiB

    2 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example cmhutp0tl0pcs07ogamnyb8yp at 1,920 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 922 KiB.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    cmh3schne6vju07ogov03a5yy 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 below the first screen load straight away

    1 image further down the page (845 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to it. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

  • About 6.0 g of CO₂ per visit

    6.00 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 6.00 g of CO₂e: 720.3 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

Accessibility

3 to fixGoogle 10097
  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (4 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 4 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one main landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one main landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 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.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 6 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 45 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 3 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

2 to fixGoogle 10091
  • Title is long (78 characters)

    Your title is 78 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Quixel Megascans | High-quality 3D assets for games, film, and beyond - Quixel”.

  • Only 3 internal links

    The homepage links to only 3 pages on your own site, so visitors and crawlers find few routes into the rest of it.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 150 characters

    Your meta description is 150 characters: “Explore a huge library of 2D and 3D scanned assets, captured from real-world objects with advanced photogrammetry, for …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Capturing the world. Empowering creativity.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://quixel.com/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization 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://quixel.com/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • Opted out of AI training for 5 crawlers

    robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended and CCBot, which collect pages to train models. That's a legitimate choice and doesn't by itself stop the site appearing in AI answers, which the crawlers above handle.

4 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: 5 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (366 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

  • llms.txt published

    The site publishes /llms.txt (2 KiB, 7 links), a plain-text guide to the site for AI tools.

Other pages

1 to fix93
  • 1 linked page hidden from search

    /news is marked noindex but linked from your homepage. If it is meant to be found, remove the noindex.

  • 3 internal pages checked

    We fetched 3 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

6 checks passed
  • Linked pages load

    All 3 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 3 pages that loaded have a meta description.

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • Every page has a title

    All 3 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 8191
  • Deprecated browser APIs

    The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“The Protected Audience API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.”).

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 6 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

7 to fix36
  • 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.

  • No calls to action

    We found no call-to-action buttons or links (such as “Book a demo” or “Get a quote”) anywhere on the homepage.

  • 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 phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • Thin social proof

    Social proof on the homepage: 20 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

  • No analytics detected

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

  • 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 opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

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

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • 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 366 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 366 words of visible text.

Privacy and tracking

  • 2 cookies set on arrival

    2

    Opening the homepage sets 2 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 5 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 5 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

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