Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
unrealengine.com adds 2.2 s
2.2 sunrealengine.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 s20 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 MB31 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 MB3 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 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Mobile performance score: 76
76/100Your 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 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 27 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Minify JavaScript
8 KiB8 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.

Largest Contentful Paint: 0.9 s
0.9 sYour 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
Page weight: 21.2 MB in 96 requests
21.2 MBYour 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 KiB2 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 gBy 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
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
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
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.

Best practices
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
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
2Opening 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.
