Speed

11 to fix34
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    2.7 s · 953 KiB

    About 953 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 2.7 s faster on a phone.

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    1.0 s · 581 KiB

    23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (581 KiB).

  • Main-thread work: 12.1 s

    A phone's processor spends 12.1 s on main-thread work while loading, 6.1 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • Mobile performance score: 34

    34/100

    Your mobile performance score is 34. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 6,268 HTML elements

    The page has 6,268 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, transcend-cdn.com and Facebook and others), adding 1.2 MB and 1.4 s of main-thread time.

  • 20 long tasks on the main thread

    20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.1 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Google Tag Manager adds 611 ms

    611 ms

    Google Tag Manager costs a phone 611 ms of main-thread work and 678 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    650 ms

    7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 650 ms.

  • transcend-cdn.com adds 347 ms

    347 ms

    transcend-cdn.com costs a phone 347 ms of main-thread work and 161 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Facebook adds 287 ms

    287 ms

    Facebook costs a phone 287 ms of main-thread work and 248 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    150 ms · 45 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 45 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    147 KiB

    2 images could be 147 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

  • 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.

  • Minify JavaScript

    5 KiB

    5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 20 ms

    20 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 20 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

7 to fix67

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

1 to fix70
  • Page weight: 5.7 MB in 253 requests

    5.7 MB

    Your homepage downloads 5.7 MB in 253 requests on a phone: scripts 2.7 MB (73), other files 1.8 MB (76) and images 726 KiB (91). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • About 1.6 g of CO₂ per visit

    1.61 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.61 g of CO₂e: 192.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images load when needed

    Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.

  • Images are sized for phones

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

Accessibility

2 to fixGoogle 10097
  • ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name (1 element)

    ARIA dialog and alertdialog nodes should have an accessible name: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious 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 109 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 43 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: 43 passed and 2 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 9294
  • Structured data has 1 problem

    Structured data found (Corporation, ItemList, VideoObject and WebPage) but with 1 problem, for example “Corporation: missing name”.

  • 7 links with vague text

    7 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.

  • 164 internal links, 19 external

    The homepage links to 164 pages on harvey.ai and 19 external pages.

7 checks passed
  • Meta description: 157 characters

    Your meta description is 157 characters: “Legal AI tailored for leading law firms and corporate legal teams worldwide. Harvey streamlines contract analysis, due …”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Build a Frontier Legal Organization”.

  • Title: 56 characters

    Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Harvey | AI software for legal and professional services”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://www.harvey.ai/.

  • 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://www.harvey.ai/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.harvey.ai/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: 4 of 6 facts

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

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (1,339 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 54 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9693
  • 3 JavaScript errors while loading

    3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getRegistrations') <anonymous>:3:39”.

  • Missing source maps

    Large scripts ship without source maps.

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    55 of 59 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

3 to fix79
  • 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.

  • 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 934 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 934 words of visible text.

4 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Request a Demo”.

  • 12 calls to action

    The homepage has 12 calls to action, for example “Request a Demo” and “Learn More”.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 4 testimonial or review blocks and 1 trust badge.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Tag Manager.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 9 trackers load before any consent

    9

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Amazon Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight and 4 mores (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 7 cookies set on arrival

    7

    Opening the homepage sets 7 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.

  • 26 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 26 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

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