larsondesigngroup.com website review

4 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.1 s.

Your mobile performance score is 44. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

8 images could be 3.9 MB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.

About 145 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 900 ms faster on a phone.

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 303 ms of main-thread work and 310 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.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Cloudflare CDN and JSDelivr CDN and others), adding 358 KiB and 433 ms of main-thread time.

5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 236 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 28 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

54 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

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.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.37 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Your largest element takes 9.8 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the element shown below.

The page becomes fully interactive after 9.8 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The layout shifts by 0.334 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

Visually, the page fills in at 6.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.8 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Scripts block taps and scrolling for 234 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

13 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 71 ms to 79 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-31, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 2.1 s to 2.2 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 14.6 MB in 71 requests on a phone: images 13.5 MB (47), fonts 534 KiB (7) and scripts 361 KiB (11). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 4.14 g of CO₂e: 497.2 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 text element doesn't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 35 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

2 form fields have no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

1 visible link has no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where it goes.

No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.

Structured data found (Organization, WebPage and WebSite) but with 1 problem, for example “Organization: sameAs is an empty list”.

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

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

No favicon is declared in the HTML, so browser tabs and Google's mobile results may show a generic icon.

The homepage links to 77 pages on larsondesigngroup.com and 5 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing sameAs (social profiles), description and contact details. These are the facts AI assistants use to describe a business and to tell it apart from others with a similar name.

There is no https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/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.

https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/bid-plans, https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/news-insights, https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/contact, https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/about, https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/markets-services and https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/projects and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/contact and https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/projects have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/bid-plans, https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/news-insights, https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/markets/commercial and https://www.larsondesigngroup.com/markets/community took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 48 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

13 of 49 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

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

No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

The homepage carries about 290 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (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.

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

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.

Loading the homepage contacts 4 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
