leg.state.nv.us website review

13 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.5 s.

18 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (1.4 MB).

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

Google Tag Manager costs a phone 236 ms of main-thread work and 307 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.

8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Feedbackify and FontAwesome CDN and others), adding 456 KiB and 297 ms of main-thread time.

2 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 177 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 138 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

About 59 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

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

The page becomes fully interactive after 5.9 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 4.2 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

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

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 286 ms to 288 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 0.8 s to 0.9 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

LegislativeBuildingNew.png weighs 1.1 MB. On a phone connection a single image that size takes seconds.

Your homepage downloads 2.0 MB in 36 requests on a phone: images 1.5 MB (6), scripts 392 KiB (10) and fonts 57 KiB (2). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

2 images (1.4 MB) are 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.

1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example lcb-logo-without-tagline-lg.png at 6,994 px wide, shown at 205 px. Resized copies would save about 399 KiB.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.57 g of CO₂e: 68.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

3 tap targets are too small or too close together to hit reliably with a finger.

Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

There is no <h1>, so neither visitors nor Google get a clear main headline.

Your title is only 18 characters: “Nevada Legislature”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

Your meta description is 191 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

No XML sitemap at https://www.leg.state.nv.us/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

The homepage links to 146 pages on leg.state.nv.us and 7 external pages.

There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

There is no https://www.leg.state.nv.us/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.leg.state.nv.us/Session/75th2009 has no <title>, so Google invents the link text in results.

https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL, https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/36th2025Special and https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/83rd2025 all use the title “NELIS Home”. Search engines can't tell which page to show for a search, so each competes with the others.

https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session, https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/35th2023Special, https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/34th2023Special, https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/82nd2023, https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/81st2021 and https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/80th2019 and 5 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL, https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/36th2025Special and https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/83rd2025 use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

https://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/75th2009 has no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 112 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

The page uses 1 deprecated browser API that will stop working in future browsers (“Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.”).

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 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.

The homepage has only about 240 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

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

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

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