Not measured in this review.

  +20%

  Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-03, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 104 ms to 125 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

• Page weight: 3.2 MB

  3.2 MB

  Your homepage downloads 3.2 MB on a phone, 574 KiB of it images (17%). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

• About 0.9 g of CO₂ per visit

  0.92 g

  By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.92 g of CO₂e: 110.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

• 1 image without alt text

  1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

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

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

  Elements (1)

• 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.

  All page content should be contained by landmarks: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  Elements (1)

• 1 form field without a label

  1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

  View source

• Title is short (27 characters)

  Your title is only 27 characters: “Personal Banking | M&T Bank”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

  View source

• 5 H1 headlines

  There are 5 <h1> headlines (“Discover the checking account that fits your life…”, “Sustained Focus” and “Click continue to be redirected to a different se…”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

• No social preview image

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

• No X (Twitter) card tag

  No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is incomplete here.

• 40 internal links, 8 external

  The homepage links to 40 pages on mtb.com and 8 external pages.

• No llms.txt

  There is no /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.

• 2 links to non-canonical URLs

  Your homepage links to 2 pages by a URL that isn't their canonical one, for example /personal/online-and-mobile/mobile-banking, whose canonical is /personal-banking/online-mobile-services/mt-mobile-banking. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.

• 15 internal pages checked

  We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 26 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

• 4 broken images

  4 images failed to load on a phone, for example https://bat.bing.com/action/0?ti=5564484&Ver=2&mid=77b3ee3b-b44d-431f-a942-68a5b0a73217&bo=1&sid=779e07a0c61b11f18627f74bb1161b2c&vid=779df130c61b11f1a9105dfca87d44aa&vids=1&msclkid=N&pi=918639831&lg=.

• 7 small tap targets

  7 of 22 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

• No analytics detected

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

• 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 1,107 words of copy

• 6 trackers load before any consent

  6

  Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight and Meta Pixel and 1 more (measured from a US location before any click). A consent tool (Ketch) is installed; check it blocks these until visitors agree where the law requires it.
