mvalaw.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 65 (desktop: 80). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

3 images could be 568 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.

2 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 600 ms.

About 104 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.

2 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics), adding 177 KiB and 208 ms of main-thread time.

4 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 143 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

About 20 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.

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

Your largest element takes 7.5 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 7.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

The first text or image appears after 3.0 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

Visually, the page fills in at 5.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.0 s to 1.1 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Your homepage downloads 2.1 MB in 35 requests on a phone: images 1.6 MB (19), scripts 246 KiB (3) and fonts 211 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

3 images are downloaded at several times the size a phone draws them, for example 15002.webp at 3,196 px wide, shown at 161 px. Resized copies would save about 431 KiB.

4 images further down the page (492 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.60 g of CO₂e: 72.0 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

4 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.

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

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

Some list items are not inside a list.

All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 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.

Headings skip levels (h1 → h3), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Your title is only 17 characters: “Moore & Van Allen”. Between 30 and 65 characters leaves room to say what you do and for whom.

There are 8 <h1> headlines (“Legacy”, “Opportunity” and “Investment”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.

Your meta description is 393 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

Open Graph is missing og:title, so shared links fall back to guesses.

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

The homepage links to 60 pages on mvalaw.com and 4 external pages.

Your Organization JSON-LD is missing logo, 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.mvalaw.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.mvalaw.com/about-our-firm, https://www.mvalaw.com/about-fast-facts, https://www.mvalaw.com/about-recognitions, https://www.mvalaw.com/contact, https://www.mvalaw.com/people and https://www.mvalaw.com/people-directory and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 36 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

2 images are displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so they look stretched or squashed.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Social proof on the homepage: 1 customer or partner logo. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.

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 355 words of visible text.

Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, 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 3 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
