Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Mobile performance score: 24
24/100Your mobile performance score is 24 (desktop: 32). Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
Main-thread work: 4.7 s
A phone's processor spends 4.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 371 ms of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
5 long tasks on the main thread
5 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 1.5 s. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Reduce unused JavaScript
900 ms · 137 KiBAbout 137 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.
Reduce unused CSS
750 ms · 130 KiBAbout 130 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 750 ms faster on a phone.
Improve image delivery
600 ms · 113 KiB2 images could be 113 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
5 third-party services on the page
5 third-party services load with your homepage (nitrocdn.com, Google Tag Manager and wpmucdn.com and others), adding 1.6 MB and 317 ms of main-thread time.
nitrocdn.com adds 162 ms
162 msnitrocdn.com costs a phone 162 ms of main-thread work and 1.4 MB 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.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
150 ms · 28 KiB4 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (28 KiB).
Legacy JavaScript
8 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 8 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
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 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Server response: 62 ms
62 msYour server sent the HTML in 62 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Fails Core Web Vitals for real visitors
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.
Largest Contentful Paint: 12.2 s
12.2 sYour largest element takes 12.2 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “THE EXPERIENCE YOU’RE LOOKING FORSM VIEW OUR REAL ESTATE PR…”.
Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.624
0.624The layout shifts by 0.624 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.
Time to Interactive: 12.3 s
12.3 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 12.3 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Total Blocking Time: 843 ms
843 msScripts block taps and scrolling for 843 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.
Speed Index: 6.8 s
6.8 sVisually, the page fills in at 6.8 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
Real-user FCP: 2.0 s
2.0 sReal visitors see the first content after 2.0 s (75th percentile). Good is under 1.8 s.
Real-user TTFB: 1.2 s
1.2 sReal visitors wait 1.2 s for your server to start answering (75th percentile). Good is under 800 ms.
First Contentful Paint: 2.3 s
2.3 sThe first text or image appears after 2.3 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
3 images without width and height
3 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
+4%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 66 ms to 72 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 14% slower for real visitors
+14%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.9 s to 2.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
1 image far larger than shown
54 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example Blue-Ver..png at 2,500 px wide, shown at 270 px. Resized copies would save about 54 KiB.
1 image in older formats
1 image (60 KiB) is 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.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.48 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.48 g of CO₂e: 57.7 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.7 MB in 55 requests
1.7 MBYour homepage downloads 1.7 MB in 55 requests on a phone: images 640 KiB (16), fonts 446 KiB (11) and scripts 425 KiB (18). That is a lean page.
Images load when needed
Images below the first screen wait until the visitor scrolls to them.
Accessibility
10 text elements with low contrast
10 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
1 image without alt text
1 image has no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (13 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 13 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
4 links without text
4 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
Headings skip levels
Headings skip levels (h1 → h3 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.
1 checks passed
46 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 52 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 46 passed and 6 failed. 2 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
6 H1 headlines
There are 6 <h1> headlines (“The Experience You’re Looking ForSM”, “The Experience You’re Looking ForSM” and “The Experience You’re Looking ForSM”). One clear main headline is easier for people and search engines.
76 internal links, 4 external
The homepage links to 76 pages on psh.com and 4 external pages.
7 checks passed
Meta description: 129 characters
Your meta description is 129 characters: “PSH is a full-service business law and litigation firm dedicated to providing excellence in legal services and business…”.
Title: 40 characters
Your title is a healthy 40 characters: “RI & MA Law Firm | Partridge Snow & Hahn”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://www.psh.com/.
Structured data in place
Structured data found: BreadcrumbList, Organization, WebPage and WebSite.
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.psh.com/sitemap_index.xml.
AI search readiness
No llms.txt
There is no https://www.psh.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.
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 (452 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.
Other pages
1 link to non-canonical URLs
Your homepage links to 1 page by a URL that isn't its canonical one, for example https://www.psh.com/diversity-equality-inclusion, whose canonical is https://www.psh.com/opportunity-inclusion. Linking straight to the canonical URL saves crawlers a detour and keeps ranking signals on one address.
12 pages without an H1
https://www.psh.com/ai-task-force, https://www.psh.com/pro-bono, https://www.psh.com/our-team, https://www.psh.com/commercial-finance, https://www.psh.com/commercial-and-real-estate-finance and https://www.psh.com/workouts-and-restructuring and 6 others have no <h1> headline, so visitors and search engines get no clear main topic.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 41 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
5 checks passed
Linked pages load

Best practices
1 JavaScript error while loading
1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Cannot read properties of null (reading 'addEventListener')”.
1 distorted image
1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
74 of 76 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Content and conversion
No call to action on the first screen
On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.
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.
Thin social proof
Social proof on the homepage: 3 testimonial or review blocks. Pairing it with named testimonials or customer logos makes it far more convincing.
A 11-field form
Your longest form asks for 11 fields (0 required). Every extra field lowers completion.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
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 545 words of copy
The homepage carries about 545 words of visible text.
4 checks passed
2 calls to action
The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Start search”.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Matomo.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 3 phone links and 0 email links.
Phone number on the homepage
Your phone number is on the homepage as a tap-to-call link.
Privacy and tracking
2 trackers load before any consent
2Before 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.
6 cookies set on arrival
6Opening the homepage sets 6 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.
7 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 7 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 psh.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
