Auditing —
From red to green

We can fix every one of these.

A report is only useful if someone acts on it. Send it to yourself and we'll include a prioritised, plain-English plan of what to tackle first, then, if you'd like, we'll do the work and get you back into the green.

  • Right-sized, next-gen images — the single biggest win on most sites we audit.
  • Render-blocking scripts removed so your content paints in under a second.
  • Layout shift & accessibility fixes that lift you in Google and keep every visitor included.
  • Clean, monitored hosting so the numbers stay green long after launch.

Reading your results

What the four scores actually mean.

The audit runs Google Lighthouse, the same engine behind PageSpeed Insights. It gives you four numbers out of 100. Here is what each one is really telling you, without the jargon.

Performance

How quickly the page becomes usable. This is the one that costs you money: people leave slow pages, and Google knows they do. Usually dragged down by oversized images, too many scripts, or no caching.

Accessibility

Whether people using a screen reader or keyboard can actually use your site. Low-contrast text, images without descriptions and unlabelled buttons are the usual culprits. It is also a legal consideration for many UK organisations.

Best practices

General web hygiene: secure connections, no console errors, no deprecated code, images at sensible dimensions. A low score here rarely breaks anything on its own, but it is a decent proxy for how well the site was built.

SEO

Whether search engines can read and understand the page. Titles, meta descriptions, crawlability, mobile friendliness. It is a technical baseline, not a ranking prediction: passing does not mean you will rank, but failing makes it harder.

So your score is red. Now what?

Not every warning is worth acting on, and chasing a perfect 100 is usually a waste of money. In roughly the order we would tackle them:

  1. Fix the images first. On most sites we look at, oversized and uncompressed images are the single biggest cause of a poor performance score, and the easiest thing to put right.
  2. Then caching. If nothing is cached, every visitor makes your server rebuild the page from scratch. Caching is usually a config change rather than a rebuild.
  3. Then the scripts. Every plugin, tracker and chat widget costs you speed. It is worth asking whether each one earns its place. Hungry plugins are a common culprit.
  4. Accessibility issues that are quick wins. Alt text, contrast and labels are cheap to fix and genuinely help real people.
  5. Leave the rest. Some warnings come from third-party code you cannot control. A site scoring in the 80s that loads fast for real users beats a site chasing 100 in a lab.

We are a web studio in Didcot, and we run this audit on Oxfordshire businesses' sites most weeks. If yours has thrown up something you would rather not decipher alone, send it over. We will tell you what is worth fixing and what is noise, whether or not you ever become a client.

FAQs

Questions people ask.

Is the audit really free?
Yes, and there is no sign-up to see your results. Run it, read the scores, close the tab if you like. You only give us an email if you want the full report sent over.
What counts as a good score?
Google treats 90 and above as good, 50 to 89 as needing work, and below 50 as poor. Most real-world business sites land somewhere in the 50s and 60s on mobile, so do not panic if you are not green everywhere. What matters more is which specific things are dragging the number down.
Why is my mobile score so much worse than desktop?
Because the test simulates a mid-range phone on a slower connection, deliberately. Your site has to do the same work with less power and less bandwidth. It is the more honest number of the two, since most people will visit you on a phone.
My score changed when I ran it again. Is it broken?
No, that is normal. Lighthouse scores move a few points between runs depending on network conditions and what your server was doing at that moment. Treat it as a temperature reading rather than a precise measurement, and look at the trend rather than a single run.
Do you store my results?
We keep enough to generate and email your report if you ask for one. We do not publish results, sell them, or share the fact that you ran an audit on your own site.
Can I audit a site I do not own?
Yes. The audit only looks at what any visitor could see, the same way a browser does. Plenty of people run it on a competitor before they run it on themselves.
The audit found problems. Can you fix them?
Usually, yes. Most of what shows up here is fixable in a few hours: oversized images, render-blocking scripts, missing caching, unlabelled buttons. Get in touch with your results and we will tell you honestly what is worth doing and what is not.
