This is a quick summary of the analysis performed on the website. It highlights some of the issues noted on the website, the possible improvements and a rough estimate of the amount of time it would take to address them. I’ve also attached some lab test results at the end with some comments which we can further talk about when we get in touch.

Lab Test Results

Lab test results are a simulation of loading the webpage on a mobile device and a desktop computer, which provides a score based on how quickly the page loads and how efficiently it uses resources such as bandwidth and CPU time.

Google uses this score to determine the ranking of the website. The reason why this is important is because faster loading websites tend to rank higher in search results and attract more visitors. Additionally, faster websites provide a better user experience for visitors, which can lead to more engagement and conversions.

These result show the before state of the website. After the improvements are made, this will be used as a comparison to gauge the impact of improvements. We will be aiming to improve performance on mobile device which will lead to an overall improvement.
