A comprehensive speed audit includes testing with multiple tools (Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights, WebPageTest), Core Web Vitals analysis, resource examination, server performance review, and a detailed report with prioritised recommendations and implementation guidance.
Most audits are completed within 2-3 business days. Complex sites with many pages or specific requirements may take longer. I will provide a timeline based on your specific website.
The audit identifies and prioritises issues with detailed recommendations. I can implement the fixes as a separate engagement, or you can use the report with your existing development team.
