Proof

We run our own audit on ourselves, and publish it.

The checklist a client build is accepted against, run on uxpro.ca. Every reading is dated, and the failures stay in.

Last reviewed . Each result below carries its own “measured on” date.

Latest reading: , v8 pre-launch build (not yet deployed)

Home page: 2.3 s to the largest paint on a really throttled phone. Under Lighthouse’s stricter simulation it is 3.5 s (performance 90), down from 3.7 s on the build before it, and still a failure against our own 2.5 s gate. It stays up as a failure until the deployed site passes.

Lighthouse 13.5.0, mobile preset, production build, median of three runs

Earlier reading: , pre-launch build

Home page: 1.9 s to the largest paint on a really throttled phone. Under Lighthouse’s stricter simulation it is 3.6 s, which fails our own 2.5 s gate. We are leaving that failure up until the deployed site passes.

Lighthouse 13.5.0, mobile preset, production build

  • Fail · Home: LCP 3.6 s, performance 89 (median of 3 runs)

    Accessibility 100 · Best practices 100 · SEO 100 · really throttled: LCP 1.9 s, performance 98

  • Fail · Pricing: LCP 2.9 s, performance 95

    Accessibility 100 · Best practices 100 · SEO 100

  • Fail · Start a project: LCP 2.7 s, performance 96

    Accessibility 100 · Best practices 100 · SEO 100

  • Fail · Practice Website Index: LCP 2.6 s, performance 97

    Accessibility 100 · Best practices 100 · SEO 100

4 of 4 pages miss the gate (LCP 2.5 s or less and performance 90 or more, simulated). On the home page the framework’s own JavaScript keeps the simulated figure above 2.5 s; with no JavaScript at all the same page measures 2.6 s. We re-measure on the live address at launch.

First failure: Mobile LCP: 3.5 s on the home page, simulated

The one that bothers us most

Point 11. Form delivery is what a client's enquiries depend on, and we have not yet put a real submission through our own live form. That test needs the deployed site with its delivery keys set, so it is the first thing we run on launch day. Until then it stays on this page as a failure.

How to read it

This is a pre-launch reading. A point marked not yet measured has no number because the reading needs something that does not exist yet, usually the deployed site or a month of its traffic. Each one says below what it needs and when it can first be taken. Until then it stays marked as pending, and none of them will be filled with an estimate. If a number on this page ever looks too good, ask us for the run it came from.

No bar is drawn until a point is measured.

Not yet measured: what each one needs

The same checklist a client build is accepted against.

Every point: its reading, its target, and how the reading was taken.

A point with no instrument named is an opinion, so each row says what was measured and with what.

Speed on a real phone

  • Performance budget: measurement pending

    PendingNo reading taken · record opened

    Target: Every route inside a performance budget

    The budget is 120 kB of gzipped first-load JavaScript per route. The figure comes from the production build on the deployed project, which does not exist yet.

    How: First-load JavaScript from the production build, held at 120 kB gzipped per route

    Dated record: method and limits

  • Mobile LCP: 3.5 s on the home page, simulated

    FailMeasured on

    Target: Largest Contentful Paint of 2.5 seconds or less on mobile

    Home page, median of three runs on the V8 build: 3.5 seconds under Lighthouse's simulated slow phone (performance score 90), and 2.3 seconds with the network and processor really throttled. The same method on the build before this pass read 3.7 seconds (score 89). We cut the JavaScript every page loads by about 45 kB compressed by keeping the concept studies' copy out of the shared bundle; the hero image was already sized, preloaded and the only high-priority image. The simulated figure still misses our own 2.5-second gate, so this point stays a failure until the deployed site passes it.

    How: Lighthouse mobile on the deployed URL, moto-G class CPU throttling, slow 4G

    Dated record: method and limits

  • Layout shift (CLS): 0 on the home page, in the lab

    PassMeasured on

    Target: Cumulative Layout Shift of 0.05 or lower

    Cumulative Layout Shift read 0 on all three home-page runs, on both the simulated and the applied method. This is a lab reading. The field reading, from real visitors, needs about a month of traffic after launch.

    How: Lighthouse mobile on the deployed URL, plus field data once Search Console has 28 days

    Dated record: method and limits

Whether search engines can read you

  • Sitemap: generated, not yet reconciled

    FailMeasured on

    Target: A sitemap listing every real page and nothing else

    The sitemap is built from one route manifest, which is right. It currently lists every page in the plan, including pages still being built, so some entries would answer 404 today. It has to be reconciled against the deployed route list before launch.

    How: /sitemap.xml compared against the route manifest, then submitted in Search Console

    Dated record: method and limits

  • Canonical addresses: absolute and self-referencing

    PassMeasured on

    Target: One canonical address per page, absolute and self-referencing

    Every page sets its own canonical address, absolute, from one base URL. The choice between www and non-www still has to be enforced at the edge with a redirect, which is a DNS task rather than a code one.

    How: The rendered head of each template, checked on one host with the other redirected

    Dated record: method and limits

  • Published dates: one known problem

    FailMeasured on

    Target: Published dates current and true

    Every plate on the site now says what it is. The hero specimen is labelled a layout study, and the number beside it is carried by a dated screenshot of the live site. What is still wrong: most of the guide set is still in editorial review. A guide now publishes only once it is approved and its date has arrived, so nothing goes live on a date alone.

    How: Every visible date traced to a real publish or review event, never hand-typed forward

    Dated record: method and limits

  • Old addresses: wired, not yet requested

    FailMeasured on

    Target: Every old address resolving

    74 redirects are wired into the build, each one hop, with no chains by construction. Not one of them has been requested against a preview deployment yet, and the old blog URLs have not been checked against Search Console for links worth keeping.

    How: Each old URL requested on a preview deployment, checking for one hop and no chains

    Dated record: method and limits

Whether an assistant can quote you

  • Structured data: 12 types present

    PassMeasured on

    Target: Structured data present and valid

    Organization, ProfessionalService, LocalBusiness, WebSite, Person, WebPage, AboutPage, ContactPage, Service, Offer, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList and ItemList are all in the rendered HTML. They have not yet been run through Google's Rich Results Test, which needs a public URL.

    How: Google Rich Results Test and validator.schema.org, on every template not just the home page

    Dated record: method and limits

  • Facts file: served at /llms.txt

    PassMeasured on

    Target: A facts file served at /llms.txt

    Plain text, one line per link, generated from the same route list as the sitemap so the two cannot drift apart.

    How: A request to /llms.txt returning 200 and text/plain, with links that all resolve

    Dated record: method and limits

Whether everyone can use it

  • Alt text: every image described

    PassMeasured on

    Target: Real alt text on every image

    Each image on the site carries alt text that says what the picture shows. The illustration on the about page is labelled as an illustration rather than a photograph.

    How: axe and a manual read: the alt text says what the picture shows, not what the file is called

    Dated record: method and limits

  • Text contrast: no contrast failures on four pages, automated

    PassMeasured on

    Target: All text at 4.5:1 contrast or better, in both themes

    Lighthouse's accessibility audit scored 100 on the home page, Pricing, Start a project and the research index, and that audit includes its automated colour-contrast check. It reads the text it can find on those four pages. It is not the pair-by-pair read of every page that a full pass needs.

    How: Measured per token pair against WCAG 2.2 AA, light theme and dark theme separately

    Dated record: method and limits

  • Reduced motion: honoured at system level

    PassMeasured on

    Target: prefers-reduced-motion honoured, with nothing briefly invisible

    Motion is stripped globally when prefers-reduced-motion is set, and the reveal checks the setting before it hides anything, so nothing is ever briefly invisible. Every heading is in the HTML at final opacity.

    How: The system setting switched on, then every animated element checked for a final, legible state

    Dated record: method and limits

Where enquiries leak

  • Form delivery: not tested end to end

    FailMeasured on

    Target: A real submission through the live form arriving in two places

    The two forms validate, gate spam and deliver to email and a spreadsheet in code. No real submission has been put through a production URL, and the delivery keys are not set in production yet. This is the point we check monthly for every care-plan client, so failing it ourselves is the least defensible item on this page.

    How: A test submission on the production URL, confirmed in the email inbox and in the spreadsheet

    Dated record: method and limits

  • Name, address and phone: check pending

    PendingNo reading taken · record opened

    Target: Name, address and phone number matching everywhere

    The name, Kitchener address and email are written the same way on every page of this site. Whether the Google Business Profile and directory listings match character for character has not been verified yet; that check is scheduled before launch.

    How: The site, the Google Business Profile and every directory listing compared character by character

    Dated record: method and limits

What AI assistants answer when asked the questions our clients’ customers ask, logged run by run: the prompt, the platform and model, the date, the locale, the session, how many runs, and whether we were cited with a link, mentioned without one, or not at all. Misses are published with the hits.

Prelaunch baseline · run , before this site was deployed. It describes the previous site; it does not measure this rebuild’s effect. Next run: 30 days after launch, with the same prompts.

The runs used two assistants we can drive from a script: Claude via Claude Code CLI and GPT-6.1 Sol via Codex CLI. These are the models with their own live web search, not the ChatGPT or Claude.ai apps, so a consumer may see different answers. Perplexity and Google AI Mode have no endpoint we can use without an account, so they were not run. The 16 prompts come from our search plan.

Inspect it yourself: the prompt log (JSON) has the exact wrapper and prompt, platform and model, date, result and every URL for each of the 48 runs, and each run below links its raw answer, verbatim.
