Live site audit · 2026-09-29
Measured on the live site with Google Lighthouse (desktop) and a crawl of its sitemap and structured data.
01 · The project
A store built to sell.
Australian furniture retailer with a detailed catalogue and online ordering. I designed and built the site end to end, then stayed on to manage it.
Since launch I've also managed the technical side: hosting, SSL, security hardening and malware protection, backups, updates and speed tuning. The site stays fast, secure and online without the client having to think about it.
