What a free audit looks like

A real Delaware contractor’s WordPress site, torn down number by number, anonymized — what you get when you reply “audit.”

This is a real teardown of a real Delaware contractor's website, anonymized. It's what you get when you reply "audit."

The site

A painting contractor on WordPress with a page-builder theme.

Mobile score: 31/100. The homepage transfers 152 MB across 201 requests. Main content appears at 14.9 seconds on a normal phone connection; Google's "good" line is 2.5 seconds.

Where it goes

Slider video the theme autoplays (most of the 152 MB), page-builder JavaScript loaded on every page, uncompressed full-resolution photos, and 14 plugins each adding their own scripts.

What a rebuild changes

Same content, same pages, same phone number — served as static files. This site (the one you're reading) is built that way and scores 97/100 with first paint around a tenth of a second. Run Google's Lighthouse on both and compare.

What it costs to stay

Hosting, plugin licenses, and maintenance run roughly $40–80/mo, plus every visitor who gives up before the page paints.
