Everyone claims their sites are fast. We show you the actual Lighthouse scores. Below is a real report from a production Uplink site, on mobile, on a throttled connection.

FAQ
Questions about fast websites
Common questions from business owners considering a speed-first build.
How fast is fast, exactly?+
For most sites we build, First Contentful Paint is under 800ms, Largest Contentful Paint is under 1.5s, and PageSpeed mobile scores stay above 95 — consistently, not just on launch day.
Can I still update the content?+
Yes. You email us the change and we make it — usually within a business day. You get the maintenance of a managed service without the speed penalty of a CMS.
Why not just use WordPress?+
WordPress can be fast, but it takes continuous work to keep it fast. Plugins bloat over time, themes introduce regressions, and every update risks breaking something. Hand-built means no ongoing speed tax.
What about Core Web Vitals?+
Our default build passes all three Core Web Vitals targets (LCP, CLS, INP) with room to spare. Google uses these as a ranking signal, so a fast site genuinely helps your SEO.
Can you optimize my existing site?+
Sometimes. If your site is on WordPress or a similar CMS, we can often make it noticeably faster — but the biggest wins come from rebuilding without the CMS overhead. We'll tell you which option makes sense for you.
