One synthetic load of the homepage on an emulated mid-range phone. Lab data confirms the defect class and is fully reproducible; it does not claim the 28-day real-user percentile that field data would.

Same audits, on the five pages that actually get traffic

Homepage first, then the URLs Google’s ranked-keywords data says are the site’s real front doors. Lab vitals and an independent on-page score for each — same measurements, same rules. A defect that repeats across all five is a platform-wide problem; one that only shows on the homepage is a template-specific fix.

Message match — search snippet vs landing headline

The brand's own Google snippets against the homepage headline layer (title, H1s, primary CTAs — currently “Your idea, online. Made easy.”). A promise that appears in the snippet but not in the headline is a scent break at the very first click. Token comparison, computed — not a model's reading.
