Real PageSpeed Scores Back Every NexSite Build
Durham-area owners see proof before they sign. Every preview ships on the same stack we use in production, so the PageSpeed Insights scores you see here are exactly what your launch will hit.
Try it for yourself — benchmark your site today.
Pop your current site into PageSpeed Insights and compare it with the NexSite example reports. Most DIY or template builds fall below 60 on mobile; we design to stay in the 90s without sacrificing visuals.
How to test website speed score
- 1Paste your homepage URL into PageSpeed Insights and run both mobile and desktop tests.
- 2Review Core Web Vitals metrics — Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5s and CLS below 0.1 show a stable layout.
- 3Expand the Opportunities tab to spot quick wins such as image compression or script deferrals.
Tip: run the report twice. Cached assets often score higher, so repeat tests mirror what returning visitors experience.
Want proof on a specific industry? Ask for a sample audit when you submit your preview request and I’ll include screenshots focused on your vertical.
