Chiropractic website speed · measured with Google's own tool
We run Google's Lighthouse speed test on every practice website before we migrate it, and again after the rebuild goes live. This page is the running scoreboard: real practices, real dates, and a test you can rerun yourself in about a minute. No screenshots to take on faith.
What we found
Every migration we take on starts the same way: before the old site goes anywhere, we capture a baseline, full-page screenshots plus a Google Lighthouse mobile speed report. Through July and August 2026 that added up to seventeen real chiropractic websites, most of them on the big template platforms. Here's every performance score, on Google's 0 to 100 scale, where green starts at 90.
One dot per practice website, mobile performance score. Lowest: 26. Only two broke 80. Not one reached Google's green zone.
The scores are only half of it. Of the sites where we recorded loading times, the median took 9.2 seconds to put its main content on a phone screen. The slowest took 20.7 seconds, on a site the practice was actively paying a monthly fee for. Google's threshold for a good experience is 2.5.
The receipts
Four practices whose sites we've rebuilt and taken live, each measured with the same Google Lighthouse mobile test before and after. These are live public websites: you can rerun the test on any of them today and check our math.

Picture the moment your website exists for: someone's back seized up, it's 9pm, and they're searching "chiropractor near me" on their phone from the couch. They tap a result. If your main content takes 9 seconds to appear, they're back at the results tapping the next practice before your headline ever draws. You didn't lose that patient on price or reviews or bedside manner. You lost them to a loading spinner.
Google notices too. Page experience, including the Core Web Vitals speed metrics, is part of how Google evaluates pages. Speed alone won't rank a thin site, but when two practices compete for the same local searches, the one whose site loads in 2 seconds isn't giving away a handicap. And a fast site converts better even after the click: every tap responds, the buttons don't jump around mid-read, and the phone number works the first time you touch it.
Why the gap
After seventeen audits the pattern is boring, in a useful way. The same problems show up on nearly every one: photos uploaded once and served full-size to every phone (we found a hero image shipping 38 times more data than the screen could use), fonts pulled from two or three outside services before a word can render, pages that assemble themselves in stages so the layout jumps while you're reading it, and a sediment of chat widgets and tracking scripts nobody remembers adding.
None of that is malicious. It's what happens when one shared codebase serves thousands of practices and making your site fast is nobody's job. It also means you usually can't fix it from inside the platform: the slow parts live in code your account can't touch.
We build the opposite way, and it's why the after-scores repeat. Every image is resized and served per device. Fonts live on the site itself, with fallbacks matched so nothing shifts when they arrive. The first screen's layout is locked before the page paints. There's no page builder and no plugin stack, just fast static pages on managed hosting. Speed isn't a tuning pass we run at the end; it's the architecture.
Don't take my word for it
This takes about a minute and doesn't require an account. It's the same public tool behind every number on this page.
One honest caveat: lab scores wobble a few points from run to run, and live sites change as practices edit them, so don't sweat a two-point difference. What you're looking for is the zone. A site in the 50s isn't having a bad day; it's built that way.
Speed questions
Methodology: every score on this page is a Google Lighthouse mobile Performance score (0 to 100), the same engine behind Google's public PageSpeed Insights test, run with default mobile settings. "Before" scores were captured in May through August 2026 while each practice's previous site was live; "after" scores on the dates shown. Lab scores vary a few points between runs, and live sites change over time. "Main content on screen" is Largest Contentful Paint. Scores describe the specific websites we measured on the dates given, not every site on any platform.
