Nexora Technologies is a website, app, and custom software development company. They came with the positioning and the details that only they could know; the site itself — design, build, technical SEO and schema — was mine, from nothing.
The challenge
A development company’s own website is the first thing a prospective client measures it by, and the one site where “we build fast software” has to survive being checked. It also had to carry a dark visual identity without the usual cost of one: heavy hero imagery, webfonts in several weights, and the layout shift that comes with both.
What I did
- Designed and built the whole site, so the layout and what it costs to load were decided together rather than handed over
- WordPress development on a block theme, with custom sections rather than a stack of plugins
- Technical SEO and schema markup, including the metadata and structured data
- Performance tuned across mobile and desktop as part of the build, not bolted on afterwards
Where it landed
Measured with Google PageSpeed Insights on 20 September 2026: 86 performance on mobile and 98 on desktop, with 98 accessibility, 100 best practices and 100 SEO on both. Good, and short of finished.
What the audit found afterwards
A site being good is the point at which measuring gets interesting, because what is left is no longer obvious. I ran the same performance audit over it that I would run over anyone’s site, and it came back with five things:
- Google Fonts requested twice, from two different sources, both blocking render and asking for overlapping families
dns-prefetchwherepreconnectwas wanted — the name was being resolved early, but the handshake still waited for the stylesheet- The anti-bot script loading on every page, including ones with no form on them
- A heading level skipped in the FAQ, which tells a screen reader a section exists that does not
- Four of six images with no dimensions set, so the layout moved as each one arrived
Each came with the markup that proved it, and I fixed all five.
Results
Measured again on 22 September 2026, same tool, same page:
- Accessibility 98 to 100, on mobile and desktop
- Desktop performance 98 to 99
- Mobile performance 86 to 88 — three sittings returned 91, then 89, then 88. The figure quoted is the lowest of the three, and the one PageSpeed hands out today, rather than the best one seen
- Render-blocking resources: about 2,030ms of potential saving, down to zero
- Cumulative Layout Shift 0.000 on mobile
The three points on mobile are the least interesting number here. The site was already at 86, so there was very little room left, and a score that starts high cannot move far however good the work is. What actually changed is underneath it: nothing blocks the first render any more, and the page no longer moves while it loads.
Tools used
