Where this one started.
Broadway Country House is a family run Victorian country house on ten acres in Dylan Thomas's Laugharne, west Wales. Weddings, hotel rooms, glamping pods and breakfast.
The old site was still up at its own address until the new one replaced it, so we measured it there on 3 September 2026. The numbers are below.
The site it replaced.
We measure the old site before the rebuild starts, so the argument for changing it is made of readings rather than opinions. Nothing here is a judgement of whoever built it.

The same page, two builds.
Move the slider under the picture. Left of it is the site Broadway Country House had before. Right of it is the one live now. Both screenshots were taken at 1440px on the same machine, which is a wider window than the 1366px one the readings above were probed at.
What we built.
Weddings, stay, eat, events and an order breakfast page, each one a thing a guest actually does.
A title that says what the place is in one line, and a description that names Laugharne, the pods and the ten acres.
Accessibility measured at 100 on mobile, from 82 on the site it replaced.
What it measures now.
Both columns came off the same test on the same machine on the same day, so they can be read against each other.

Every number on this page is a lab measurement from a single run, not what visitors experienced. Lighthouse 13.4.1, mobile, simulated Slow 4G with a 4x CPU slowdown, run 3 September 2026. These are lab numbers from one run, not what visitors experienced. Sites not yet on their own address were measured where they were being built.
A look round.
The phone captures are at 390 pixels wide, which is roughly the phone most people will open Broadway Country House on. It is the width we design at first and the width we test at last.
