Where this one started.
Kernow Holiday Home Sales is a family run business that sells holiday homes on their owners' behalf as private listings, and helps parks with marketing, planning and stock.
The old site was still up at its own address until the new one replaced it. Measured on 3 September 2026 in the same throttled mobile lab test, it weighed 6.5MB and blocked the main thread for 5.9 seconds.
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 Kernow Holiday Home Sales 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.
The seller's question answered in the first line: selling your Cornish holiday home, we handle it for you.
Private sale listings, and a separate route for parks that want marketing, planning and stock services.
Home page weight from 6,532KB to 680KB and blocking time from 5.9 seconds to 136 milliseconds.
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 Kernow Holiday Home Sales on. It is the width we design at first and the width we test at last.
