Where this one started.
Ladera is one family running two Cheshire parks: holiday lodges from £85,000 at Ladera Retreats in Congleton, and residential park homes at Home Farm Park near Nantwich.
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 we use for every site, it took 45.3 seconds to paint its largest element and weighed 14.7MB.
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 Ladera Retreats 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.
Every price published, in full, on the page, and that line is the home page headline.
Congleton and Nantwich both named, lodges and residential park homes kept apart so each buyer finds their own.
Largest Contentful Paint from 45.3 seconds to 3.6, and layout shift from 0.40 to 0.000.
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 Ladera Retreats on. It is the width we design at first and the width we test at last.
