Where this one started.

Willow Valley is a family run holiday park in a sheltered valley two miles inland from Bude: bell tents, hot tub lodges and 21 camping pitches, dogs welcome in every stay.

The old site was still up at the park's own address until the new one replaced it, so we measured it there on 3 September 2026.

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 Willow Valley 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.

Willow Valley Holiday Park: the home page before the rebuild and the home page live today, at the same width.

What we built.

  • Camping, glamping and lodges each described in full, with the 21 pitches and the hot tubs where a guest looks for them.

  • Bude named in the title and the first line, two miles inland stated plainly.

  • Largest Contentful Paint at 1.9 seconds on mobile, from 3.8 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.

The phone captures are at 390 pixels wide, which is roughly the phone most people will open Willow Valley on. It is the width we design at first and the width we test at last.
