PROOF · INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIABLE
Every studio says fast, secure, well-built. This page exists so you don't have to take our word for any of it: the numbers below come from third-party tools or straight from your own browser, and every single one names the test that reproduces it. Run them yourself — most take about a minute.
Google PageSpeed Insights · a running log, not a trophy — every recorded run counts
5 RUNS SINCE 31 JUL 2026 · PERFORMANCE 100
CORE WEB VITALS FROM AN EARLIER RUN · 1 AUG 2026
11 RUNS SINCE 31 JUL 2026 · PERFORMANCE 90–100 · 10 OF 11 RUNS
CORE WEB VITALS FROM AN EARLIER RUN · 1 AUG 2026
OUTLIER · 63 · 5 AUG 2026 · NOT IN THE RANGE ABOVE
Single run at 2,560 ms total blocking time — LCP and layout shift stayed green, and three runs before and after it landed between 90 and 96 on the same build. We could not reproduce it and we do not know what caused it; the most likely explanation is a loaded test machine on Google’s side. It stays in the log, out of the spread.
Four independent tools. None of them belong to us.
Performance, accessibility, SEO and Core Web Vitals — measured on Google’s infrastructure, not ours.
Expect every category green, plus 3/3 on agentic browsing — an experimental Lighthouse category that scores those checks, not whether an agent can operate the site. Takes about a minute.
RUN THE TEST ↗The HTTP hardening headers this site sends with every response: CSP, HSTS, frame and MIME protections.
Grade A when we scanned on 1 August 2026. Why not A+? See "honest limits" below.
SCAN THE HEADERS ↗The TLS configuration — protocol versions, cipher suites, certificate chain.
Grade A+ on all four endpoints when we scanned on 1 August 2026. The deep analysis takes a couple of minutes — bring coffee.
ANALYZE TLS ↗The structured data (JSON-LD) that tells search engines and AI systems what this site is.
Expect a successful crawl and one valid Organization item, zero errors — the same data AI answer engines read. Or read it raw: /llms.txt.
TEST THE MARKUP ↗Numbers from this site's own delivery — check them in your browser's DevTools.

What these numbers don't say — because proof without caveats is marketing.
Google’s CrUX field metrics need more Chrome traffic than this young domain has. Until those accumulate, every number here is a lab measurement — dated, and reproducible by you.
Our Content-Security-Policy allows inline scripts: the few render-critical snippets this site needs — your motion preference before first paint, the deferred loading of the animation libraries — run inline, and a statically cached page can’t rotate the per-request nonces that would whitelist them individually. We trade one letter grade for a page that stays this fast. If a scanner shows you A instead of A+, that’s the reason.
Lab scores drift between runs — networks fluctuate, test servers differ, mobile throttling amplifies both. That’s why the scoreboard above is a log, not a trophy: the latest run sits on top and the spread across every recorded run sits underneath, including the ones that dip. What shouldn’t change: every Core Web Vital in the green.
Our showcase work is marked honestly on every card — live demo, concept, or in development. Concept builds demonstrate capability, not client history. The same standard applies to this page: no number without a test you can run.
We run this same diagnostic on client sites — measured, impact-ranked, with a fix path. Curious how yours scores?
