Performance spread

PageSpeed scores grouped into Google's tier labels. The shape of the distribution tells you whether the industry average hides a few great outliers — or a long tail of broken sites.

Heavy on the slow side: 63% of sites score below 70. Speed is the differentiator most of this market hasn't invested in yet.

Tech stack divergence

Where the local tech stack over- or under-indexes against the national benchmark. Big gaps often signal a local builder's preference — or an opportunity if you're choosing a platform.
