FAQ
Common questions
We ran full diagnostics on 12 video & audio production websites across the US. Every site on this page cleared our complete crawl — PageSpeed, SSL, tech stack, social links, and structured data — so the numbers represent real, production sites, not samples from a survey.
The average video & audio production site in our sample scores 65/100 on Google PageSpeed. Anything above 80/100 puts you ahead of most of your competitors. Below 50 is where sites start losing traffic to faster alternatives — Google's own data shows bounce rate climbs sharply past a 3-second load time.
Google's "Good" threshold for Largest Contentful Paint is 2.5 seconds. The average video & audio production website we analyzed takes 9.1s. If your LCP is above 2.5s, you're penalized in search rankings and visitors drop off before your homepage finishes rendering.
Across our sample, the top technologies are Google Analytics (41.7%), PHP (33.3%), jQuery (33.3%). Platform choice matters less than how it's configured — we see well-tuned WordPress sites outperform poorly-built custom builds routinely.
83.3% of the video & audio production sites we analyzed use SSL. Any site without HTTPS gets a "Not secure" warning in Chrome, which kills trust — especially for video & audio production where clients are handing over personal details or payment info. It's free to add and takes minutes.
