Page speed
Page speed for therapy sites
We ship server-rendered HTML—fee, services and enquiry path in the first response—with images sized for the layout, not camera originals or script-painted copy. Linden Walk is a designed example, not a Lighthouse case study. Core Web Vitals name loading experience; we do not publish scores, certificates, or ranking promises from vitals.
Example bespoke sites
Linden Walk is a designed example in Edinburgh. We do not quote a Lighthouse number or before-and-after milliseconds for it.

Which are you asking about?
The form asks for counselling or psychotherapy, so the reply matches the work. It does not ask you to explain a history.
Name, email, which route, and Edinburgh or online.

Under the surface
Page speed in data.
This block is on the page because vitals get sold as certificates. The sample Service names HTML-first delivery without a score on this URL.

}The website we deliver
HTML first, not a speed badge
Google’s Core Web Vitals describe loading, interaction and stability—they are not a score we print on this page or sell as a guarantee.
A fast shell that hides the fee in an image is still a weak practice page. Crawlers and answer engines read text in HTML; performance work serves people on phones, not a certificate on our marketing site.
| On the build | Left off |
|---|---|
| Server-rendered practice copy | Fee painted by client script |
| Images sized for layout | Full-resolution camera dumps |
| Small font set in the design system | Script libraries for decoration |
| No health data in replay tools | Session replay on the form |
| No published Lighthouse score | Before-and-after ms we invented |
Pictures and mobile
Portraits and room photos get honest alt text and files that fit the block—therapist website mobile checklist covers tap targets and type size on small screens.
Heavy third-party widgets—chat, heatmaps, trackers that touch enquiry text—stay off unless you explicitly want them; ICO special category guidance is why we keep marketing tags minimal.
Beside the speed offer page
Therapist website speed optimisation is the commercial page for the same HTML-first delivery. Technical SEO for therapists covers indexing and crawlability beside load time.
Therapy Search UK is a separate free directory, not Therapist Website Studio—a light directory profile does not replace a performant site you control.
Performance inside Managed and Care
HTML-first builds ship in therapist website design and speed optimisation—£149 setup and £49 a month on Standard Managed for 12 months, then £39; Prices include VAT.
Standard Managed is £149 setup and £49 a month for 12 months, then Website Care at £39. Growth Managed is £249 and £69 a month, then £49, when each real service needs its own page. We do not sell Lighthouse certificates, CWV score guarantees, or millisecond case studies as add-ons. Outright is £650 or £995. Website Care at published prices keeps the live site maintained—not a separate “speed SKU” beside the build.

See what is includedQuestions
- Will you send a Lighthouse report?
- Not as a product. We do not publish a score we have not measured for your live URL.
- Does a perfect score win Google?
- We do not claim that. The page still has to state the practice clearly.
- Are Core Web Vitals the whole build?
- They name experience signals. The build is crawlable HTML and appropriate images.
