Good website health & SEO means more visitors.

Good website health and a strong search engine optimisation (SEO) strategy is very important to help a business attract more visitors, and encourage visitors to spend more time on the site and engage more with the content.

Fast page loading times means happy users.

Fast page loading times can improve the user experience and search engine rankings. A super quick response from a website will mean super quick interactions with users, higher engagement, and more conversions.

Good accessibility means universal appeal.

Making websites accessible to everyone helps to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to information and services on the web. This is important for creating an inclusive audience where everyone can participate fully.

A good website means more footfall.

A website that is well-designed, user-friendly, and easy to navigate can help create a positive user experience, which builds trust and credibility with potential visitors, which can increase the likelihood of them making a visit.

What is the Core Web Vitals research project?

The core web vitals project is a research project analysing the health of websites in specific sectors and publishing the results. Our researchers looked at the amount of websites that passed and failed the Core Web Vitals test, breaking down the individual metrics to build up a picture of how the industry is performing as a whole.

What was the source of the research?

Let's discuss our research method. For our website health project we needed a list that best reflects the Museums & Galleries sector. Since nothing like this really exists we needed to create our own. What better way to collate all that data than by curating a list of museums and galleries in a twitter list. I am sure that there will be more as we have no doubt missed some (let us know if we have).
