WEBSITE SPEED SCOREBOARD · NOVEMBER 2026
Darwin emergency trades: how fast are their websites?
11 websites, ordered by mobile speed score. This compares websites, not tradies. A score says how quickly a site loads on a phone in Google’s lab test. It says nothing about workmanship, licensing, reliability or customer service.

The first three places are shown as cards. The bar under each score is as long as the score. The lettered squares are initials, not logos. The score is the middle of three runs. Where two websites have the same score, the one whose three runs add up higher ranks first; websites equal on both share a rank. Select a name for that website’s own page.
How this was measured
- Who is included: independent businesses in the TradieToday emergency directory whose own website names Darwin as an area they serve. Large national and statewide brands are left out.
- The test: Google Lighthouse, run as a phone on a throttled mobile connection, on each site’s home page (version 13.6.0).
- When: three runs per website on 12 November 2026, between 7:30 pm and 8:01 pm Melbourne time.
- Limits: lab scores move a few points between runs, and they are not the same as what every visitor experiences. A site can score lower on a busy day.
