Lux Port Group: Current Site vs. Proposed Redesign
This analysis compares your current website (luxportgroup.com) with the proposed redesign (luxbroker.netlify.app). The new site represents a significant upgrade in design, user experience, and brand positioning—transforming from a template-based real estate site to a sophisticated luxury brand experience that will resonate with high-net-worth clients.
Google Lighthouse testing confirms dramatic improvements across all metrics.
Google Lighthouse is the industry standard for measuring website performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices. Scores range from 0-100, with 90+ considered excellent. These scores directly impact your Google search rankings.
Core Web Vitals are critical metrics Google uses for search rankings. Poor scores directly impact SEO and user experience. The current site fails on every metric; the new site excels.

|---|---|---|---|
| First Contentful Paint | 4.7s | 1.6s | Time until first content is visible |
| Largest Contentful Paint | 16.7s | 3.5s | Time until main content loads |
| Total Blocking Time | 2,640ms | 0ms | Time page is unresponsive to input |
| Cumulative Layout Shift | 2.108 | 0 | Visual stability (0 = perfect) |
| Speed Index | 16.0s | 4.3s | How quickly content populates |
Google officially uses Core Web Vitals as ranking factors. The current site's poor scores are actively hurting your search visibility. The new site's excellent scores will help you rank higher for "Austin luxury real estate" and related searches.
With a mobile performance score of just 3, the current site takes nearly 17 seconds to fully load on mobile. 53% of mobile users abandon sites that take over 3 seconds to load. The new site loads in under 4 seconds.
Studies show that every 1 second delay in page load reduces conversions by 7%. The current site's 16+ second load time is costing you leads. The new site's sub-4-second load time will dramatically improve conversion rates.
Luxury buyers expect premium digital experiences. A slow, shifting website undermines your brand positioning. The new site's perfect stability score (CLS: 0) ensures a polished, professional impression every time.
