Case Studies
Real projects, real results. Here's how we've helped clients ship software, fix problems, and build systems that work.
Why Your Site Looks Fast To You And Slow To Everyone Else
Two CT brands. Identical-looking Shopify and Next.js builds. Lab Lighthouse scores in the 20s and 30s. Field scores from real users at 1.2-1.5 seconds. The gap that decides your conversion rate.
- → Lab mobile LCP: 12-13 seconds (catastrophic)
- → Field mobile LCP (Chrome CrUX, real users): 1.2-1.5 seconds (excellent)
- → Same site. Different visitors. 10x measured difference.
A 29-Second Application Page Is Killing the Mission
A New Haven nonprofit accelerator had an accessibility score of 100 and a mobile LCP of 29 seconds. The applicants who needed them most could not load the page.
- → Mobile Largest Contentful Paint: 29.1 seconds
- → First Contentful Paint: 6.98 seconds (catastrophic)
- → Mobile Accessibility score: 100/100 (top 1% of audited sites)
The $500/Year Plugin Tax Nobody Audits
A two-location CT wellness brand was paying for 9 WordPress plugins they barely used. The site was loading in 18.5 seconds on mobile. Here is what the audit found.
- → Mobile LCP: 18.5 seconds (industry-acceptable is under 2.5s)
- → 9+ active plugins identified, ~$400-600/yr in license renewals
- → Best Practices score: 58/100 mobile (mixed-content + deprecated APIs)
Rescuing a Legacy System Before It Collapsed
A critical business system was failing regularly and the original developers were long gone. We stabilized it, documented it, and set up a path forward.
- → System uptime improved from 94% to 99.9%
- → Response times reduced by 70%
- → Complete system documentation created
From Idea to Launch in 6 Weeks
How we helped a fintech startup go from concept to deployed MVP in just six weeks, enabling them to close their seed round.
- → MVP launched in 6 weeks
- → Seed round closed within 30 days of launch
- → Zero critical bugs in first 3 months
