This website was built using Dreamweaver, a visual web editor. While Dreamweaver allows for rapid prototyping and visual design, it can sometimes lead to less optimized code compared to hand-coding. The website's performance and SEO were evaluated using Lighthouse, revealing significant issues. A score of -1 for both Performance and SEO indicates severe problems that negatively impact user experience and search engine visibility. This suggests the current stack, particularly the reliance on Dreamweaver without careful optimization, is failing to meet the website's needs for speed, accessibility, and discoverability.
The poor Lighthouse scores directly contradict the goals of a successful website. The negative performance score means slow loading times, leading to frustrated users and high bounce rates. The negative SEO score signifies that the website is likely invisible to search engines, hindering its ability to reach its target audience. Consequently, the website's purpose – whether it's to inform, sell, or entertain – is severely compromised. Addressing these issues requires a critical review of the codebase, optimization of assets, and potentially a shift towards more modern and performant technologies. Prioritizing performance and SEO is crucial for improving user experience and achieving the website's intended purpose.
