Catastrophic Layout Shift
Google PageSpeed Insights — March 2026

3.1x worse than acceptable
Proprietary Lock-In
Platform Architecture Analysis
- No access to underlying source code or server configuration
- Limited SEO control — no custom schema markup, restricted meta tags
- No ability to install third-party analytics or conversion tracking
- Content trapped in proprietary CMS — cannot export or migrate easily
- Design changes require vendor involvement and additional fees
- No ownership of the website — you're renting, not building equity

In a documented migration project, Dealer Spike moved their own corporate website from ASP.NET to WordPress — and saw an 80% performance improvement.
