Original research

The 2026 Routeless Local Website Benchmark: Modesto.

We ran 72 Modesto business websites through the same audit (42 home services, 30 healthcare): homepage checks plus Google's mobile performance test. We collected the data August 27, 2026 and left out national chains. Modesto is one of 336 US cities in the benchmark.

  • 97.2% took over 2.5s to show their main content on mobile Largest Contentful Paint above Google's 'good' threshold, 72 sites tested
  • 61.0/100 median mobile performance score Google PageSpeed Insights lab score across 72 sites
  • 8.2s median time to largest content on mobile Google recommends 2.5 seconds or less
  • 38.9% have no structured data at all machine-readable markup that describes the business and page
  • 47.2% run no analytics or conversion tracking we could detect no Google Analytics, Tag Manager, or ad pixel on the homepage
  • 68.1% have no contact form on their homepage a visitor's only next step is a phone call or leaving
  • 26.4% run on a DIY site builder Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy builder, Weebly, or Duda
  • 2.3MB median homepage weight total mobile download across 72 tested sites

The fastest homepage in the Modesto sample showed its main content in 1.7 seconds, the slowest took 54.9, and the middle half took between 6.0 and 11.9. The lightest homepage weighs 192 KB; the heaviest sends 39.2 MB to a phone.

Everything we measured in Modesto, from worst to best. The 50th column is the typical site. Beat the 90th column and you're ahead of nine in ten sites we tested:

Methodology: Routeless audited 72 business websites in Modesto, CA (2026Q3 benchmark). Homepage signals (CMS, structured data, contact paths, analytics) were collected from each site's live homepage; performance figures are Google PageSpeed Insights mobile lab metrics for the 72 sites that completed a run. Businesses were sampled across industries from public listings and licensing registries; national chains were excluded. Read Google's PageSpeed Insights methodology and download the anonymized Modesto benchmark summary. We dropped 10 Modesto sites we couldn't reach, and 72 of the 72 finished a full PageSpeed run. Sampled businesses include Anguiano Law, APLC, Borton Petrini, LLP, Brewer Family Dentistry, Dean Commercial Interiors, Law Offices of Dean Petrulakis, Dr. Rosenbaum & Associates, Downey Park Family Dentistry. Collected August 27, 2026. Results describe the 72 sampled businesses, not every business in Modesto. We re-run the benchmark, so treat these numbers as a snapshot from that date.

Benchmark observations

What we found analyzing 72 Modesto websites.

  • 91.7% of the Modesto business sites we tested fall in Google's 'poor' range for loading: their main content takes more than four seconds to appear on a phone.
  • 26.4% of the 72 sites have no sitemap we could find, so search engines have to discover their pages by following links.
  • Only 9.7% of the sites we tested get enough traffic for Google to publish field speed data, which is measured on visitors' own devices. The rest have lab scores only.
  • 0.0% of the sampled sites let visitors book or schedule online.
  • 33.3% run on WordPress and 26.4% on DIY builders. The rest are custom, or we couldn't identify the platform.
  • 68.1% of Modesto homepages have no contact form, and 34.7% have no tap-to-call phone link on mobile.
  • 47.2% of the Modesto sites run no analytics we could detect, so those owners can't easily see how many visits or inquiries the site brings in.

The median Modesto site takes 8.2 seconds to show its main content on a phone. Every figure above comes from the same 72 sites.

  • Routeless Routeless Go websites are $99 a month; custom projects are quoted after review
Buyer guide

What to look for in a Modesto web design company.

Past work

Portfolio work you can inspect

Ask for recent, named projects you can open, and case studies that say what was done and what changed. A live site you can click through tells you more than a wall of client logos.

Speed

Test the agency's own website

Speed is one part of the decision, and anyone can test an agency's own site. The table above shows the same mobile score for every provider.

Specialty

Match the team to the build

A branding studio, a WordPress shop, an ecommerce team, and a software developer each solve different problems. Pick the team that has built the kind of site you need.

Ownership

Know who does the work

Ask who plans, designs, builds, launches, and maintains your site. Get what's included in writing, and ask how they handle changes to price or timeline.

Agency Intelligence methodology · version 2026-10

How we evaluated Modesto web design agencies.

Scores count only what we could verify in public. If an agency doesn't publish case studies, reviews, pricing, or other proof, it gets no points for that part of the score. That doesn't mean its client work is poor.

  • 25Portfolio and demonstrated work
  • 20Public case-study evidence
  • 15Technical website quality
  • 15Verifiable public reputation
  • 10Service depth
  • 10Modesto market relevance
  • 5Transparency

Choosing which agencies to review is a separate step from ranking them. For that step we look at local relevance, brand searches, how often an agency appears across independent search results, how much public evidence it has, reputation, and a mix of specialties. Every agency that makes the list is scored on the same 100-point Agency Quality rubric, and the 9 ranked agencies are ordered by that total alone. Routeless publishes this research. It's listed as our pick and isn't ranked, so no score is adjusted in its favor. Its remote setup and lack of third-party reviews are scored as found. Technical scores come from each audit, and audits and source facts are dated September 1, 2026.

Leading local industries

Websites for Modesto's leading industries.

With over 10,000 establishments in Stanislaus County, many businesses are in retail, health care, and hospitality. Being visible in local search and AI results can matter when many businesses compete for the same customers. A website alone doesn't guarantee being found. Local businesses need to consider how they rank in search results to draw attention in a crowded field.

The sections below cover the sectors with the most establishments in Stanislaus County. Each trade needs different things from its website.

Retail

Retail and e-commerce websites

Stanislaus County has 1,477 retail establishments. For local retailers and product businesses in Modesto, start with:

  • Online sales with payments, inventory, and sales tax set up correctly
  • Product pages that search engines and AI assistants can read
  • Pickup, delivery, and hours that match how you sell
  • Analytics that show which marketing brings in sales
Health Care And Social Assistance

Healthcare websites

Stanislaus County has 1,259 health care and social assistance establishments. For dental practices, clinics, med spas, and specialty providers in Modesto, start with:

  • A page for each treatment patients look up
  • Online scheduling tied to your practice management system
  • Structured data so Google and AI assistants can read your practice details
  • Forms and analytics planned around PHI: which vendors, who has access, how long data is kept
Hospitality And Food Service

Hospitality and food service websites

Stanislaus County has 1,071 hospitality and food service establishments. For restaurants, caterers, venues, and hotels in Modesto, start with:

  • Menus, hours, and locations that stay correct everywhere
  • Reservations and ordering with fewer third-party fees
  • Local search and map-pack basics
  • Big photos of the food or venue that still load fast on a phone
Construction

Construction and home services websites

Stanislaus County has 1,044 construction establishments. For contractors, roofers, plumbers, HVAC, and landscaping companies in Modesto, start with:

  • An estimate request form that alerts you right away
  • Photos of finished jobs, grouped by service and neighborhood
  • Call tracking and lead routing that hold up in the busy season
  • Your license, insurance, and reviews where customers will see them

What we build

A website you can run yourself, with the tools around it.

26.4% of the Modesto sites we audited run on a DIY builder, and those owners usually pay separately for plugins, forms, and hosting. Routeless Go puts the website, the lead inbox, analytics, and content publishing in one account, and sets up the search basics for you.

Routeless Go

Three designs, then one place to run the site

Go drafts your pages from your business details and shows them in three designs. After launch you change the site by clicking or asking, get every inquiry in one inbox, and see where visitors come from.

Search & AI visibility

Found by Google and by assistants

Page titles, descriptions, structured data, and a sitemap are set up on every Go website. 38.9% of the Modesto sites we audited publish no structured data at all.

Search and AI assistants

People also ask AI assistants who to hire.

When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI results who to hire in Modesto, the answer draws on what those systems can read: your pages, your structured data, and business details that match across the web. Structured data makes that information easier for search engines and AI systems to interpret and verify. 38.9% of the 72 Modesto sites we tested publish none.

We also check your Google Business Profile and the listings AI assistants compare you against. Every Go website comes with structured data and a sitemap, and we publish our research on how AI assistants recommend local businesses.

How it works

From business details to a live Modesto website.

1 · Details

Tell Go about your business

Start with your current website, your Google Business Profile, or a few details about what you do and where in Modesto you work.

2 · Designs

Look through three designs

Each one uses your services and what you want customers to do: call, book, or ask for a quote. Nothing to pay yet.

3 · Changes

Make it yours

Change the copy, photos, colors, and pages directly, or tell Go what you want in plain English.

4 · Publish

Go live for $99 a month

Connect your domain and publish. Hosting, the lead inbox, analytics, and content tools are included, and you can compare the live site with the 72 Modesto sites above.

FAQ

Questions Modesto businesses ask.

A Modesto business website on Routeless Go costs $99 a month once you publish, with no setup fee. You can look through three designs before you pay. Projects that need integrations or other custom work are quoted after we review them. We found prices you can compare for 1 of the 10 agencies we reviewed. The others quote each project or don't list prices.

We scored 10 agencies serving Modesto on public evidence: portfolio, case studies, technical quality, reputation, services, local relevance, and transparency. The top three in our 2026 review are Web Design (Best for diverse service offerings), Wordpack Media (Best for reviews), Sisbro Innovation (Best for client satisfaction). Routeless publishes the research, so we list it as our pick and leave it out of the ranking. The full comparison and methodology are on this page.

Agency Intelligence is a separate study from the local business website benchmark. We scored 10 providers on the same 100-point rubric, using only what we could verify in public, and ordered the 9 ranked agencies by that total alone. An agency that doesn't publish something gets no points for it. That doesn't mean its client work is poor.

We audited 72 Modesto business websites. 97.2% take more than 2.5 seconds to show their main content on a phone. 38.9% have no structured data for search engines or AI assistants to read, and 47.2% run no analytics, so those owners can't see what their site brings in. The full results are on this page.

No. Routeless is a remote engineering team that works with businesses in Modesto and across the US. The research on this page is local, though: the benchmark covers 72 Modesto business websites, and the market figures come from U.S. Census data for Modesto and Stanislaus County.

The industry sections on this page follow the largest sectors in Modesto: retail, health care and social assistance, hospitality and food service. Go works the same way for any kind of business. The latest County Business Patterns count puts Stanislaus County at 10,013 business establishments.

The Modesto sites we tested have a median mobile performance score of 61/100. The median site takes 8.2 seconds to show its main content, and Google calls 2.5 seconds or less 'good'. We test every site we build for mobile speed before launch.

Yes. 26.4% of the Modesto sites we audited run on a DIY builder and 33.3% on WordPress. We move your content over, redirect old URLs that get search traffic, and build the new site around what you sell.
