Methodology: Routeless audited 93 business websites in Fort Myers, FL (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 92 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 Fort Myers benchmark summary. 5 unreachable Fort Myers sites were excluded from the sample, and 92 of the 93 completed a full PageSpeed run. Sampled businesses include Action Cooling & Heating, Affordable Window Systems Inc., Andrew Site Work, Banner Pool Service, Barkley Healthcare Group, Bryant Roofing, Catalyst Air Conditioning. Collected August 27, 2026.
