Methodology: Routeless audited 38 business websites in Owensboro, KY (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 37 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 Owensboro benchmark summary. We dropped 2 Owensboro sites we couldn't reach, and 37 of the 38 finished a full PageSpeed run. Sampled businesses include Ben Thompson, DMD Family Dentistry, Bill Barber Law Office, Bluegrass Dental, Bamberger & Brancato, PSC, Caslin Law Offices PSC, Clifton A. Boswell, Attorney at Law, Complete Dentistry & Implants. Collected August 24, 2026. Results describe the 38 sampled businesses, not every business in Owensboro.
