Methodology: Routeless audited 36 business websites in Barnstable Town, MA (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 35 sites that completed a run. Businesses were sampled across industries from public listings and licensing registries; national chains were excluded. 4 unreachable Barnstable Town sites were excluded from the sample, and 35 of the 36 completed a full PageSpeed run. Sampled businesses include All Cape Hvac and Plumbing, Barnstable County Bar Association, Barnstable Dental Associates., Thomas R. Rugo, Attorney At Law, Law Offices of Bruce A. Bierhans, LLC. Collected August 25, 2026. Results describe the 36 sampled businesses, not every business in Barnstable Town, and the benchmark is re-run, so these figures are a dated snapshot rather than a standing claim.
