Methodology: Routeless audited 36 business websites in Minnetonka, MN (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 36 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 Minnetonka benchmark summary. 4 unreachable Minnetonka sites were excluded from the sample, and 36 of the 36 completed a full PageSpeed run. Sampled businesses include Affinity Plumbing & Water Conditioning, Anchored Orthodontics, Balmer Law Office, PLLC, B & D Plumbing, Heating & A/C, Bedrock Plumbing & Drain Cleaning, Brass Tacks Plumbing, Bravura Group Law & Fiduciary.
