Methodology: Routeless audited 70 business websites in Denton, TX (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 70 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 Denton benchmark summary. 5 unreachable Denton sites were excluded from the sample, and 70 of the 70 completed a full PageSpeed run. Sampled businesses include Better Now Counseling, Ccd Counseling, Coker, Robb & Cannon, Family Lawyers, Denton Family Smiles, Sleep & TMJ, Today Dental, Denton Dental Center, Denton Dental Group. Collected August 27, 2026. Results describe the 70 sampled businesses, not every business in Denton, and the benchmark is re-run, so these figures are a dated snapshot rather than a standing claim.
