Understand the starting point.
The assessment considers representative pages, devices, and important interactions. Available field data and controlled lab tests answer different questions, so they are documented separately. Results should identify the tested URL, date, environment, and conditions rather than presenting an isolated score as a permanent property of the site.
Fix the expensive work first.
Potential improvements include resizing and compressing images, reserving layout space, reducing unnecessary scripts, deferring non-critical code, and reviewing render-blocking resources. The right priorities depend on the site. Essential functions should continue working after an optimization, and third-party embeds should be considered part of the performance budget.
Review delivery without assuming a migration is the answer.
Hosting, caching, DNS configuration, and content delivery can affect the experience, but a platform move is not automatically necessary. A migration needs a plan for URLs, redirects, forms, account ownership, domain records, and rollback. Paid services and usage limits are reviewed separately rather than promised away.
Report the result and its limits.
The handover records what changed, what was tested, and what still needs attention. A controlled test is useful evidence but not a guarantee for every user or future visit. Content changes, device differences, networks, and third-party services can alter results, so ongoing measurement may be appropriate.
