This URL redirects to https://simcast.com/.

Lighthouse follows the redirect, so the numbers below describe the destination page, not this one. The destination has not been consistent across recent runs — that pattern usually means an A/B test or a geo split rather than a move.

The measuring machine was faster than most in this project.

Lighthouse benchmark index was 3,402, 37% faster than this project's median of 2,486. CPU-bound metrics — TBT, TTI, main thread work — are affected by this and may have moved without the site changing at all.

Lab data is measured using Lighthouse, Mobile mode unless otherwise specified. Field data is reported from Chrome UX Report (using p75 measurements).
