A mission-critical storefront that fails over in five seconds
Opperman & Son sells trucks and trailers nationwide; the website is the business. It needed inventory workflows for staff and as close to zero downtime as the budget allowed.

Lighthouse for your whole sitemap, not one page at a time
Lighthouse audits one page at a time; real sites have hundreds. I wanted statistics across an entire site — and to stop clicking.
