Golden I Construction
New York City ยท October 2026
In Lighthouse, 90 to 100 is good. We hold no score for the old site, so no starting figure is shown.
The challenge
The old website had been broken into, and a hacked site cannot simply be tidied up. Google defines hacked content as any content placed on a site without permission, due to vulnerabilities in a site’s security. Once someone else has been able to write to a site, the safe course is to stop trusting what is on it.
The site was also large: 29 pages and 70 articles, each at an address of its own. A rebuild that dropped those addresses would have broken every link and every bookmark that pointed to them.
What we did
We built a clean website to take the old one’s place and wrote its content again.
- A clean site in place of the hacked one. The new site replaced the old one, so nothing planted in the old site came with it.
- 29 pages and 70 articles rewritten. The pages and the articles were written again for the new site.
- Every old address kept. Each page and each article answers at the address it had before, so no visitor and no link arrives at a missing page.
- Built for speed. The new site scores 98 to 100 in Lighthouse on a phone.
Why the old addresses were kept
Keeping an address is safer than moving it. When a page must move, Google’s guidance is to redirect the old address permanently to the new one, to keep the redirect for at least a year, and to expect rankings to fluctuate for a while. It also warns against sending many old addresses to one unrelated page, such as the homepage. When every page stays where it was, none of that is needed.
What the Lighthouse scores mean
Lighthouse is Google’s testing tool for web pages, and it scores a page from 0 to 100. A score of 90 to 100 is good, 50 to 89 needs improvement, and 0 to 49 is poor. Its performance score is a weighted average of measures such as how soon the largest part of the page appears and how much the layout shifts. Scores vary a little from one run to the next, which is why we give the range, 98 to 100, and not a single number.
We test on a phone because Google does. It uses the mobile version of a site’s content for indexing and ranking.
