Arc of Northern Virginia achieves a 100% Page Speed Score with Blacksmith Agency

The Arc of Northern Virginia, a nonprofit organization, faced significant challenges with its website, which was hindered by severe performance issues. Slow load times and an outdated front-end build created barriers for users seeking essential resources. The Blacksmith Agency was engaged for a comprehensive web development project to address these problems.

The solution implemented by the Blacksmith Agency involved creating a lean and efficient codebase, optimizing all assets and scripts, and improving server response times. This technical overhaul resulted in a perfect 100% PageSpeed score, a 97% reduction in Largest Contentful Paint, and an 84% reduction in fully loaded time, ensuring the nonprofit's resources are now fast and accessible.
