Case Study: Sun Mountain Lodge achieves a 90+ Lighthouse score and improved SEO with Ravenna Interactive's custom WordPress theme

Sun Mountain Lodge boosts Lighthouse score to 91 with Ravenna Interactive

Sun Mountain Lodge, a Washington resort, approached Ravenna Interactive with significant challenges following a new website launch. Their SEO performance had severely declined, and their new WordPress site was difficult to maintain despite using the CMS. The site also suffered from poor performance, with a Lighthouse score in the 60s.

Ravenna Interactive re-implemented the WordPress site using a custom theme built with best practices. They streamlined the site by removing over 20 plugins, used Vite for asset compiling, and implemented Webp image conversion. The solution made content management easy for the authors and dramatically improved performance, achieving a Lighthouse score over 90. The project successfully resolved the SEO issues without requiring an ongoing retainer.
