this firm sector median leader
Knight Frank Bristol trails CJ Hole by 65 points across 5 pillars, but 60% of that is Speed & CWV and Content & trust alone. It already matches or beats the leader on AI search presence.
Largest Contentful Paint measured two ways: one throttled lab run, against 28 days of real Chrome users.
Lab (Lighthouse, mobile)
11.7s
one throttled load on a datacentre machine
Field (real users)
4.2s
75th percentile of actual Chrome visitors over 28 days
The lab figure is 2.8× the real-user figure. Both agree there is a problem, and the field data confirms real visitors are affected. This is worth fixing. The metric failing for real users is loading (LCP) and responsiveness (INP).
