Why I’m building WebCore
Most small business websites just sit there. I can say that with numbers, because WebCore measures them every month.
What we measured
The Ontario Trades Web Index, October 2026 edition: 295 trade and clinic websites across 15 Ontario towns, tested with Google PageSpeed Insights on a mid-range Android phone over slow 4G.
- The median site takes 6.8 seconds to show its headline on a phone. Google calls 2.5 seconds good.
- 92% take longer than three seconds.
- The median mobile score is 62 out of 100. Only 9% reach 90.
- 48% publish no business details a search engine can read: no hours, no address, no phone.
Google’s own research found that 53% of mobile visits are abandoned when a page takes longer than three seconds to load.
What it costs an owner
A slow website loses customers before it has said anything. The owner rarely finds out, because the site looks fine on the laptop it was built on, and a phone on a weak signal is nobody’s test.
Nobody is to blame. A website gets built, the builder moves on, and nobody is paid to keep it fast.
What WebCore does about it
WebCore gives an owner an AI for revenue instead of a website to manage. It builds a fast site and keeps it fast. It answers visitors when the owner is busy and saves every enquiry as a lead.
It writes and sends the newsletter, and it shows which visits came from real people and which came from robots. The owner asks for changes in plain words, in WebCore or on Telegram.
Why now
Building software like this used to take a team and a lot of money. AI changed what it costs to build. It did not change how little time a small business owner has to run a website.
WebCore is built for that gap. It went live on 1 October 2026, and it starts in Ontario, where the Index already measures the market every month.
