Heavy images have nowhere to hide.

Monitor checks LFW.com's discovered public pages for performance, including blog articles, alongside accessibility. A new image-size check flags heavy images and responsive variants.

Desktop and mobile performance checks cover the public inventory. Failed measurements stay visible in the coverage report.

An image over 1 MiB raises a finding; one over 5 MiB raises a serious finding. Shared images are measured once and linked to each affected page.

Features

Accessibility beyond a sample.

LFW.com now checks discovered public pages for accessibility independently of its performance sample. That includes blog articles, translated pages, and public pages kept out of search results.

Each public URL is checked at desktop and mobile widths. A problem on either view needs attention; missing pages and failed measurements are not counted as passes.

The published coverage distinguishes accessibility checks from the smaller performance sample. Automated checks still need human review of keyboard use, assistive technology, and interactive states.

Features

Clearer structure for assistive technology.

The quote form now has one clear main content area. Table headers in the sample report and audit schedule are labeled, and report indicators and filter groups have clearer accessible names.

Our target for LFW.com is 100 on automated accessibility checks. Any lower page score or confirmed issue is flagged for remediation, even when a rounded site average looks fine.

Automated checks are only part of the work. Items that need manual review remain separate, and a score of 100 is not a whole-site accessibility certificate.

One topic at a time.

Our audience pages now move through responsibilities, delivery, fees, and questions in a clear sequence. Related items sit together, instead of unrelated sections competing in uneven columns.

On phones, the same sequence reads straight down the page. Paragraphs keep a comfortable width, and the shared improvement carries through the English, Spanish, and French pages.

The opening responsibilities and delivery sections on the advocacy page, at the same desktop size. The before image is from the live original; the after image is from the updated source preview. In the new layout, fees and FAQs follow below the cropped view.

The advocacy page puts responsibilities and fees in one column, with delivery steps and questions at different heights in another.

Unrelated sections compete in two columns.
Responsibilities form one complete section, followed by a separate delivery section with three related steps.

Straight to the next articles.

Page numbers and previous or next links now load the next set of blog posts in place, then bring the first new article into view below the header. No trip back through the introduction.

The address updates as you browse, and Back and Forward take you through the archive. Search and topic choices carry forward without resetting the forms on the page.

The same improvement works in English, Spanish, and French. Ordinary page links remain available for direct visits, new tabs, and browsers without JavaScript.

The same action on a phone: open the blog and choose page 2. The original live page returns to the introduction; the updated source preview lands at the new articles. Both are actual browser captures with identical article content.

After choosing blog page 2, the original page starts at the blog introduction, with the first article near the bottom of the screen.

Another page, back at the introduction.
After the same page 2 click, the first new article sits just below the fixed blue header, with more posts visible underneath.

A lighter way through the history.

The changelog now opens with twelve updates. Load another batch when you want to keep reading, or use the page links to move through the archive.

Older entries are fetched on request instead of being included in the opening page. Month and category links still cover the complete history, and shared updates have their own permanent pages.

Before-and-after screenshots and enlarged previews continue to work in newly loaded updates. Ordinary page links also work without JavaScript.

The same 63-update archive before these announcements were added: the live original page and an isolated preview of the new pagination. Both show the end of the same twelfth update on a phone.

The twelfth update flows directly into another update, with the full archive already in the page.

The same update ends with a Load older updates button, a visible progress count, and numbered page links.

A solid blue header, again.

We tried a translucent header. Leland preferred the solid blue, especially over blue sections, so we brought it back.

The header still follows you as you scroll. Only the background treatment has changed.

The translucent blue header lets some of the homepage photograph show through.

Just a little bit of polish.

We tried a touch of translucency in the blue header, letting the page show through while the lettering and buttons stayed solid.

Update: we later returned to solid LFW Blue. Leland preferred how it looked over blue sections.

The same public page and scroll position, with the original solid background and the new translucent one. Reconstructed from the two header styles.

Fewer lines, clearer sections.

Removed redundant closing lines beneath the questions on our audience pages and in the brand color guide. Dividers still separate questions and sections, without extra rules across empty space.

The shared audience-page improvement also applies to the Spanish and French versions. The questions, answers, and expandable details are unchanged.

The embassies page captured on a phone-sized viewport, then the same view with the exact updated styles applied in a browser preview before deployment.

The last two embassy questions followed by three gray closing lines with empty space between them.

See what was checked, not just a score.

Monitor now separates its public-page inventory from its desktop and mobile browser sample. Review indexing conflicts, page metadata, redirects, and the evidence behind a finding, with clear counts for checked, skipped, and unavailable pages.

Record intentional exceptions and add read-only checks for important page journeys. Browser checks can flag layout overflow, failed resources, and script errors without submitting a form or sending a message.

The Client Portal shows scan coverage alongside the findings selected for the client. A score describes the measured sample, not a promise that every page or interaction is perfect.

The Monitor guide explains the expanded checks, what needs configuration, and what automated testing cannot confirm. Start with a free audit or request a quote for ongoing monitoring.
