geckIT publishes an OWL website study based on 21,158 analysed websites

In a first-party article published on 1 April 2026, geckIT presents technical findings from a study covering 21,158 business websites across OWL, drawn from a collected set of 27,025 businesses. The article describes checks including HTTPS, mobile readiness, SEO basics, structured data, AI-readiness signals, CMS and performance, and explains methodological limitations such as analysing only homepages in a one-time scan. It also offers a free individual website audit. The study provides regional context for geckIT’s website and technical-improvement work; its population-level findings are not claims about any individual buyer’s site.
