Why this teardown

A website builder's own homepage is a showcase, so every missed basic here is a missed sales argument. On 21 October 2026 the homepage scored 84/100. Safe and legal is the strong suit at 100; speed is the weak one at 65. Of six questions a customer might ask an AI assistant, Webflow is likely to be cited for 6. Autopilot could fix 3 of the 6 issues without a developer.
