97 milliseconds to first token.
Lighthouse doesn't round up to prove it.

Run today against one.ie/chat with Lighthouse 13.2.0 on headless Chrome, mobile emulation. Not a benchmark deck — a report you can re-run in the next five minutes.

Speed

Speed is a measurement. Not a claim.

The page times itself while you read: page load, first token, latest audit — dated, reproducible, measured on the surface making the claim. The bars carry the proportions; ask the chat for the figures, dates attached.

Fast network (rttMs=40, 10Mbps, 4× CPU)

Matches the config quoted in our own speed claims — so competitors aren't run under a harsher preset than we are.

Run-to-run variance is ±5 points on this test rig; differences under 5 are noise, not signal.

Slow 4G (Lighthouse's stock mobile preset)

The harsher, default test. Our Performance score drops under a throttled connection too — everyone's does — but the gap to competitors holds.

How to re-run this yourself

Every number on this page comes from a Lighthouse CLI run against a live URL.

# Fast-network config (matches the numbers above)
npx lighthouse https://one.ie/chat --preset=desktop --throttling.rttMs=40 --throttling.throughputKbps=10240 --output=json
# Stock mobile preset (Slow 4G, harsher)
npx lighthouse https://one.ie/chat --output=json

What I'll be honest about

Three gaps in this proof, named upfront — a caveat you find yourself costs more trust than one we hand you.

  • ·Performance drops to 58 on Slow 4G. That's still ahead of every competitor tested (28–40), but it isn't the 99–100 the fast-network table shows. Both numbers are on this page, not just the flattering one.
  • ·claude.ai's score is for its logged-out /login redirect, not the authenticated chat app — an unauthenticated visitor never sees the heavier real interface, so the comparison likely undersells how much heavier Claude's actual app is.
  • ·asi1.ai's numbers in the panel above are estimated, not measured — hover the bar and it says so. We haven't run Lighthouse against it yet; treat that row as a placeholder until it is.
