Quick answer: Champion Air is live on Hydra OS as of May 1, 2026. Family-owned Valley HVAC. Dave Lennox Award-winning dealer serving Scottsdale, Surprise, and greater Phoenix.

Peak season does not wait for another WordPress patch

The featured record shows organic traffic plunging roughly 75% after a December 2025 "optimization" (about 4,500 visits a month down to 1,200), driven by thin content and merged service/city pages. Barry Farah on the record: "I'm very upset that we're still on WordPress - we're talking about losing the entire season." CI Web Group committed to a 30-day Hydra OS rebuild that separates services and cities and leads with ventilation expertise plus the family-owned alternative to PE-owned chains. Client messages during the build praised the look and the calculator path. Featured story notes a 91 Lighthouse performance score. Story: Champion Air featured customer.
