What the test shows you

Every file your page downloads, how big it is and how long it takes, then the changes that would make the biggest difference.

Load time & waterfall

Server response time, total load time, and a waterfall chart showing when each file starts, how long it waits and how long it takes to download.

Page size & requests

How much your page weighs and what makes it heavy: images, scripts, fonts and styles, split between your own files and other companies' servers.

Best-practice grade

Twelve checks, including compression, browser caching, image sizes, render-blocking scripts, redirects, HTTP/2 and lazy loading, each with a plain-English fix.

Why page speed matters

Slow pages lose visitors before they've seen anything, and it's worst on mobile, where connections are slower and patience shorter. If you pay for ads, every visitor who leaves while the page is loading is money spent for nothing.

Speed is also part of how Google ranks pages. The good news: most slow sites are slow for the same few reasons, usually oversized images, too many scripts and no caching, and those are fixable.

FAQ

Page speed questions

What does the speed test measure?

We load your page and every file it asks for (stylesheets, scripts, images, fonts), the way a browser would, and time each one. You get the total load time, page size, number of requests and a waterfall chart, plus a grade from 12 best-practice checks such as compression, caching, image sizes and render-blocking scripts.

How is this different from Google PageSpeed Insights?

PageSpeed Insights runs a full browser and reports Core Web Vitals. This test is closer to Pingdom or GTmetrix: it shows exactly which files your page downloads, how big they are and how long each takes, with fixes in plain English. Both are worth using; they answer different questions.

Why is my load time different from other tools?

Every test runs from a different place on a different connection, and tools measure different moments. We time how long the page and its files take to download from our server. Use the same tool before and after a change to compare like with like.

What is a good page size?

Under 1 MB is excellent and under 2 MB is fine for most business sites. Images are usually the biggest part, so resizing them and saving them as WebP is often the quickest win.

Does it test files loaded by JavaScript?

No. We read the HTML and CSS and download what they name, but we don't run JavaScript, so files a script adds later (chat widgets, some analytics, app code) aren't included. Most of a typical page's weight is named in the HTML.

What do you store when I run a test?

The address tested (without any query string), the results and the time. We don't store your IP address; rate limits use a one-way hash of it. Public lists show the domain only, and only if you tick the box.
