About PageSpeed Insights
PageSpeed Insights is a free tool from Google that tests how quickly a web page loads. You enter a page address and it returns a performance report with suggestions for improvement.
What it does
You paste in a page address and the tool runs an analysis. The report shows scores and metrics for loading speed and user experience, and it lists changes that could make the page faster. It shows results for mobile and desktop, so you can start with the slowest parts of the page.
Key features
- Speed analysis for any public page address
- Performance score with key loading metrics
- Separate mobile and desktop results
- Suggested fixes for slow loading
Who it's for
Web developers and designers who want pages to load faster. SEO specialists also use it, because page speed can affect how a site is seen in search.
Pricing and good to know
PageSpeed Insights is free and runs in the browser, so you do not need to install anything. Results come from a single test run and can change between runs, so repeat tests give a fairer picture. It checks only the page you enter, not your whole site.
Highlights
- Analyze any public page by entering its address
