What we analyze

Features

PageSpeed Insights

Live Google audits for mobile and desktop — performance score and lab data for your URL.

Performance score breakdown

See how load time, page weight, and request count affect your overall score.

Core Web Vitals

LCP, INP, and CLS measured against Google's thresholds for ranking signals.

Mobile-friendly check

Whether your layout passes Google's mobile usability requirements.

Largest contentful paint

How long your hero image or headline takes to render — often the biggest mobile bottleneck.

Caching & best practices

Signals from the audit that point to render-blocking scripts, image weight, and caching gaps.

What you'll get

Best practices

Your result

Site Scores Below 70

At risk of poor rankings

Google uses mobile PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals as ranking signals. Scores below 70 put you behind faster competitors.

Poor user experience

Slow pages increase bounce rates. Visitors leave before your content loads — especially on mobile.

Wasted resources

Unoptimised images, plugin bloat, and missing caching burn server resources and ad spend driving traffic to a slow site.

A faster website = better rankings, more traffic, and higher conversions.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this speed test free?
Yes — completely free, no account required. Run as many tests as you like.
What's a good WordPress speed score?
90+ is excellent. 70–89 needs improvement but won't significantly hurt rankings. Below 70 is where Google starts to penalise in rankings and visitors start to leave before the page loads.
Why does my score differ between desktop and mobile?
Google scores desktop and mobile separately. Mobile scores are almost always lower because mobile devices have less processing power and slower connections. Google primarily uses the mobile score for ranking signals.
How often should I test my WordPress speed?
After any major plugin or theme update, after adding new functionality, and at least monthly as part of routine maintenance. Speed degradation often happens gradually — one slow plugin update at a time.
What's the fastest way to improve my WordPress score?
Enable caching, optimise your hero image, and defer render-blocking JavaScript. These three changes typically improve LCP by 2–3 seconds and can push a 50-scoring site above 70 within an hour.
Does site speed affect SEO?
Yes directly. Core Web Vitals are a confirmed Google ranking signal. Pages that pass all three thresholds get a ranking advantage. Pages with poor LCP in particular tend to rank lower than content-equivalent pages that load fast.
