The speed test will measure page load time, TTFB, Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), and provide actionable tips to improve your Core Web Vitals score.
What does a website speed test measure?
A website speed test loads your page from an external network and reports key performance metrics. These include Time to First Byte (TTFB), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Contentful Paint (FCP), and total page weight — all critical for both user experience and Google search rankings.
Google uses Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) as a ranking signal. A slow-loading website loses visitors and ranks lower in search results. Use a speed test regularly to catch regressions before they hurt your traffic.
How to improve your website speed
- Compress and convert images to WebP format to reduce file size.
- Lazy load images and videos that appear below the fold.
- Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML to remove unused code.
- Enable Gzip or Brotli compression on your web server.
- Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to serve files closer to users.
- Defer or async non-critical JavaScript to unblock page rendering.
- Preload critical fonts and above-the-fold resources.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions people ask before using this tool.
What does a website speed test measure?
A website speed test loads your URL from an external network and reports timing metrics such as Time to First Byte (TTFB), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Contentful Paint (FCP), total page weight, and request count — useful for diagnosing slow pages and improving Core Web Vitals.
Why do speed test scores change between runs?
Network congestion, CDN cache state, server load, active A/B tests, geolocation of the test server, and third-party ad scripts all vary between runs. Run multiple tests and track trends over time rather than relying on a single result.
How do I make my website faster?
Compress and convert images to WebP, lazy-load media below the fold, minimize and defer JavaScript, enable Gzip/Brotli compression on your server, use a CDN, and eliminate render-blocking resources. Page speed directly affects both user retention and SEO rankings.
What are Core Web Vitals and why do they matter?
Core Web Vitals are Google's standardized user experience metrics: LCP (Largest Contentful Paint, measures load speed), INP (Interaction to Next Paint, measures responsiveness), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift, measures visual stability). Google uses these as ranking signals in search results.
What is a good page load time?
Google recommends LCP under 2.5 seconds for a "Good" score. TTFB should be under 800ms. Pages that load in under 1 second feel instant to users. Every 100ms of additional load time can reduce conversion rates — especially on mobile networks.
How does page speed affect SEO rankings?
Google includes Core Web Vitals in its Page Experience ranking signals. Slow pages rank lower than fast pages when all other factors are equal. Beyond rankings, faster pages reduce bounce rates, increase time on site, and improve conversion — all signals Google uses to evaluate page quality.
