Here are the best page speed tests, powerful tools to measure site speed and page loading times online, to help you identify slow pages and understand strategies to increase Page speed and improve site loading times. Superfast websites are essential now<\/a> for search engine optimization, as Google algorithms do consider site speed in page search engine rankings.<\/p>\n

Here is a\u00a0choice of popular Page speed checking services which will help you optimize site speed for better performance and superior visitor experience. We have tested our site on these tools to show you some screenshots. We commonly use these services to assess our site performance.<\/p>\n

1. Google PageSpeed Insights<\/h2>\n

This is the official tool By Google to test the page speed of your site. To use\u00a0Google Pagespeed Insights<\/a>, simply enter the URL which you want to test, and this Google tool will give the Page speed scores\u00a0for both mobile and desktop view\u00a0of that page. The desktop and mobile speeds\u00a0are especially useful (especially since responsive site\u00a0designs<\/a>\u00a0have blurred the difference) and a fast desktop site might actually be a very slow mobile site.<\/p>\n

It will suggest page optimization tips that can make the pages load faster. The page speed suggestions are also linked to resource pages so that you can understand what site modifications can make your pages load faster.

2. WebPageTest<\/h2>\n

This site speed testing tool called WebPageTest<\/a> provides an in-depth analysis of your site page load times and can provide detailed graphs and charts so that you understand clearly which site elements are slowing your site. It also provides score gradings based on five different parameters like the first-time byte, keep-alive enabled, compressed transfer, compress images, cached static content and effective use of CDN.<\/p>\n

It also provides a full optimization checklist with detailed analysis, Waterfall view<\/strong>, content breakdown of site elements – to help assess what can be modified to speed up your site. It also gives an idea of page load times on the first load and on repeat page loading, which can be useful for detailed interpretation.<\/p>\n

3. GTmetrix<\/h2>\n

GTmetrix<\/a> is a useful tool that provides an in-depth analysis of the many speed parameters. It compares scores of Google Page speed with Yahoo! Yslow page load times, and a comparison of both gives a good idea, as the data provided is different and you site might be slow on one and fast on the other.<\/p>\n

Based on both these scores, the tool gives page speed optimization recommendations based on several parameters and how the scores can be improved. It also provides a waterfall view and page load timeline.<\/p>\n
