Google Page Speed Online Review

Find out if your website page's are quick enough with Google's Page Speed Online

There’s a new tool in Google Labs

Google have recently developed a page speed tool you can use to test how fast your website’s pages are.

It is a very easy tool to use and you get a score out of a 100 in terms of how quickly the pages work. It does not test things like server speed or traffic on the internet, it is purely focused on the workings of the page and measures things like image size, the content and how quickly it loads external objects like CSS style sheets.

Google Page Speed Tool Review — 1 Comment

  1. Important to note that the Google webpage speed tool doesn’t actually measure the speed at which any page loads, all it does is look at whether good practice is used such as losslessly compressing images, minifying html and css etc, setting late expiry dates and so on.
    So effectively you can get a really high score (my site gets 91) but still have a site that loads more slowly than your competitors.

    Its a useful tool, for sure, for optimising the content you have, but it shouldn’t really been seen as a speed measurement tool, and is probably badly named by google. Use in conjunction with google tools performance overview (or say, firebug in firefox) it can be useful to get an overview of how fast your site is, and if any adjustments you make improve the speed.

    The add-on for browsers is really useful, it can actually output improved versions of everything on the site, from jscript and html to images, without actually altering the visible content. Again though, this doesn’t mean your site will be running “fast” but just that what is there is running as fast as it is likely to be able to, without altering the actual content.
