Understanding Your Page Speed Results

Our Page Speed Checker provides comprehensive insights into your website’s performance across multiple dimensions. Here’s how to interpret and make the most of your results:

Core Web Vitals

The tool analyzes three critical metrics that Google uses to evaluate your website’s user experience:

  1. Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)

    • Measures loading performance
    • Target: Under 2.5 seconds for a good user experience
    • Shows when your main content has loaded
  2. First Input Delay (FID)

    • Measures interactivity
    • Target: Under 100 milliseconds
    • Indicates how quickly your site responds to user interactions
  3. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)

    • Measures visual stability
    • Target: Under 0.1
    • Helps identify unexpected layout shifts

Performance Metrics

The detailed performance breakdown includes:

  • Time to First Byte (TTFB): Initial server response time
  • First Contentful Paint (FCP): When the first content appears
  • Speed Index: How quickly content is visually displayed
  • Total Blocking Time: Impact of scripts on interactivity

Why Page Speed Matters

Website speed is crucial for several reasons:

  • User Experience: Faster sites provide a better user experience, reducing bounce rates and increasing engagement
  • SEO Rankings: Google uses page speed as a ranking factor, especially on mobile
  • Conversion Rates: Faster sites typically have higher conversion rates
  • Mobile Performance: With most traffic coming from mobile devices, speed is essential for mobile users

Common Speed Issues and Solutions

Render-Blocking Resources

Problem: JavaScript and CSS files that block the rendering of your page.

Solution: Defer non-critical JavaScript, inline critical CSS, and use async loading where appropriate.

Image Optimization

Problem: Large, unoptimized images slow down page loading.

Solution: Compress images, use modern formats like WebP, implement lazy loading, and serve appropriately sized images.

Server Response Time

Problem: Slow server response increases Time to First Byte (TTFB).

Solution: Upgrade hosting, implement caching, use a CDN, and optimize database queries.

Excessive JavaScript

Problem: Heavy JavaScript slows down parsing, execution, and interactivity.

Solution: Reduce unnecessary code, split code into smaller chunks, and defer non-critical scripts.
