Website Speed Test

Check page load time, analyze performance metrics, and get optimization suggestions.

Tips for Testing Website Speed

Get meaningful, actionable results:

Run Multiple Tests: Network conditions fluctuate. Run 3-5 tests and look at the median, not the best or worst result. A single fast load might just be a lucky cache hit.
TTFB Tells You About the Server: Time to First Byte measures how long the server takes to start responding. A high TTFB (>500ms) usually means slow backend processing — address this before optimizing frontend assets.
Test Specific Pages, Not Just the Homepage: Your homepage might be optimized while inner pages are heavy with unoptimized images and third-party scripts. Test the pages your users actually visit most.
Compare With and Without Caching: First visit (cold cache) shows the worst-case experience for new users. Subsequent visits show the best case. Both matter — optimize for the cold case first.

How to Read Speed Test Results

Numbers alone don't tell the story — context does:

Load Time under 2s: Good. Users stay engaged. Focus on maintaining this as you add features.
Load Time 2-4s: At risk. Every additional second of load time drops conversion rates by ~7%. Audit images, scripts, and third-party embeds.
Load Time over 4s: Problematic. 53% of mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds. Prioritize reducing total page weight and deferring non-critical scripts.
TTFB under 200ms: Healthy server response. Over 500ms: investigate backend queries, server location, or hosting plan.
