Why website speed testing matters
Website speed affects visitors, enquiries, mobile use, and how quickly search engines can review pages. A slow result may come from the domain connection, hosting, secure connection, page processing, heavy files, or outside services. This check helps identify where delays may begin.
Common website speed test use cases
Use this tool after launching a site, changing hosting, installing plugins, adding visitor tracking, enabling caching, or troubleshooting slow pages. Compare results before and after a change to see whether the first response, full request time, and page size improved.
What to check next
After the speed test, use the Page Size Checker to review page weight and the HTTP Headers Inspector to review caching and delivery settings. For WordPress, use the WordPress Speed Check to identify common page, theme, plugin, and caching concerns.
