How fast is your website, really?

Enter your web address and we’ll test it with Google’s own speed data, then explain every number in plain English so you know exactly what’s slowing you down and what to fix first.

lockThe address you enter is sent to Google’s PageSpeed Insights API to measure it. We don’t store it.

A slow website costs you work before anyone reads a word. Most people give up if a page takes more than a few seconds, and Google uses speed as a ranking signal, so a sluggish site is harder to find in the first place. The trouble is that “slow” is invisible from the outside: you just see a quiet inbox and assume that’s normal.

This tool runs your page through Google PageSpeed Insights, the same engine Google uses to measure real-world performance. It gives you an honest performance score out of 100 and the underlying Core Web Vitals, then translates each one into plain English so you know whether the problem is heavy images, slow hosting, or too much code loading at once. Check both desktop and mobile, since mobile is where most local customers find you and where slow sites hurt most.

Scores move around a little between runs, so treat them as a guide rather than a stopwatch to the millisecond. If your number is low, don’t panic: the fixes are usually straightforward. If you’d rather not wrestle with it yourself, that’s what we’re here for.

Common questions

Is the website speed test free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no limit. Enter your web address and you get your results straight away.
How accurate is the speed test?
It runs on Google PageSpeed Insights, the same engine Google uses to measure real-world performance, so the numbers are the real thing. Scores move a little between runs, so treat them as a guide rather than an exact stopwatch.
What is a good website speed score?
A score of 90 or above is fast (green), 50 to 89 means there is room to improve, and below 50 is slow enough to be costing you visitors. Focus on your mobile score first, since that is how most local customers see you.
Why is my mobile score lower than my desktop score?
The test simulates a mid-range phone on a slower connection, which is tougher than a laptop on broadband. A lower mobile score is normal, but it is also the one that matters most, because most people search on their phones.
What slows a website down, and what should I fix first?
The usual culprits are large unoptimised images, slow or cheap hosting, and too much code or too many plugins loading at once. Start with the opportunities listed in your results, as they are ranked by the time they would save.
