Website speed test

Website speed test: is your site fast enough to win the job?

Customers often look you up on a phone with a weak signal. If your site is slow to load, they leave before they see your number. Enter your website and we'll check its real speed and tell you what it means in plain English. You see the result with no signup.

Just the address. We'll add the https:// for you.

No signup needed to see your score.

Why speed wins you jobs

Google's study of mobile sites (The need for mobile speed, 2016) found that 53% of visits were abandoned when a page took longer than three seconds to load. For a trade business, each of those is a customer who was ready to call and rang a competitor whose site loaded first. A faster site keeps more of those callers.

Questions about this speed test

Is this really free?

Yes. The speed score is free and there's no signup to see it. We build websites and lead tools for trade businesses, and a free tool like this is how we introduce ourselves.

Where do these numbers come from?

We run Google's PageSpeed Insights test against your site. Where Google has enough real-visitor data for your site, we show that; otherwise we run a single live lab test and tell you which one you're looking at.

My site feels fine to me. Why does it score low?

You're usually testing it on good wifi, on a device that has already stored the page. Your customers open it cold, on a phone and on mobile data. That's a much harder test, and it's the one that decides whether they wait or leave.

What actually makes a trade website slow?

The usual causes are large photos that were never resized, a heavy page builder or template, too many plugins, or slow hosting. Most of these can be fixed without a full rebuild.

What is a good result on a page speed test?

Google rates a page as good when its main content shows within 2.5 seconds, its layout shift score is 0.1 or less and it responds to a tap within 200 milliseconds. Those are Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds, published on web.dev. The test above reads all three.
