Top 10 best website speed test tools

The goal of every website owner is to get traffic to their site, and site speed plays an important role in this. If a site loads quickly, visitors are more likely to stick around, read your content, and ultimately convert. But if your website takes too long to load, you risk losing the attention that you commanded enough to convince a person to visit your site. Long page load time can increase your bounce rate, the rate at which users exit your site before clicking through to another page on your site.

Additionally, website speed is a significant factor in Google’s algorithm. Fast-loading websites can expect to rank higher in the SERPs. The faster the site, the more chances you’ll have at landing on the highly coveted first page. When using a web load test tool, it’s important to keep as many variables as constant as possible, including testing with the same location. Also run the test again and again, you might get different results each time, so it’s important to run it more than once until you have consistency.

Here are the top 10 best website speed test tools.

Contents

  • 1. Pingdom Website Speed Test
  • 2. Google PageSpeed Insights
  • 3. Google Test My Site
  • 4. Google Analytics Site Speed
  • 5. Google Lighthouse
  • 6. WebPageTest
  • 7. GTmetrix
  • 8. KeyCDN Website Speed Test
  • 9. Dareboast
  • 10. Uptrends Website Speed Test

1. Pingdom Website Speed Test

Pingdom Website Speed Test is designed to help make your site faster by identifying what about a webpage is fast, slow, too big, and so on. Multiple test locations mean you can test your site’s speed from different locations globally. Ensure your page loads on time, every time with deep analysis of every single site element (HTML, JavaScript, CSS, etc.) as often as every 30 minutes.

2. Google PageSpeed Insights

PageSpeed Insights is a tool from Google that analyzes the content of a web page, then generates suggestions to make that page faster. The tool reports on the performance of a page on both mobile and desktop devices, and provides both lab and field data about a page. Lab data is useful for debugging performance issues, as it is collected in a controlled environment. 

3. Google Test My Site

Test My Site is a no charge tool provided by Google which assesses the speed of your mobile site and provides recommendations to enhance your mobile site experience. The tool uses data from Lighthouse to offer custom recommendations to improve your page speed and site speed along with best practices and recommended resources to improve your overall experience based on what matters to customers/visitors.

4. Google Analytics Site Speed

Page Timings report lets you perform detailed analysis of individual page performance. Site Speed Suggestions are optimization tips tailored to your site. You can implement these tips to make your pages load faster. User Timings report lets you perform detailed analysis of individual resource performance (e.g., images, videos, buttons).

No changes to the tracking code are necessary to see data in the Page Timings and Speed Suggestions reports. The User Timings report requires additional setup. To see the Site Speed reports follow these steps.

  1. Sign in to Google Analytics
  2. Navigate to your desired account, property, and view
    • Click ‘Admin’

  2. In Google Chrome, go to the URL you want to check the site speed for
  3. Right-click an element on the page and select ‘Inspect’ to jump into the ‘Elements’ panel. Or press Command+Option+C (Mac) or Control+Shift+C (Windows, Linux, Chrome OS)
  4. Click the ‘Lighthouse’ tab
  5. DevTools shows you a list of audit categories. Leave ‘Performance’ or all of them enabled
  6. Click ‘Generate report’

  7. After 30 to 60 seconds, Lighthouse gives you a report on the page including the speed of the website under ‘Performance’ audit category

6. WebPageTest
