Running Your Own Website Speed Test

Before making any changes to your site, it is a good idea to run a page speed test, to establish a baseline. There is plenty of speed testing tools available, ranging from web services to browser extensions. The most popular tools include:

• Google PageSpeed Insights
• WebPagetest.org
• Pingdom Website Speed Test
• YSlow browser extension

All of these tools have similar features and give you both measurements and scores, as well as a list of suggested areas for improvement. PageSpeed Insights also gives you mobile statistics.
