However, it’s important to understand what the score means in terms of your business, alongside performance reports from a variety of other locations. Many people strive for a perfect 100/100 score on Google, whether it’s because a client demands it or because Google largely governs SEO so Google’s tool appears to hold more weight. Therefore a newer device, on a fast network, may not see your website the same way PageSpeed Insights reports. The test leverages a mid-tier device on a mobile network, meaning it tests your site for performance from a single device and fixed set of network conditions. Google PageSpeed Insights can be used when benchmarking page performance, however we do not recommend using it as your only speed test.
Having a more complete picture of a web page arms your team with enough information to target and correct issues efficiently across more browsers, more devices and more users. Some common examples include, Pingdom, WP Engine Page Performance and Google PageSpeed Insights. We recommend using a combination of services as they will test from a variety of locations and server types, helping to build a more complete picture of a website’s performance. As we discussed in “ Optimizing WordPress for Speed and Performance”, one of the first steps to make a site faster is to measure how the site is currently performing. Benchmarking pagespeed is a great way to determine the efficacy and performance of your WordPress website.
