About website speed & core web vitals tools
Speed affects how visitors experience your site, and Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP and CLS) are part of how Google assesses page experience. Start with the Core Web Vitals checker to see real-user field data from the Chrome UX Report, then use the page speed test and the focused checks for render-blocking resources, page weight, images, caching and lazy loading to find the causes.
Most tools here run Lighthouse through Google PageSpeed Insights or request the page from our server, so they work on public URLs only. Lab scores vary between runs; when field data and lab data disagree, field data reflects what real users experience.
Frequently asked questions
What are good Core Web Vitals scores?
Google rates a page as good when, at the 75th percentile of real users, Largest Contentful Paint is 2.5 seconds or less, Interaction to Next Paint is 200 milliseconds or less and Cumulative Layout Shift is 0.1 or less. INP replaced First Input Delay in March 2024. Field data comes from the Chrome UX Report over 28 days.
Why does my PageSpeed score change every time?
Lighthouse lab tests run on a simulated device and network, and results vary with server response, third-party scripts, network conditions and test location. Run a test a few times and look at the trend. For SEO decisions, rely more on the real-user Core Web Vitals field data than on a single lab score.
Can these tools test pages behind a login?
No. The speed tools fetch pages from our server or through Google PageSpeed Insights, so they can only test publicly reachable URLs. For staging or logged-in pages, run Lighthouse locally in Chrome DevTools instead. You can also deploy a temporary public preview URL and test that before going live.
