I have an easy question. I hope someone might know the way to do that. Anyways I need a tool to check out my website loading speed. Which tools do you use guys? I found something which I would like to try. Please let me know your reply.
As previous comments mentioned, Pagespeed Insight and Pingdom.
Also I would like to add https://gtmetrix.com/
In my opinion, those tools should give you an idea only and not be used as definite answers.
As there are various factors that affects the load speed for each user around the world. Like distance from origin server and users internet speed.
I would like to add, test different pages on your website not only homepage. In my case Homepage is pretty fast but when it comes to sub-pages the score/speed differs quite a bit.
note: with the tool i have mentioned, page load may differ from one test to another for unclear reasons.
There are a few online tools to check the load time of website my suggestion is https://gtmetrix.com/ which show your suggestions for minimizing the load time
ookla provides the speed test for internet
cox communications too provide this facility
also now a days service providers have their own apps to test internet speed
Pingdom Website Speed Test is fast and gives a very good analysis of what website elements are loaded and which ones take too much time to load. If you use Wordpress, then you may use the plugin āAutoptimizeā which will really reduces loading time.ā If you use it, then you may have to disable similar settings from your other cache plugins.
I prefer webpagetest because i think it clears cache after every test so you get a more accurate first visit load time after site changes. I donāt think the other tests recommended in this thread regularly clear test cache. And partner companies and even regular users can offer their devices for testing which makes the results more āreal worldā versus the other test sites that use servers hosted in a perfect static environment. I use it because first visit is more important than repeat visit for my purposes.
Instead of using a website or tool, you can also look at the chrome developer tools and see the network tab. It will show you load speeds of all the object on the page so you can see if anything is specifically slowing down the load time of your page. Example screenshot is attached.
Google Page Speed is the bestā¦ I used pingdom and Gmetrix and although they seem detailed with their results, I broke my site a few times trying to fix their suggestionsā¦ Google Page Speed gives you the basics in what you need to fix and I ended up with pretty great speed on my website with their suggestions.
