PageSpeed Insights, also known as PSI, is an online Google tool that evaluates the loading speed of a web page.

Inputting a URL and selecting “Analyze” will swiftly generate a comprehensive report outlining the factors causing slowdown on that webpage, along with suggestions on how to address them.

Page Speed Insights measures and evaluates the performance score of a page for mobile devices and desktop devices.PSI fetches the URL twice—once with a mobile user-agent and once with a desktop user-agent. This dual approach makes PSI an easy-to-use and intuitive solution, and it’s also available at no cost.

The performance is evaluated in a scale of 100. In addition to the Google PageSpeed Insights score, you’ll find various recommendations from Google on enhancing your performance, subsequently boosting both your overall performance and PageSpeed Insights score.

How Google Uses PageSpeed Insights

In addition to influencing your site’s User Experience (UX), performance also plays a role in SEO. Given that PageSpeed Insights is run by the world’s largest and most popular search engine, it stands to reason that your score might have some effect on your Search Engine Results Page (SERP) rankings and at least on Google itself.

The reality is that Google does use PageSpeed Insights to determine rankings. Site speed is a ranking factor. The score from your performance test provides a solid indication of your standing in that regard.

However, Google takes into consideration more than just the number in the circle at the top of your Load Speed results. Hitting a 100/100 won’t guarantee you a top spot on the SERPs.

Data Driven Work

There is no other pattern rather than making the edits and test on the speed tools.

Check their analysis and work on the data they provide.This can be 10ths of times for just one small improvement but this is the only way to do it.

we will be using Google speed tool and GTMetrix mainly, with the latter always being more optimistic. however with the correct edits Google speed tool can be overcomed as well.
I am always working Data Driven. I observe what the Speed Analysis says and work on the specific issues.

I have developed several techniques to solve specific ones but every installation is different.
I will also be tweaking the server if this is possible.

I’ve used Kostas for several projects and each time he gets the job done to the highest standard. He works to get the best result, not the easiest result. Well worth every penny and he’s competitive with his fee. Thumbs up from me for the fourth project now.

What to consider

Reducing overall load time

How long does it take the files required to render the website to download onto the user’s computer? This tends to be affected by latency, how big your files are, how many files there are, and other factors besides. A general strategy is to make your files as small as possible, reduce the number of HTTP requests made as much as possible, and employ clever loading techniques (such as preload) to make files available sooner.

Making the site usable as soon as possible

This basically means loading your website assets in a sensible order so that the user can start to actually use it really quickly. Any other assets can continue to load in the background while the user gets on with primary tasks, and sometimes we only load assets when they are actually needed (this is called lazy loading). The measurement of how long it takes the site to get to a usable start after it has started loading is called time to interactive.

Smoothness and interactivity

Does the application feel reliable and pleasurable to use? Is the scrolling smooth? Are buttons clickable? Are pop-ups quick to open up, and do they animate smoothly as they do so? There are a lot of best practices to consider in making apps feel smooth, for example using CSS animations rather than JavaScript for animation, and minimizing the number of repaints the UI requires due to changes in the DOM.

Perceived performance

How fast a website seems to the user has a greater impact on user experience than how fast the website actually is. How a user perceives your performance is as important, or perhaps more important than any objective statistic, but it’s subjective, and not as readily measurable. Perceived performance is a user perspective, not a metric. Even if an operation is going to take a long time (because of latency or whatever), it is possible to keep the user engaged while they wait by showing a loading spinner, or a series of useful hints and tips. 

Performance measurements

Web performance involves measuring the actual and perceived speeds of an application, optimizing where possible, and then monitoring the performance, to ensure that what you’ve optimized stays optimized. This involves a number of metrics that can indicate success or failure and tools to measure those metrics.

I can help:

Why work with me

I am optimizing websites in a regular base. I am working with all main Page builders like Elementor, Divi, WP Bakery, Gutenberg.
I am optimizing for performance using all major performance WP Plugins like: WP Rocket , Shortpixel , Breeze, but mostly by understanding the Google Speed Insights tool results and restructuring the code if necessary by removing Plugins and/or elements.

I never stop until i reach the best possible result and keep my customers satisfied.
