Speed test questions

Straight answers about your results.

Still unsure? Ask a WordPress expert

How does the speed test work?

It asks Google PageSpeed Insights for a fresh Lighthouse run of your page and pulls real-user data from the Chrome UX Report. You get a performance score, lab metrics and Core Web Vitals in under a minute.

What do my results mean?

The performance score runs from 0 to 100, and 90 or higher is good. Core Web Vitals show how real visitors experience your site: loading (LCP), responsiveness (INP) and visual stability (CLS).

Why is my mobile score lower than desktop?

Google tests mobile on a slower phone and network, so heavy images, scripts and fonts hurt more. Most sites score lower on mobile, and mobile is what Google uses for rankings.

Why does my score change between runs?

Lab scores shift a few points from run to run because of network and server timing. Results are also cached for an hour per page, so wait a bit before testing again.

Why don’t I see Core Web Vitals data?

Google only reports field data when a site has enough real Chrome traffic. Newer or smaller sites may only show lab results, which still point to what needs fixing.

Is the test really free?

Yes. No signup and no card. Run it whenever you make a change to your site.
