The new tool is fairly straight forward. All you need to do is enter your website and Google will give you a list of steps you need to take to speed up your website. The suggested steps are ranked high, medium and low to make it easier for you to identify which ones are more important.
- High priority. These suggestions represent the largest potential performance wins for the least development effort. You should address these items first.
- Medium priority. These suggestions may represent smaller wins or much more work to implement. You should address this item next.
- Low priority. These suggestions represent the smallest wins. You should only be concerned with these items after you’ve handled the higher-priority ones.
- We’ve all used other speed test tools before but Google’s new speed test has 1 great feature the others don’t have; you can also test your mobile website performance. With the mobile website speed test, you get a new list of steps you need to take to speed up the mobile version of your site.
With page load speed being so important for SEO, this tool will be very useful to help test your website.
