    The competition does not specifically analyze mobile-friendliness or responsiveness, just overall desktop performance. It is vital to know if a website passes Google's Mobile-Friendly requirements in order to better your search rankings and search traffic.

    I mean, it is a simple, no-frill test that gives your OK or NOT OK and highlights where it is. It is just a temperature check, this has to be used in conjunction with other tools for it to be useful. Since it is free I recommend running it as a check always.

    GTmetrix is very well suited for small organizations or startups that do not have sufficient technical staff for site optimization. GTmetrix also comes with the free version, which allows users to use their service for free for up to three websites, which is a good option. However, this might not be the best option for a large organization that works in different technical domains and have a good number of technical staff.

    Pros
    Google
    • Google Mobile-Friendly Test is easy to use and works very fast.
    • Google also has its own search engine results in mind when using the tool. This is important, as Google has most of the online search market share.
    • Most modern devices are accounted for.

    Cons
    Google
    • Google's suggestions are sometimes vague or unhelpful.
    • The test doesn't offer multiple screen sizes or shapes. Though this isn't a huge issue, it would be nice to make sure a site using media queries stays mobile friendly throughout size changes

    • Deeper knowledge of page elements and their importance
    • Knowing which areas will have great impact beyond time of load speeds
    • Should drop any elements that do not reach a certain level of impact - to save distraction and get important issues dealt with

    I have never had the need to use GTmetrix support. Therefore, there is really no way for me to give a grade here. However, if you are on a paid plan my guess and it is a guess, is that their support is as good as the tool is. There are a lot more features in the paid plans, reporting. monitoring etc. I could see where support could come into play as these features are added to the account

    Given we are doing the work to improve in Google to a large degree - the Google product is essential. But GTMetrix may use their info as well as other independent stuff to be a little better. I appreciate the way GTMetrix provides the info - cleaner and clearer and thus quicker to address.
