    Chose Google PageSpeed Insights
    The results are in the eyes of Google and as we know they are the most popular search engine. Great information from Google. pingdom and GTmetrix allow for shareable results. Google Pagespeed does not have the option to see past tests run.

    Google's approach is a little different from competing services like WebPageTest and pingdom by providing Google-specific benchmarks. Their interface is a bit simpler and well-suited to more novice and intermediate site owners. Advanced users will prefer the granular data and …

    Chose Google PageSpeed Insights
    We prefer Google PageSpeed Insights to Pingdom's site speed tool and GTmetrix. It's easier to use and the data is highly actionable.

    If you notice your site is taking a long time to load, then you should first use PageSpeed Insights to see what can quickly be optimized (also check your file sizes, hosting server, NGINX and other common sources of slow speed, too.) And, if you've notice gradually fewer Organic Search visits, PageSpeed Insights might be able to help. As Google is reducing the prevalence of slow sites, you could be losing traffic. Speed up your page load times by finding what is blocking renders, slowing down contentful paints, and other critical page speed signals.
