Google PageSpeed Insights vs. NitroPack

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.

NitroPack shines on Wordpress sites that want to improve user experience through speed. It is also great for improving woocommerce page load.

If I had to speculate on where it would not be greatly useful it would be a small wordpress site with no e-commerce. There are enough free caching plugins that can help a general site, but if you need that extra boast of performance this is a great plugin.

I think GTmetrix has some feedback that PageSpeed doesn't provide, but Google's tool is easier overall and has a better user experience; also offers compressed images, CSS, and javascript files if that's the case. Also, Google has extensive documentation to help you better understand what can be done to improve your grade.

Although they are competitors NitroPack works well with Cloudflare. I use the Cloudflare add on from Cloudways. NitroPack has some specific instructions to work with Cloudflare and with Cloudways caching, but I have found no issues using all three services for multi-layer caching and CDN.
