GTmetrix vs. Kameleoon

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.

• We can easily create A/B tests and personalizations to target specific audiences and improve the customer journey
• The widget editor is intuitive and very easy to use, a lot of features are available without any code
• The result analysis dashboard is easy to read and understand : we have very detailed data to analyze the performance of our experiments, even on pages with low traffic thanks to the CUPED algorithm.
• We strongly recommend Kameleoon !

• Really complete report of performance issues.
• Get reports from PageSpeed and YSlow at same time.
• Gives a score from each separate tool, also displays loading time, page size and total requests very easily.

• The segment builder is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Works wonderfully with Mixpanel. Our team managed to set up our segments and experiments within a couple of hours.
• Great customer service and willingness to help with any of our questions.
• Very secure testing environment for our A/B testing experiments. We had a staging environment easily set up for review and testing before live deployment. We needed a HIPAA compliant solution, and Kameleoon delivers.

• They might consider improving their checking process speed, it often takes a huge time to display the performance report. This is even longer for non-logged-in users.
• Previously two different options of Google's Pagespeeds and Yahoo's lighthouse were shown in the report section, now only combined report is shown. I personally like the two reports from different sources.
• Non-tech savvy persons might not find it so easy to use.

• Interface of the graphics editor is quite conceptual. It is fine after a few days but it takes a little while to recognize some icons.
• Their online tutorial could also be easily improved.
• If you want to do major graphical changes on your website, you will have to inject JS and CSS code which requires some technical background but I don’t know if that point can be improved.

It's easy to use fast, data is easy to read and take aways are great too.

Kameleoon offers one of the best UI's I've seen when I've compared it to 4 of the other big competitors in the landscape. They have some improvement areas when it comes to the UX - Which is easily solvable if/when prioritized. There's a little to much "clicking" and "new tabs" in my opinion

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

Our Kameleoon team is also very dedicated to us. We have weekly meetings to review our project roadmap and the results of our ongoing campaigns. Kameleoon’s team is very supportive and ambitious for every project. The responsiveness of the teams is also very helpful and reassuring when there are up and downs (as happens in every relationship).

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.

The agency that helped create our new Headless website recommended Kameleoon and Growth book on top of the stalwart Optimizely. Our final round of POC was between Optimizely and Kameleoon, and the thing that pushed Kameleoon ahead was the size of their snippet and how easy it was to set up the Segment integration out of the box to do what we needed it to do. Although Kameleoon is relatively "new" to the North American market, they have continued to perform above and beyond our expectations.
