We use GTmetrix for two main tasks. It is one of our investigative tools when beginning an SEO audit (or deciding if we even want to take on the client). GTmetrix allows you to quickly get a pretty comprehensive look at the technical health of a website. In just a few minutes you can get a good look to see the data size of a page, get an idea of load time. You can also see if the site is using caching, scaled images, if scripts are minified and/or in-line and the list goes on to address about 25 different parameters.
The other area that we use GTmetrix for is speed optimization. Not only can you see the items mentioned above but you also can look at the Waterfall so you can see the order that assets are loading on the page but also how long each takes. This lets you identify areas that can be improved and find where the biggest improvements can be made with the least effort or cost.
Speaking of cost, all of the above can be accomplished with the free version of GTmetrix.

- Quickly assess the general technical health of a page or site.

- I have been using GTmetrix for several years. I have the free account and I honestly cannot think of one thing that I could suggest improvements for. I am not afraid to critique when due. However, in this instance there really is nothing that I can say that I dislike or would like to see different. The interface is easy to understand and use. The information that is produced from scanning a URL is well organized and well presented.

GTmetrix is the best tool to help you speed up your website. Beautiful, easy-to-read results.
We use GTmetrix to ensure a fast load time of websites for clients. Many have beautiful sites, but they now know their sites load slowly. GTmetrix is great to know where the site is lagging and how to improve the site to load quickly. Some areas are more important than others and the breakdown from the report is perfect to prioritize the areas for improvement.
- Reporting
- Recommendations
- A few more test locations
- Save more runs when logged in

An excellent tool for website performance reports
We use GTmetrix on a regular basis throughout the organization, since it helps us get insights from website performance issues and what we can do to improve that.
It gathers data from PageSpeed, YSlow and Waterfall (like devtools), besides offering some paid features like timings, video and history.

- 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 user interface is a little bit confusing.
- You can't choose a different test server (since we're from Brazil, it doesn't reflect exactly what most of our users are experiencing).
- There's a wait time (queue) in case there are other users using the platform at the same time.
