Overall Satisfaction with Google PageSpeed Insights
Google PageSpeed Insights is a great tool which helps both management and development teams, using it as a valuable tool to ensure our deliveries' quality. It provides insights on how to improve user experience, accessibility, and performance.
Also, it's a great way to show our clients how everything is going and better optimize our code for search engines.

- Straight to the point
- Valuable feedback on performance
- Provide optimized assets (CSS, JS and images)
- Could have better mobile analysis
- Some performance requirements are somewhat difficult to meet
- You don't need to get a 100% grade to have a greatly optimized website
- Since it's a free tool, we can't recommend it enough.
- It only requires a small amount of time to get used to and be able to make improvements on the website.
- I think the negative impact may be the "grade" issue because some clients ask to get "100%" and it depends on the tools and web hosting you are using.
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.
