Overall Satisfaction with GTmetrix

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
  • Speeding up load times can improve SEO.
  • Increase conversions, as there is less time to wait for the page to load.
The data visualization aspect of GTmetrix is better than the competition. It uses letters A, B, and C to help rate speed and performance. It shows the time, size of the page, and uses colors as well. Green is fast, orange and red are slow (poor).
There are also articles available to help learn more about the details. Not only is it important to get the results and understand them, but it's important to know what to do with it.
I have only had to use their support a handful of times, and they provide great speedy responses. They are also on social media and you can connect with them on those platforms as well, many options.

Showing page speed results to others is great! The breakdown is outstanding. It has an overall PageSpeed, YSlow, Waterfall (super useful), and more. It might not have the most technical details, but for a free tool, it does a perfect job for everyone. If someone wants to dig into the details, they can easily click on one of the tabs and dig in.

Yes - Very well, perfect for the phone and tablet, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to show someone the speed of their site on the go. I did it once on the subway :)
It's easy to use fast, data is easy to read and take aways are great too.
