Overall Satisfaction with GTmetrix

The product provides solid information about page load speeds, addressing any issues that slow the process. They also provide detailed information on performance such as first paint as well as structure and waterfall. Great tool for seeing how changes to a webpage impact various important elements. I use it often to check new pages, as well as a handful of important transactional pages that needs to be quick and clean to ensure more sales.
  • Fast return of page load issues
  • Great actionable insights
  • Great guides to improve web page engagement
  • Deeper knowledge of page elements and their importance
  • Knowing which areas will have great impact beyond time of load speeds
  • Should drop any elements that do not reach a certain level of impact - to save distraction and get important issues dealt with
  • None
  • Provides info to act on
  • Easy to use and assign tasks to address issues found
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.

One of the best page load and insights to what can be done to improve it. Many programs offer this type of information but none provide the depth of info. If used right it's super helpful. But the sheer volume of info can divert attention to the issues that should be addressed immediately. A step-by-step priority guide would come in handy, beyond ranking the issues.
