Why speed matters
Test your website's speed.
Speed affects how many visitors stay on your site and how easily people find it. Google ranks faster sites higher, and AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini favour sites that load quickly and cleanly.
The test is free. It runs Google's PageSpeed test on mobile and explains the results in plain English.
