Find out how your website performs on a phone, what real visitors experience, and which problems are worth fixing first.
The check runs Google's Lighthouse test on a simulated phone by default, with a desktop option. It explains the speed, accessibility and search basics behind the result. If Google has enough real-visitor data, it also shows Core Web Vitals.

Reading the results
What the numbers actually mean.
Scores are a guide, not a goal. What matters is whether visitors can see the page quickly, use it without frustration and find the next step.
01 / Real visitors
Field data shows the wider experience
When Google has enough Chrome visitors to your page, it reports the last 28 days of real-world experience. Use that history to judge visitor impact and the one-off Lighthouse test to investigate causes. Some pages have too little field data to show it.
02 / Speed
Main content in under 2.5 seconds
Google's guidance is that the largest image or text block should appear within 2.5 seconds on a phone, the page should respond to taps within 200 milliseconds, and the layout should not jump.
03 / Search
Search basics are pass or fail
A missing title, a blocked page or links search engines cannot follow are simple to fix and worth fixing. A perfect score here does not guarantee rankings; useful content still matters most.
04 / Accessibility
Automated checks catch only part of it
Missing labels, low contrast and unnamed buttons are found automatically. Keyboard use, screen reader flow and clear wording need a person to test them.
Why a website feels slow
Connect each metric to a likely cause.
The report points to a problem; the page and its loading sequence tell you what to change. Check the affected URL on mobile first, then compare desktop if that is where your customers work.
LCP / Loading
The main content appears late
Look at the largest visible image or text block. A slow server response, oversized hero image, late-loading font or render-blocking code can delay it. Use the Lighthouse opportunities to identify the actual bottleneck before changing the design.
INP / Interaction
Taps feel delayed
Long JavaScript tasks and busy third-party scripts can hold up a response to a tap. If real-visitor INP is available, inspect the slow interaction on the page and reduce the work it triggers.
CLS / Stability
Content jumps while loading
Images without reserved space, late banners and changing font sizes can move buttons or text after a visitor starts reading. Reserve space for media and test dynamic sections on a phone.
SEO / Search basics
A technical check is only a start
Lighthouse can flag missing titles and other basic issues. It cannot tell you whether the page answers the right search, earns trust or will rank. Review the page's content and Search Console queries as well.
The PageSpeed Insights documentation explains field and lab data. Its Core Web Vitals guidance uses LCP, INP and CLS to describe loading, responsiveness and visual stability.
About this check
Common questions.
This check looks at one page at a time. Test your homepage and the page most visitors land on from search or ads.
Why is my score different each time?
Server response, ads, third-party scripts and network conditions change between runs. A few points of difference is normal. Look at the trend and at the issues listed, not a single number.
Do I need a score of 100?
No. A page in the green range with good real-visitor data is doing its job. Chasing the last few points can cost more than it is worth, especially if it means removing tools your team relies on.
My site is built on WordPress, Wix or Shopify. Can these be fixed?
Usually, yes, though how much depends on the platform. Image sizes, plugins, third-party scripts and theme code are the common causes, and most can be improved without a rebuild.
Is the address I enter stored?
The address is sent to Google PageSpeed Insights, which loads the public page to test it. This website does not store it. Nothing is sent to me unless you use the form below the report.
Can it test pages behind a login?
No. The test loads the page as a new visitor would, so it can only check publicly available pages.
