Free Website Speed Test
See how fast your site really loads, what's slowing it down, and the exact changes that will make it faster — for visitors and for Google.
A slow site costs you twice: visitors leave before it loads, and Google ranks it lower. The siteIQ Speed Test measures your real load performance and pinpoints what's holding it back.
Enter any URL to get your performance score, key timing metrics and a prioritized list of the heaviest, slowest resources to fix first.
What this tool checks
Load timing
Time to first byte, first paint and full load — where the seconds go.
Heavy resources
The largest images, scripts and fonts slowing the page down.
Render-blocking assets
CSS and JavaScript that delay your content from appearing.
Compression & caching
Whether Gzip/Brotli and browser caching are enabled.
Image formats
Opportunities to serve modern formats like WebP/AVIF.
Why it matters
Page speed is one of the most direct levers on both SEO and revenue. Faster pages rank better, bounce less and convert more — the effect is measurable and immediate.
Most speed problems come from a handful of oversized images and unnecessary scripts. Fixing those few things often transforms the experience without a rebuild.
How to read your results
- Look at the largest resources first — compressing one huge image often beats a dozen micro-optimizations.
- Enable Gzip/Brotli compression and browser caching if the report says they're off.
- Defer non-critical JavaScript (analytics, chat widgets) so it doesn't block your content.
- Convert large PNG/JPG images to WebP or AVIF and lazy-load anything below the fold.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good page load time?
Aim for your main content to be visible within 2.5 seconds. Anything over ~4 seconds significantly increases bounce rate on mobile.
Does speed really affect SEO?
Yes. Site speed and Core Web Vitals are confirmed Google ranking factors, and faster pages keep more visitors — which Google also notices.
Why is my site fast for me but slow in the test?
Your browser caches the site after the first visit, so it feels fast to you. The test measures a fresh, first-time visit — what new visitors actually experience.
What's the difference from the Core Web Vitals test?
Core Web Vitals focuses on Google's three specific experience metrics. The Speed Test gives a broader view of overall load performance and resource weight.
