Speedmine can run on any website, on any number of pages. The challenge was to create something that would work as well on smaller pages as it does on large websites, that could store and collate data into meaningful metrics, and could do it all automatically.Įnter Speedmine, a Three Whiskey tool that runs in the background to collect page speed performance data on any website. We wanted to be able to provide our clients with a better way to assess their page speed. Likewise, smaller companies may struggle to get enough data to provide meaningful metrics. On top of that, many don’t provide lighthouse results to identify valuable optimisation opportunities, and you may not get the detailed data you need to make improvements to your website.įor companies with multiple websites with thousands of pages, some of which are niche enough to have fairly small amounts of traffic, collecting relevant data can be an enormous task. They can also be tedious to use, as most require running data by hand. Most of them rely on user-generated data, so don’t work for websites with lower volume. You might have noticed that many of these tools have serious limitations – we certainly did. It’s efficient and gives you data by URL, but you’ll need to manually run the crawls and keep your computer on while they run – and the data isn’t presented very clearly, making it difficult to share.

Screaming Frog’s PageSpeed Insights plugin collects page speed data in bulk using the PageSpeed Insights API. However, they’re limited in their ability to connect to other data sources. Other tools - like Lighthouse, Request Metric’s Core Web Vitals Monitoring and clickio’s Core Web Vitals Monitoring - are great for seeing your page speed results on a page-by-page basis.

Google Search Console enables you to see your Core Web Vitals – but it pulls data from the CrUX report, so also only works for sites with enough traffic.

PageSpeed Insights (PSI) lets you see both real-world usage from CrUX alongside your lab data (how potential users may use your site), but needs to be run individually for each URL.

It also averages data across domain (rather than page) and month (rather than a bespoke timeframe), so it can take a while to evaluate page optimisation efforts.

Chrome User Experience (CrUX) Report is a public dataset pulled from real-world data – but runs on user-generated information, so only contains data on websites with a large enough volume of traffic.

There are currently a number of tools available for collecting page load performance data for your website, each with their pros and cons. While it was first rolled out for mobile, it’s now been introduced for desktop as well. With the Core Web Vitals update, Google solidified the three factors they use to evaluate the user’s experience - all of which relate to page speed. Better loading times mean improvements in rankings, user experience, and conversion rates - even a 0.1 second improvement on mobile speed has been shown to improve retail conversions by up to 8.4%. That makes page speed an important factor for SEO. When a page takes more than 10 seconds to load, the probability of a bounce goes up by a whopping 123%. On mobile, a one second delay in page load can reduce conversions by up to 20%.Ĭhance of bounce rate increases by 32% when page load speed goes from one to three seconds, and by 90% when load speed goes from one to five seconds. Waiting three seconds for a page to load feels a lot longer if the screen stays blank than it does if the skeleton of the page appears.įaster page speeds also increase conversion rates - and slower speeds dramatically reduce them.

Simply put, page speed is how quickly content loads on your website – but it’s also a valuable indicator of how a user is going to feel when they visit your website. Read on to find out about our new Speedmine tool, but first, let’s take a closer look at why page speed matters so much. There just isn’t a tool that suits every business - so we made one. That makes monitoring your site’s page speed performance an essential task - and while there are a variety of tools available to help, we’ve noticed some big gaps in the insights they provide. But not only does page speed impact ranking, a slow load speed also negatively affects user experience and can lead to higher bounce rates and lower conversions. When Google introduced Core Web Vitals in 2020, it solidified something our SEO experts already knew: page speed is a crucial determinant in how a website ranks in search results.
