Free Speed Snapshot
Get a quick overview of your page load time and performance metrics.
How does your site compare?
Sites loading under 700ms have 2× higher conversion rates than those over 1500ms.
Based on server response time (TTFB) measurements. Indicates hosting and backend performance, not full page render.
Your server responds within 300ms, indicating fast hosting and efficient backend processing.
How to fix this
Improve server response time by upgrading hosting, enabling caching, and using a CDN.
- 1Check if your hosting plan is adequate. Shared hosting is often the #1 bottleneck.
- 2Enable server-side caching (page cache, object cache) to reduce database queries.
- 3Add a CDN (Cloudflare, Fastly) to serve content from locations closer to your visitors.
- 4Reduce plugin/middleware overhead. Deactivate plugins you don't actively use.
- 5Enable GZIP or Brotli compression if not already active.
Quick tips by platform
WordPress: Install WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache. Consider managed WordPress hosting (WP Engine, Flywheel).
Wix: Wix handles hosting and CDN automatically. Reduce large images and third-party scripts.
Shopify: Shopify's CDN is built-in. Focus on reducing app/script bloat and optimising images.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you measure speed?
We measure server response time (TTFB) using the median of 5 requests. This shows how fast your server responds, not full page rendering.
What's a good server response time?
Under 300ms is excellent. 300-700ms is acceptable. Over 1500ms is slow and likely hurting conversions.
What causes slow response times?
Common causes: slow hosting, no CDN, heavy database queries, no server-side caching, or too many plugins/middleware.
