About

GTmetrix is ​​one of the best web performance tools on the market. It presents a very detailed assessment based on both PageSpeed ​​and YSlow metrics. The final grade it gives ranges from F to A. The GTmetrix performance report is divided into five sections: PageSpeed, YSlow, Waterfall Graph, Video, and History. You can test your site from seven different locations with just one free registration, choosing between Chrome and Firefox.

GTmetrix's tools also allow you to test on different connection types (cable, dial-up, etc.) and provide advanced features such as video playback and Adblock support. With video playback you can see exactly where the bottlenecks in loading your site are occurring and with the Adblock feature you can see how your site behaves when there are no ads on it.

With a free account you get even more options. By cross-checking PageSpeed ​​and YSlow, you can see a complete history of your site's load times. There are a variety of reporting options on top of that. You can choose to transfer your entire test history to a CSV file.

GTmetrix is ​​one of the most widely used website performance tools, with more than 222.000.000 pages analyzed. This number is growing every second. Companies that have worked with GTmetrix include PayPal, Spotify, GoDaddy, Nike, HP, NBC, and Nordstrom.  

With GTmetrix you have the option to monitor your site daily, weekly, monthly or even (with GTmetrix Pro) hourly! You can set up email alerts when certain conditions are met (for example, when the PageSpeed ​​score falls below a certain threshold or page load times reach a certain value, etc.).

With 12 servers in 7 locations (Asia, South America, North America, Australia, UK), GTmetrix is ​​one of the most robust tools on the list. It even lets you check your performance on an Android phone, where you can see a visual report of how your site is loading. This helps you identify where the delay is occurring. You can slow the process down to a quarter of its original speed, and you can also jump to important page loading milestones with a filmstrip-like view that lets you see page loading in a new, dynamic way.

The developer toolkit that GTmetrix provides gives you the ability to simulate pages on different types of devices, with different screen resolutions. You can create a set of presets for a frequently used option. In general, GTmetrix offers monitoring, visualization, zoom and pan, annotation, alerts.

Great platform for performance optimization by 🤖 Eric Nijman

2 years ago

I have been using Gtmetrix for years as a tool to analyze performance for websites. The nice thing about this tool is that, in addition to the good Google Pagespeed score, it also applies other algorithms, including Yslow's and self-developed test methods.

Positive points: Free version already very complete.
Subscriptions very affordable.
Lots of insights and also advice on how you (or your developers) can improve performance.
Periodic monitoring with history.
Also measurements on real phones.
