Changes to Google’s testmysite Tool
No, you are not imagining things – Google’s testmysite tool has been given a bit of a face lift.
If you want a quick way to see how your site is performing on mobile, Google’s testmysite tool provides a quick overview. It can tell you in seconds if your website takes over 5 seconds to load (most people won’t even wait that long for a site to load), or if there are things you should fix to make your site more mobile friendly.
Some new features include:
- the number of seconds it takes for your site load, before it just gave you a score out of 100.
- more detail as to what Google looks at to determine your scores. For site speed, for example, it looks at your HTML/CSS, Javascript and compression.
- it also stacks your results up against other sites in your industry
Keep in mind that the tool isn’t perfect, but designed to tell you a general idea of how your site stacks up.
