Your question | Tool |
|---|
Is my site fast for real visitors? Does it pass Core Web Vitals? | Core Web Vitals checker |
Why is my HTML so large? Will Googlebot read all of it? | Page size checker |
Does my server use gzip or Brotli? Which files are sent uncompressed? | Gzip & Brotli checker |
The three work well together. If Core Web Vitals fail on LCP, check whether the HTML is heavy and whether it is compressed: the browser can’t show the main content before the HTML arrives.
Where the numbers come from
None of these tools runs a lab speed test. Each one measures something specific, so results don’t change with where you run them from.
Core Web Vitals checker reads Google’s Chrome UX Report: visits real Chrome users made over the last 28 days. Pages with little traffic may have no data.
Page size checker sends one request for the page and measures the HTML the server returns, without running JavaScript.
Gzip & Brotli checker requests the page like a current Chrome browser, then checks up to 40 of its same-origin CSS, JS, font and SVG files.
