Did you know that website performance (for each URL e.g. that of specific blog posts) is important to rank well in Google and other search engines?
Probably even more important right now: it is also important if you want your content to be used by ChatGPT and other search agents.
SEO Speed Test gives you a report about Google's own web vital speed test results that get reported from field testing by real Google Chrome users on desktop and mobile.
SEO Speed Test also has actionable recommendations on what to do to make your performance score better.
You can use the report and its recommendation to fix the performance issues yourself or forward them to the right person.
For technical SEO consultants a report by SEO Speed Test is also a great conversation starter with existing and future clients.
We often use it ourselves in kick-off meetings for technical SEO improvement sprints and we are super happy that we can make it available to all of you today.
@__tosh@fang_jing exactly, thanks for your comment. Have you used our SEOSpeedtest.com?

💡 Bright idea
Super sharp tool, Thomas — love how actionable and clean the output is. Especially relevant now with how search engines and AI agents both reward speed.
Curious: when agencies or site owners run into trouble implementing fixes, how are you thinking about guiding or supporting them in real time? Performance optimizations often get stuck at the handoff stage.
We’re launching something on PH soon that might interest you — it’s called Exthalpy, a live AI video agent built to help users take real action (not just chat) when they’re stuck mid-task. Would love to hear your thoughts when we go live 🙌
@udit_akhouri Great question. We are thinking about adding more in-depth guides for specific, popular systems like Wordpress, Webflow, Shopify, and so on.
Often site owners and agencies do not control the full stack directly and rely on popular CMS and ecommerce platforms and those come with their own quirks and templating systems and plugins that can affect performance.
E.g. it is often the case that you as SEO consultant get, after quite some work, to a really good setup with a client and then weeks later someone installs a plugin and the performance tanks.
What helps here is upskilling, raising awareness across departments, refresher-workshops — and as external consultant it can make sense to monitor the situation every few weeks so you can make your clients aware when performance degrades.
All the best for your upcoming launch, thank you for your support.
Have a great weekend!

@__tosh This is super awesome, rooting for your success Thomas. Also would love if you can check around on Exthalpy more..

@mustafamasalha thanks Mustafa. Appreciate the support. Did your website pass the speed test? ;-)
Report
@peterbuch No, actually because my website is still fresh. I ran the test on some of my clients websites and I’m happy with the results so far as a start.
@nitin_joshi thanks Nitin, appreciate you giving SEOspeedtest.com a try. The purpose is speed, and simplicity. And EEAT should work? What problems are you encountering?

@peterbuch This error appears while I'm checking the website. Or am I doing something wrong?

I’m curious—how does this differ from other testing tools like PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse, SpeedVitals or Treo? Would love to understand what makes this stand out. Thanks!
PageSpeed Insights is Google's tool for helping you improve page loading times using "Lighthouse" (this is also what is built into the Chrome developer tools). It helps you test the performance of a page in "lab conditions".
We also integrate with PageSpeed Insights.
SEO Speed Test is about real world field test data from millions of Chrome users on desktop and mobile who have opted into measuring page speed performance that then gets reported to Google in an anonymized way.
What does this mean?
On SEO Speed Test you get data about real world usage experience. This is also what Google calls "Core Web Vitals" and is not only relevant for user experience and conversion rates (conversion to sign up, conversion to sales, …) but also affects bounce rates and search engine ranking.

@seunggon_kim@__tosh PageSpeed Insights gives lab-based speed metrics; SEO Speed Test shows real-world user data (Core Web Vitals).
Both matter for user experience and Google rankings.
@__tosh@fang_jing@peterbuch Thanks for the clear explanation, Thomas and Fang! So if I understand correctly:
PageSpeed Insights provides both lab + field data (but is closer to lab-based)
Lighthouse is lab-only
SEO Speed Test emphasizes field data from real Chrome users
That makes a lot of sense. One additional question here. What happens when a page doesn’t have enough field data in CrUX? Do you fall back to Lighthouse-style lab data (maybe it is related to what you said "We also integrate with PageSpeed Insights"), use origin-level aggregates, or skip reporting altogether?

Hey Fellow Makers & Creators! Did you know that 75% of websites are too slow?
That's why @__tosh & I built SEOSpeedTest.com
It's not just for Google.
But also for ChatGPT and other AI search engines.
That’s killing your SEO.
So we built SEOSpeedTest.com
→ Just paste your URL
→ Get a blazing fast performance score
→ See what’s holding your site back
We even ran ProductHunt.com through it…
Spoiler: mobile speed needs work. 👀
If you want your brand to rank faster and smarter, give it a spin.
And if you like it, we’d love your upvote ❤️
Let’s make the internet fast again.

@peterbuch This error appears while I'm checking the website. Or am I doing something wrong?

@peterbuch @nitin_joshi it's possible that the URL is blocking crawlers
can you try https://llmseoindex.com to check if crawlers can crawl the page?
can you send us the URL so we can take a closer look?
@peterbuch @__tosh I checked llm seo index its showing that URL in indexable. I am testing this url: https://www.appventurez.com

@nitin_joshi PageSpeed Insights gives lab-condition metrics so you can iterate fast, we also integrate with PageSpeed Insights.
