Comprehensive Website Performance Tests

Our free website speed test analyzes 15+ critical performance metrics to help you identify and fix speed issues

HTTP/3 Protocol Test

HTTP/3 (QUIC) is the latest evolution of the HTTP protocol, offering significantly faster page loads through improved connection establishment and multiplexing. Our website speed test checks if your server supports HTTP/3, which can reduce page load times by up to 30% compared to HTTP/2. Sites using HTTP/3 benefit from reduced latency, better performance on unreliable networks, and improved mobile browsing experience. If your site doesn't support HTTP/3 yet, we'll provide specific NGINX and Apache configuration directives to enable it.

Brotli Compression Test

Brotli is Google's advanced compression algorithm that typically achieves 15-25% better compression ratios than GZIP. Our performance test verifies if your web server delivers Brotli-compressed content to browsers that support it. Enabling Brotli compression reduces bandwidth usage and speeds up page loading, particularly for text-based assets like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. We test both static and dynamic content compression and provide configuration examples for NGINX, Apache, and Cloudflare.

GZIP Compression Analysis

GZIP compression is a fundamental web performance optimization that reduces the size of transferred data by 60-80%. Our website analyzer tests whether your server properly compresses HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, and other text-based resources. Even if you're using Brotli, GZIP serves as an essential fallback for older browsers. We check compression levels and identify any resources that are being sent uncompressed, costing you bandwidth and slowing down your visitors' experience.

HTTP/2 Protocol Check

HTTP/2 enables multiplexing, header compression, and server push, making it essential for modern website performance. Our speed test verifies HTTP/2 support and checks for proper implementation including ALPN negotiation. Sites using HTTP/2 can load resources in parallel over a single connection, eliminating the performance penalties of HTTP/1.1's head-of-line blocking. If HTTP/2 is not enabled, we provide step-by-step instructions for enabling it on your web server.

Keep-Alive Connection Test

HTTP Keep-Alive (persistent connections) allows multiple requests over a single TCP connection, reducing connection overhead and improving page load times. Our website performance test checks if your server properly implements Keep-Alive headers and evaluates the timeout values. Properly configured Keep-Alive can reduce server load while improving user experience. We also test for Connection header issues that might prevent Keep-Alive from working correctly with proxies and CDNs.

Time to First Byte (TTFB) Analysis

Time to First Byte measures how quickly your server responds to requests - a critical Core Web Vitals metric. Our TTFB test measures server response time from multiple perspectives, identifying backend performance bottlenecks. A good TTFB is under 200ms, while anything over 600ms significantly impacts user experience and SEO rankings. We analyze TTFB in context of your hosting, caching configuration, and backend processing to provide specific optimization recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Website Speed Testing

Everything you need to know about testing and improving your website performance

A website speed test is a diagnostic tool that analyzes how quickly your website loads and identifies performance bottlenecks. Website speed is crucial for user experience, SEO rankings, and conversion rates. Google uses page speed as a ranking factor, and studies show that 53% of mobile users abandon sites that take longer than 3 seconds to load. Our speed test checks server response times, compression, caching, and protocol support to give you a complete performance picture.
Testing your website performance is simple and free with our tool. Just enter your website URL in the input field above and click "Analyze." Within seconds, you'll receive a comprehensive performance report covering HTTP protocols, compression, caching headers, security configurations, and Time to First Byte (TTFB). No registration, no account, no limits - test as many websites as you need.
A good website speed score depends on the metrics being measured. For our tool, an A or A+ grade (90-100 score) indicates excellent server configuration with modern protocols and proper optimization. For Time to First Byte (TTFB), aim for under 200ms. For total page load time, under 2 seconds is considered good, while under 1 second is excellent. Google's Core Web Vitals recommend LCP under 2.5s, FID under 100ms, and CLS under 0.1 for a good user experience.
To improve website loading time, focus on these key areas: Enable Brotli or GZIP compression to reduce file sizes by 60-80%. Implement HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 for faster multiplexed connections. Set proper caching headers to reduce repeat requests. Optimize images with next-gen formats like WebP. Use a CDN to reduce geographic latency. Enable Keep-Alive connections to reduce TCP overhead. Our speed test identifies which of these optimizations are missing and provides specific server configuration directives to implement them.
Time to First Byte (TTFB) measures the time between a browser requesting a page and receiving the first byte of data from the server. A good TTFB is under 200ms, acceptable is 200-500ms, and anything over 600ms needs improvement. To improve TTFB: Use a faster hosting provider, implement server-side caching (like Varnish or Redis), optimize database queries, use PHP OPcache, reduce WordPress plugins, and consider a CDN. TTFB is a Core Web Vitals component that directly impacts SEO rankings.
Both Brotli and GZIP are compression algorithms that reduce file sizes for faster transfers. Brotli, developed by Google, typically achieves 15-25% better compression ratios than GZIP, especially for text content. Brotli uses a predefined dictionary of common web patterns, making it more efficient for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. However, Brotli requires more CPU for compression (but not decompression). Most modern browsers support Brotli, but GZIP should remain as a fallback. Our tool tests for both and helps you configure your server to use them optimally.
HTTP/3 uses QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) instead of TCP, providing several performance benefits. It eliminates head-of-line blocking at the transport layer, reduces connection establishment time with 0-RTT handshakes, handles network changes (like switching from WiFi to mobile) seamlessly, and includes encryption by default. Real-world tests show HTTP/3 can reduce page load times by 10-30%, with even greater improvements on high-latency or unreliable networks. Our speed test checks if your site supports HTTP/3 and provides configuration guidance.
Our speed test focuses on different aspects than Google PageSpeed Insights. While PageSpeed emphasizes frontend metrics and Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS), our tool specializes in server-side configuration: HTTP protocols, compression, caching headers, and security. Both tools are accurate for their respective purposes and complement each other. Use PageSpeed for frontend optimization guidance and our tool for server configuration and backend performance. Together, they provide a complete picture of your website's performance.
