What is PageSpeed Insights?

PageSpeed Insights is a free tool from Google that analyzes a web page and shows:


1. Loading speed

Broken down into scores for mobile and desktop, rated from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the better the optimization.


2. Core Web Vitals

Shows the values of the metrics: LCP, FID (or its replacement, INP), CLS - and indicates whether they meet the targets.


3. Recommendations

Detailed advice:

  • which resources slow down loading,
  • what can be compressed,
  • where to remove unnecessary JavaScript,
  • which images are oversized, etc.

4. Two types of data:

  • Field data (real users) - from Chrome reports;
  • Lab data (emulation) - from Lighthouse, to test under controlled conditions.

In short, it's a tool that shows what's stopping your site from being fast, stable, and convenient, and how to fix it.
