Pagespeed Insights

Pagespeed Insights is an open source project started by Google to help developers optimize their web pages by applying performance best practices on the web.

Pagespeed Insights measures website performance and delivers a score from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the better the performance. It searches the URL twice, once with a user agent mobile device and once with a user agent computer, as in the image:
