Performance
The Performance score provides an overall assessment of your website’s performance capabilities. It considers various factors that contribute to your website’s speed and responsiveness, such as server response times, browser load times, and page size efficiency. A high performance score indicates that your website is loading quickly and efficiently, while a lower score suggests areas for improvement.
Server speed
Server speed measures the time it takes for your website’s server to deliver resources to web browsers. A fast server speed ensures that your website’s content loads quickly for users, while a slow server speed can lead to frustratingly slow loading times. A high Server speed score reflects a responsive and efficient server, while a lower score may indicate a need to optimise your server configuration or upgrade your hosting plan.
Browser speed
Browser speed assesses the time it takes for your website’s content to load in a web browser. It considers factors such as the size of your website’s files, the use of efficient coding techniques, and the browser’s own processing capabilities. A high Browser speed score indicates that your website is loading quickly in most browsers, while a lower score may reveal areas where you can optimise your code or reduce the size of your files.
Page size
Page size evaluates the overall size of your website’s HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. A large page size can impact loading times and affect the user experience. A high Page size score suggests that your website might benefit from minifying your code and compressing your images to reduce its file size.
Large elements
Large elements identify and assess any oversized elements on your website that may significantly impact loading times. Oversized elements can include large images, embedded videos, or unnecessary code blocks. A high Large elements score indicates potential bottlenecks in your website’s loading process. By identifying and optimising these elements, you can improve your website’s overall performance.
Google performance rating
The Google performance rating evaluates your website’s performance based on Lighthouse performance metrics, which assess various aspects of your website’s speed, usability, and accessibility. A high Google performance rating reflects a well-optimised website that meets Google’s performance standards.
