PageSpeed Insights Correct Answer | Generated by AI
That is incorrect. The most commonly used Google tool specifically designed to test page loading speed is C. PageSpeed Insights.
🛠️ Page Loading Speed Tools
The correct answer is C. PageSpeed Insights.
- PageSpeed Insights (PSI) is a free, web-based tool from Google that analyzes the content of a web page and provides detailed suggestions on how to improve its performance on both mobile and desktop devices. It uses data from the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX), which provides real-world user performance data (field data), and it also runs a performance audit using Lighthouse (lab data). This combination makes it the most comprehensive and commonly cited tool for measuring page speed and Core Web Vitals.
- Lighthouse is an open-source, automated tool for improving the quality of web pages. It is the engine that powers the lab data section of PageSpeed Insights, but it also tests other aspects like accessibility, best practices, and SEO. While it is a key tool for speed, PageSpeed Insights is the user-facing tool that combines Lighthouse’s lab data with real-world user data.
- Analytics (Google Analytics) primarily tracks user behavior, traffic, and conversions. While Universal Analytics had a dedicated “Site Speed” report, in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), site speed metrics often require custom setup and it is not its primary function.
- Search Console primarily helps you monitor your site’s performance in Google Search results and identify technical SEO issues. It includes a Core Web Vitals report, which monitors page speed metrics using CrUX data, but it acts more as a monitoring and reporting tool for performance across the entire site, rather than the primary testing and auditing tool for a single page like PageSpeed Insights.
