What we measure
The check bundles lab data with real-world signals. These are the numbers that usually explain why a page feels slow or jumpy.
Largest Contentful Paint
When the main hero image or headline block becomes visible. Slow LCP usually means heavy images, slow server response or render-blocking assets.
Good target: ≤ 2.5s
Interaction to Next Paint
How quickly the page responds after a tap or click. Lag here feels like a broken button even when the page looks fine.
Good target: ≤ 200ms
Cumulative Layout Shift
Unexpected movement while the page loads. Banners, fonts and late-loading ads are the usual suspects.
Good target: ≤ 0.1
Time to First Byte
Server and network latency before your page starts loading. High TTFB usually points at hosting or caching, not just cosmetic tweaks.
Good target: ≤ 800ms
First Contentful Paint
When anything meaningful first appears on screen. A fast FCP reassures visitors the page is alive.
Good target: ≤ 1.8s
Total Blocking Time
How long the main thread is busy during load. Heavy JavaScript is the common culprit on marketing sites and shop fronts.
Good target: ≤ 200ms
How it works
Fast queue, honest limits, human-readable output. No mystery dashboards or enterprise upsell mid-flow.

Keeping it free
We cap how often the check can run, so it stays free for everyone.
Scores land in seconds
Performance, accessibility, SEO and best-practice categories come back with what is slow and a link to the full Google report.
Prioritised next steps
Our models summarise what to fix first: images, caching, scripts or hosting. Humans review anything we quote on.
What to fix first
Raw scores are useful; ordered advice is better. We turn your results into plain guidance, clustered by impact, then surface the fixes that move Core Web Vitals the most.
That is the same mindset we use on client sites: images before micro-optimisations, caching before cosmetic rewrites, hosting before blaming the theme.
Images and hero weight
Modern formats, sensible dimensions and lazy loading often move LCP more than micro-optimising CSS.
Caching and compression
Browser cache headers, Brotli and a CDN edge can slash TTFB without redesigning the site.
Third-party scripts
Chat widgets, trackers and tag managers stack up. Defer or self-host what you actually need.
Hosting and TLS path
Solid UK hosting with sensible DNS is the bedrock everything else sits on.
Why it matters
Speed is not a badge for developers. It is how customers decide whether to stay, buy or call you back.
53%
mobile abandon rate
Google research: over half of mobile visits leave when load passes three seconds. Speed is revenue, not vanity.
Core
Web Vitals signal
LCP, INP and CLS feed real-world ranking signals. Fixing them helps humans and search engines alike.
