A free alternative to Google PageSpeed Insights
Google's own performance tool, powered by Lighthouse. It reports Core Web Vitals for a page and, where enough real Chrome traffic exists, field data from actual visitors.
What Google PageSpeed Insights does well
- The authoritative source for Core Web Vitals — it's Google's own measurement.
- Shows real-user field data when your site has enough traffic, not just lab simulation.
- Completely free, no account required.
- Detailed, technical diagnostics for exactly why a page renders slowly.
Where it stops
- It measures performance. It doesn't review your SEO metadata, security headers, trust signals, or whether your page actually asks visitors to do anything.
- Diagnostics are written for developers — it tells you about render-blocking resources, not about business impact.
- One page at a time, one run at a time. Nothing watches for regressions.
What MyWebsiteScore adds
- Seven dimensions instead of one: clarity, conversion, SEO, speed, trust, UX, and accessibility.
- Findings written in plain language, ranked by what's actually costing you growth.
- Weekly monitoring that emails you when your score drops, so a regression doesn't sit unnoticed.
Which should you use?
Use PageSpeed Insights when speed is the question. If you need exact Core Web Vitals numbers, or real-user field data to diagnose a ranking issue, go straight to the source — we'd tell you the same thing.
