Which tools do I use to measure and optimize page speed?

Hi,

Eli here from TinySEO. Use Page speed insights or GtMetrix. I find these tools to be most helpful.

@Waqas97 ,
A few tools are commonly used to check and improve page speed.

Google PageSpeed Insights is usually the first one people use. It shows Core Web Vitals and gives recommendations on what might be slowing the page down.

GTmetrix is also very helpful because it shows a detailed waterfall report, so you can see exactly which files or scripts are taking the longest to load.

Another good option is Google Lighthouse, which is built into Chrome DevTools.
t’s useful for quickly testing performance while making changes during development.

Some people also use WebPageTest when they want to test from different locations or devices.

In practice, most developers use a combination of PageSpeed Insights for overall performance and GTmetrix or Lighthouse to dig deeper into specific issues.

For Speed Optimization Detail Guide refer this blog, you will get all in detail.

I am currently using Boostify:Page speed optimizer. It helps to load my store a bit faster. You can check the difference, if you hop over to google speed insights and measure your store performance.
