Website Speed Test.

Type any URL. We fetch it from our India servers, report time-to-first-byte, total load time, and bytes transferred, and link to the full PageSpeed Insights report.

Server-side fetch from our India edge. For a full Core Web Vitals report, follow the PageSpeed Insights link.

Page speed is one of the most direct and measurable SEO levers a small business has. Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal. Customers leave sites that take more than 3 seconds to start showing content. Every second of TTFB (time to first byte) above 600 ms quietly costs you traffic and revenue. The fastest websites in your category usually rank above slower competitors even when the slower ones have better content.

This tool runs a real-world fetch of any URL from our India edge server. You see the HTTP status, the time to first byte, the total download time, and the total bytes transferred. We grade the result Fast (under 1.5 seconds), OK (under 3 seconds), or Slow (over 3 seconds). For the full Core Web Vitals report including LCP, FID, and CLS, we link out to Google PageSpeed Insights with your URL pre-filled.

How to use the website speed test

  1. Paste any URL into the input. Include https:// for full accuracy.

  2. Click Run speed test. Our India server fetches the page. Results return within 1 to 15 seconds depending on the page.

  3. Read the four metrics. HTTP status should be 200. TTFB under 600 ms is good. Total load under 1.5 seconds is fast. Page bytes under 1 MB is reasonable for most small business pages.

  4. Look at the grade badge: Fast, OK, or Slow.

  5. For a full Core Web Vitals report (LCP, FID, CLS, INP), click the PageSpeed Insights link below the results. Google PSI gives you a complete breakdown plus specific recommendations.

  6. Run the test against three of your competitors too. If they are faster, you are losing traffic on speed alone.

  7. Re-run the test after any optimisation work to verify the change. Speed regressions are easy to introduce and hard to spot.

Why this matters for your business

Three reasons page speed deserves a permanent place in your monthly review.

It is a confirmed ranking signal. Google has officially included Core Web Vitals in the ranking algorithm since 2021. Slow pages get held back. Fast pages get a small but compounding lift. Across thousands of impressions over a year, the difference is substantial.

It affects conversion not just traffic. A 1-second delay in load time has been measured to drop conversion rate by 7 percent across e-commerce. A 3-second delay can halve conversions. The same visit on a faster site spends more, signs up more, and bounces less.

It is mostly fixable. Unlike content quality or backlink-building, speed is an engineering problem with known fixes: compress images, eliminate render-blocking JS, use a CDN, enable HTTP/2, cache aggressively. The fixes scale: implement once, applies forever.

Tips for better results

  • Aim for TTFB under 600 ms. If your TTFB is over 1 second, your hosting is the issue.
  • Aim for total load under 2.5 seconds on a desktop test. Mobile speeds are typically 1.5x slower.
  • Page weight under 1.5 MB is a reasonable budget for small business sites. Over 3 MB is heavy.
  • Compress images with our image-compressor tool before uploading. A single hero image can dominate page weight.
  • Enable browser caching and HTTP/2 in your hosting panel. Most managed hosts do this by default.
  • Move analytics scripts to async or defer so they do not block initial render.
  • Test against PageSpeed Insights for the official Google verdict and specific recommendations.

Example

A real-world walkthrough

A founder runs this tool against her bakery website https://copperoven.in. The result shows status 200, TTFB 380 ms, total 1.1 s, page bytes 720 KB, grade Fast. She runs it against a competitor and finds TTFB 1.4 s, total 4.2 s, bytes 3.1 MB, grade Slow. She knows the competitor will rank below her even when the competitor publishes better content because Google penalises the slower load. She opens her own homepage in PageSpeed Insights via the link, finds her LCP score is excellent but CLS is borderline, and spends 20 minutes fixing the layout shift caused by a Google review badge that loaded late.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is this test?

We measure a single fetch from our India edge server. It captures TTFB and total download time accurately for that one request. For a complete Core Web Vitals score that includes JavaScript execution and layout shifts, use PageSpeed Insights via the link in the results.

Why does my page show different times each test?

Real-world network and server response times vary. Run three tests and average. If results swing widely, the problem is server consistency, not our test.

My page failed with timeout. Why?

The fetch waited 15 seconds and got nothing. Either your origin is down, your DNS is mis-pointed, or your site refused our IP. Try again, or test directly from a browser to isolate the cause.

Does this run JavaScript?

No. We do a raw HTTP fetch and measure the network response. PageSpeed Insights runs the full browser including JS and is the right tool for measuring rendered performance.

What is a good TTFB?

Under 200 ms is excellent. Under 600 ms is good. 600 ms to 1 s is OK but worth optimising. Over 1 s is a hosting or backend issue and should be fixed first before any frontend work.

What is total load time?

It is the time from request start to the end of the HTTP response body. This includes connection setup, TTFB, and the actual transfer of the page HTML. Images and scripts on the page are loaded by the browser separately and not measured here.

Do you store the URL I test?

We log the URL and the timing data in our short-term server logs for abuse prevention. We do not associate it with you and do not share it.

How often should I test?

Monthly is enough for most small businesses. After any major site change or hosting migration, run the test the same day.
