The idea is to turn numerous tests and keep many factors in mind to get in-depth analysis. The following are a few factors that need to be considered.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GTMetrix test locations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your GTmetrix speed test location and the proximity to your site can play a big role in determining the speed of your website and how well it is performing. It is always advised to choose a location near your target audience and the physical location of the webserver. It will be ideal for you if these two locations are in proximity to each other in order to get a faster loading speed.<\/p>\n<p>If all your target visitors come from a single location, this particular location will be ideal for you to test the website from that location. However, if the audience comes from different places and is spread across the globe, you need to choose four to five testing servers in important locations worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>You can pick a server each from the US, Asia, Europe, and Australia because if your servers are more spread out, you will get more accurate test results. If there is a bad load time from some of the regions, this might indicate that you need to start using Content Delivery Network like PageSpeedy.io which has in-built CDN.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Devices to test<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most people only test their site for them, and they don&#8217;t consider the mobile speed. Nowadays, any site needs to be <a href=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wordpress-speed-optimization\/\">optimized for mobile devices<\/a>, as different search engines consider it to be an important ranking factor. It is worth noting that around 50% of the internet traffic is mobile users.<\/p>\n<p>The speed of a site can vary across different devices, and it mainly depends on the website&#8217;s content. A low-powered mobile device might take more time to load a heavy page than a laptop or a computer. Therefore, if you have JavaScript on your web page, then it will load slower on the mobile and faster on the computers.<\/p>\n<p>It is for you to test your website across different connection speeds and various devices in order to get the full picture. GTmetrix is able to test multiple connection speeds for free, but you will need to sign up for a premium account for mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-228800\" src=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gtmetrix-speed.png\" alt=\"gtmetrix speed\" width=\"1923\" height=\"1085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gtmetrix-speed.png 1923w, https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gtmetrix-speed-1280x722.png 1280w, https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gtmetrix-speed-980x553.png 980w, https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gtmetrix-speed-480x271.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1923px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Target site pages<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you only test the homepage of your website, it will not be able to reflect its performance fully. For beginners, it might be possible that the homepage doesn&#8217;t contain many heavy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codester.com\/categories\/43\/scripts-code\">code scripts<\/a> compared to the other pages, and therefore, it will make your site appear fast.<\/p>\n<p>Often, there are product pages that tend to rank and attract maximum traffic, which means that the loading speed of the product pages gets more important than the homepage. Therefore, you need to test all the single pages on your website, apart from the homepage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Number of tests<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The number of tests is the last important factor in the GTmetrix test, and you have to conduct it in a way that the test result gets closer to reality. The test must be completed at different times of the day because the intensity of the web traffic may vary, depending on the time and day. In the case of a shared host, the site speed will depend on the number of resources that the server allocates to the site.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get the best of the results, it is important to conduct the hourly tests for a minimum of a week. However, it is also possible to gain sufficient insights by running the 5-10 tests for an hour or two. During the course of the days or weeks, your load speed may change, but a number of GTmetrix recommendations may not change with time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-228801\" src=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gtmetrix-for-wordpress.png\" alt=\"gtmetrix for wordpress\" width=\"880\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gtmetrix-for-wordpress.png 880w, https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gtmetrix-for-wordpress-480x164.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 880px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to use the GTmetrix speed test?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Basic User Test<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The basic user plan is free, and one can visit the main page of the tool, then enter the website URL and quickly get a full analysis. However, it is worth noting that you will be getting little flexibility when you will use the tool as an anonymous guest.<\/p>\n<p>You are forced to use the test location for the basic speed test, which uses an ultra-fast connection speed, and it is done for a desktop chrome browser. You may not be targeting your desired audience, and that is why a basic GTmetrix speed tool will not be able to reveal a clear and precise picture. Therefore, it is always advised to register as a free user and then conduct the test.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Registered User Test<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You are able to customize the following when you register as a free user.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Test devices<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You will be able to test for Chrome and Firefox for free and both for desktop devices.

In order to calculate the data, PageSpeed uses <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/web\/tools\/lighthouse\">Google Lighthouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The data is collected on the basis of Lab data that estimates the performance of the website in a controlled environment based on a number of metrics. The real-world field data capture the actual-world bottlenecks in the performance of a website and the user experience that it offers in reality. Its data is also based on a few metrics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>YSLOW<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is also a website speed testing tool scoring the loading speed of your website and offers a maximum of 15 recommendations for improvement. YSLOW has almost the same factors or metrics as that of PageSpeed. Besides each recommendation, there is an aero, and the aero can be expanded to see the meaning of each recommendation for your website.<\/p>\n<p>A few suggestions are graded to be more important as compared to others, and one can see this under the &#8216;priority tab. You don\u2019t have to run after the score that every tool is giving to your website. It would help if you were stressing the recommendations displayed by these tools and analysis to understand which suggestions can improve the site&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GTmetrix Waterfall chart<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You are able to get a deeper insight with the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Waterfall_chart\">Waterfall chart<\/a> as you will expose the exact bottlenecks in the loading speed of your website. Although, this chart can be a little tough for beginners to understand. You should be able to understand that every asset of your web page has an HTTP request mode to the site server.<\/p>\n<p>You also have to keep the &#8216;Request&#8217; tab in mind as it indicates the different assets that your web page has and need to be loaded by the browsers. In order to load each and every asset on your website, a number of steps are involved. Each asset goes through DNS Lookup, connecting, sending, waiting, and receiving.<\/p>\n<p>You will find Waterfall Chart to be the most technical aspect of the GTmetrix speed. But you will be relieved that GTmetrix offers a complete guide on how to read the Waterfall chart in a proper manner. This detailed guide can be found in the Waterfall graph section.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Timings<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is a single definition for the page load time, which means that a page gets fully loaded when all of the assets are processed and doesn\u2019t need any more downloading. But in the real world, there might be many ways to help one consider a page to be loaded. Normally a visitor cares about the time that a side takes to display content on the web page.<\/p>\n<p>The users perceive a website to be loaded as soon as something gets visible on the web page, even if it is half of the total assets of the page. This means that the website will be appearing to be loading faster than it actually does.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Video<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The video tab is helpful to understand the page loading structure for the visitors by video recording. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">video speed<\/a> can be slowed down by four times in order to identify any problems easily. It is also able to display a filmstrip view that offers a frame-by-frame view of the page load.<\/p>\n<p>With this particular feature, it gets easy to figure out the time it may take for the first content to be visible or if there is any unstyled content like fonts and texts, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>History<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is a very important GTmetrix tab because it helps you to view the results for all of the speed tests that you have conducted. It is worth noting that there is a limit for the free accounts to the number of tests that can be saved. There is an option to compare the old tests with the new ones side-by-side, and this is surely an impressive feature.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-228802\" src=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/how-to-use-gtmetrix.png\" alt=\"how to use gtmetrix\" width=\"1460\" height=\"730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/how-to-use-gtmetrix.png 1460w, https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/how-to-use-gtmetrix-1280x640.png 1280w, https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/how-to-use-gtmetrix-980x490.png 980w, https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/how-to-use-gtmetrix-480x240.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1460px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Setting up GTmetrix plugin in WordPress<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The primary step is to install and activate GTmetrix for your <a href=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/slow-wordpress-site\/\">slow WordPress site<\/a>.

During the course of the days or weeks, your load speed may change, but a number of GTmetrix recommendations may not change with time.<\/p><p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-228801\" src=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/gtmetrix-for-wordpress.png\" alt=\"gtmetrix for wordpress\" width=\"880\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p><h2><strong>How to use the GTmetrix speed test?<\/strong><\/h2><ul><li><strong>Basic User Test<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>The basic user plan is free, and one can visit the main page of the tool, then enter the website URL and quickly get a full analysis. However, it is worth noting that you will be getting little flexibility when you will use the tool as an anonymous guest.<\/p><p>You are forced to use the test location for the basic speed test, which uses an ultra-fast connection speed, and it is done for a desktop chrome browser. You may not be targeting your desired audience, and that is why a basic GTmetrix speed tool will not be able to reveal a clear and precise picture. Therefore, it is always advised to register as a free user and then conduct the test.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>Registered User Test<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>You are able to customize the following when you register as a free user.<\/p><ul><li><strong><em>Test devices<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>You will be able to test for Chrome and Firefox for free and both for desktop devices. You also have the option of testing Chrome on a Galaxy Nexus Android Device if you have a paid plan.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong><em>Speed of connection<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>You can get different broadband options down to 56K.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong><em>Location<\/em><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>There are different sites from which you can conduct a test. The areas include Sydney, Sao Paulo, Vancouver, Dallas, London, Hong Kong, and Mumbai.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>When your free account is created, then you have to enter the URL of your site in the bar\/box. According to preferences and requirements, you can select the test format, including your connection speed, location, devices, etc.<\/p><p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-228803\" src=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/why-gtmetrix-is-best.png\" alt=\"why gtmetrix is best\" width=\"744\" height=\"437\" \/><\/p><h2><strong>Advanced analysis option<\/strong><\/h2><p>You will be shown six different tabs under the advanced analysis option.<\/p><ul><li><strong>PageSpeed<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>With Google PageSpeed Insight, you are able to get a performance score from 0 to 100 for your website and nearly 25 different recommendations for improvement. In order to calculate the data, PageSpeed uses <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/web\/tools\/lighthouse\">Google Lighthouse<\/a>.<\/p><p>The data is collected on the basis of Lab data that estimates the performance of the website in a controlled environment based on a number of metrics. The real-world field data capture the actual-world bottlenecks in the performance of a website and the user experience that it offers in reality. Its data is also based on a few metrics.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>YSLOW<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>This is also a website speed testing tool scoring the loading speed of your website and offers a maximum of 15 recommendations for improvement. YSLOW has almost the same factors or metrics as that of PageSpeed. Besides each recommendation, there is an aero, and the aero can be expanded to see the meaning of each recommendation for your website.<\/p><p>A few suggestions are graded to be more important as compared to others, and one can see this under the 'priority tab. You don\u2019t have to run after the score that every tool is giving to your website. It would help if you were stressing the recommendations displayed by these tools and analysis to understand which suggestions can improve the site's performance.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>GTmetrix Waterfall chart<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>You are able to get a deeper insight with the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Waterfall_chart\">Waterfall chart<\/a> as you will expose the exact bottlenecks in the loading speed of your website. Although, this chart can be a little tough for beginners to understand. You should be able to understand that every asset of your web page has an HTTP request mode to the site server.<\/p><p>You also have to keep the 'Request' tab in mind as it indicates the different assets that your web page has and need to be loaded by the browsers. In order to load each and every asset on your website, a number of steps are involved. Each asset goes through DNS Lookup, connecting, sending, waiting, and receiving.<\/p><p>You will find Waterfall Chart to be the most technical aspect of the GTmetrix speed. But you will be relieved that GTmetrix offers a complete guide on how to read the Waterfall chart in a proper manner. This detailed guide can be found in the Waterfall graph section.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>Timings<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>There is a single definition for the page load time, which means that a page gets fully loaded when all of the assets are processed and doesn\u2019t need any more downloading. But in the real world, there might be many ways to help one consider a page to be loaded. Normally a visitor cares about the time that a side takes to display content on the web page.<\/p><p>The users perceive a website to be loaded as soon as something gets visible on the web page, even if it is half of the total assets of the page. This means that the website will be appearing to be loading faster than it actually does.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>Video<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>The video tab is helpful to understand the page loading structure for the visitors by video recording. The video speed can be slowed down by four times in order to identify any problems easily. It is also able to display a filmstrip view that offers a frame-by-frame view of the page load.<\/p><p>With this particular feature, it gets easy to figure out the time it may take for the first content to be visible or if there is any unstyled content like fonts and texts, etc.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>History<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>This is a very important GTmetrix tab because it helps you to view the results for all of the speed tests that you have conducted. It is worth noting that there is a limit for the free accounts to the number of tests that can be saved. There is an option to compare the old tests with the new ones side-by-side, and this is surely an impressive feature.<\/p><p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-228802\" src=\"https:\/\/sprout-flowers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/how-to-use-gtmetrix.png\" alt=\"how to use gtmetrix\" width=\"1460\" height=\"730\" \/><\/p><h2><strong>Setting up GTmetrix plugin in WordPress<\/strong><\/h2><p>The primary step is to install and activate GTmetrix for <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/?&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=google_wpcom_search_brand_desktop_row_en&utm_medium=paid_search&keyword=wordpress&creative=527156974469&campaignid=655562327&adgroupid=55312602867&matchtype=e&device=c&network=g&targetid=aud-1075264235881:kwd-313411415&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8vqGBhC_ARIsADMSd1DrPJ_KkrXu3kMsMTlKsjNmN4ay0RkHmQvrzzaur-YRQbJ5TikvbaQaAr7ZEALw_wcB\">WordPress<\/a>.
