Google PageSpeed Insights Sanjit Mandal Digital Marketing Manager Chose Google PageSpeed Insights The results are in the eyes of Google and as we know they are the most popular search engine.

JB Josh Bender Senior Web Developer Chose Google PageSpeed Insights Google's approach is a little different from competing services like WebPageTest and Pingdom by providing Google-specific benchmarks.

User Testimonials
	CognitiveSEO	Google PageSpeed Insights
Likelihood to Recommend	When we have clients that are in a competitive landscape we need to monitor their links (live and lost) more aggressively than others. CognitiveSEO allows us to get daily alerts on new links that come in so we can review these quickly and make decisions to disavow them before these links become a problem. Incentivized Joshua Titsworth Digital Marketing Specialist Read full review	It should be an essential tool for all website owners - everyone should care about page loading time from the CEO down to the junior web developer. Page speed is a factor that hugely affects visitor satisfaction, and Google takes it seriously by offering PageSpeed Insights. If you work in a larger organisation and focus on one particular part of website development and maintenance, such as a content writer, then this tool won't be as useful. It's intended for users with development or marketing-related responsibility Incentivized JB Josh Bender Senior Web Developer Read full review
