User Testimonials
	Catchpoint WebPageTest	Google PageSpeed Insights
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	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
Pros	No answers on this topic	Straight to the point Valuable feedback on performance Provide optimized assets (CSS, JS and images) Incentivized Carlos Eduardo de Souza Co-Founder Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	PDF reports Sending to someone else Setup monthly report running would be cool Incentivized Sanjit Mandal Digital Marketing Manager Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	It's a free, easy to use tool Incentivized Lindsay Halsey Co-Founder Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	There is no support from Google for the tool. Incentivized Lindsay Halsey Co-Founder Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	I've never used any software beyond PageSpeed Insights and Google Lighthouse (the source of the PAgeSpeed Insights software.) I've used similar programs like Hummingbird for WordPress that pulls the same data using the same engine, but its really the only game in town as far as I'm concerned.

Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Positive! It's easier to communicate with our clients where they are today with site speed and the steps needed to improve. Incentivized Lindsay Halsey Co-Founder Read full review
