GTmetrix Reviews

What Is GTmetrix?

GTmetrix gives you insight on how well your site loads and provides actionable recommendations on how to optimize it

GTmetrix comes with free and paid plans, but you won’t need to pay unless you hit the limits of the basic (free) plan or you need specific features available only for paid plans. For now, we’ll only focus on the free features of GTmetrix, since most of the paid features are available when using GTmetrix in conjunction with other page speed test tools.

While GTmetrix is useful when you want to compare the results of different services, it doesn’t mean you should only use GTmetrix when testing the speed of your website, since it won’t necessarily give you the same recommendations given when using each tool separately.
