Webmaster level: intermediateAt Google, we’re striving to make the whole web fast. As part of that effort, we’re launching a new web-based tool in Google Labs, Page Speed Online, which analyzes the performance of web pages and gives specific suggestions for making them faster. Page Speed Online is available from any browser, at any time. This allows website owners to get immediate access to Page Speed performance suggestions so they can make their pages faster.
In addition, we’ve added a new feature: the ability to get Page Speed suggestions customized for the mobile version of a page, specifically smartphones. Due to the relatively limited CPU capabilities of mobile devices, the high round-trip times of mobile networks, and rapid growth of mobile usage, understanding and optimizing for mobile performance is even more critical than for the desktop, so Page Speed Online now allows you to easily analyze and optimize your site for mobile performance. The mobile recommendations are tuned for the unique characteristics of mobile devices, and contain several best practices that go beyond the recommendations for desktop browsers, in order to create a faster mobile experience. New mobile-targeted best practices include eliminating uncacheable landing page redirects and reducing the amount of JavaScript parsed during the page load, two common issues that slow down mobile pages today.
Page Speed Online is powered by the same Page Speed SDK that powers the Chrome and Firefox extensions and webpagetest.org.
Please give Page Speed Online a try. We’re eager to hear your feedback on our mailing list and how you’re using it to optimize your site.

Totally awesome, thanks!
A load time would be a useful addition - it's important.
Very usefull.
Very useful and one I'll be using and recommending often.
Now to to find out about Keep Alive!
Great.
Thanks for this new great tool to Google.
This tool would come in handy even though there are already some available in the net. Great job Google. You're becoming more webmaster friendly, I think.
Thanks for This Tool It is Really Helpful For All The Webmasters. Cheers GOOGLE...!!!
Another fantastic application by Google, its really useful for website, thanks Google
thanks for this tool...it is really useful for webmasters or developers to minimize the loadig errors..
It is really excellent tool. :-)
Online pagespeed score is giving diffent value according to firefoxs' pluging pagespeed extension.
This Page Speed report is very clean and superb. I like the "Serve scaled images" suggestions.
Thanks Google!
thank you so much for this great tool, recommendations are great, totally awesome!
Very nice to see page speed from mobile clients. One more tool added to the collection.
I'm widely different results based on what Add On or method I choose.
WebPageTest, Chrome Add On, Firefox Add on, and Google Labs version all run on the same SDK, right?
I've always used the Firefox Add On, and it matches the WebPageTest version, but the Labs version and the Chrome version score 35 points lower.
Any ideas?
Awesome & Usefull innovation. 3 Cheers to Google Guyz!!
nice, I hated explaining the old install method to people... it never went smoothly.
Page Speed isn't helping great design... I have a few websites where images are key: a commercial operation where the work and finish is immediately demonstrated by a beautiful photo slideshow of it, and two restaurants where each website page background is the gallery? (Boring if all websites are text and thumbnail galleries)
So great user experiences being penalised by poor Page Speeds – what't the optimised way forward? #Siteclinic
Online page speed tool is relly worthful tool as I found that somtimes page speed api does not work with the firebug. so this online application will overcome that problem.
Will there be a speed-up-google-chrome suggestion tool as well? Since you use adobe for the caching and I get error messages that the flash plugin has crashed on websites that don't have any flash on them, I'm assuming that adobe can't handle the flow.
The only reason I mention it here is the headline of this post and the statement that google wants the whole web to be fast.
I loved chrome when it was fast. Now I've had to go back to IE because of the problems with hanging up and adobe crashes.
I'd love to have like chrome 6 or something back when it was fast. Any plans to not use adobe for caching?
Your tool is great, but tell us on which bandwidth they are measuring results. In office i have high speed, but at home its only 256 kbps. Similarly in UK bandwidth must be very high so site gets open quickly where as in India its low. So just wanted to know how you guys are calculating.
This tool shows http://www.webpagetest.org/ complete detail including bandwidth person is using, server location etc. If in office its open quickly it doesn't mean it will work fine with masses. Even your gmail takes lot of time to load at my home so what should i say on that?
well i have tried it, and everything i read about it, says page-speed will make a report about the css, unused selectors etc. but I cannot find this report, and i don't see any improvements to css. anyone know where the reports are?
Love this tool. But you need Google recommend solutions to code size reduction.
(i.e use of BaseHref to remove url characters for all links.)
(i.e use of title attribute in links)
Or how do I turn on compression examples.
Totally cool Thanks !
