Don't Use Google's Page Speed Insights Tool

Don't Use Page Speed Insight in Google Webmaster Tools unless you are a techie. It will confuse you, depress you, make you tear your hair out, and finally decide that your page is just better left alone.

I made the mistake of trying this tool and got a list of things to fix. There are links to info on how to "fix" those items. They might as well be written in sand script. I sure don't have the ability to figure out the instructions.

Of course, if you're curious go to Google Webmaster Tools>Other Resources>Page Speed Insight and have fun. If there is someone in WA that can interpret these fixit instructions I would sure like to see a plain English interpretation.

What can I say, it's been one of those days!

I've noticed my page speeds are getting worse when I haven't changed anything. Shouldn't they remain the same?

My experience with G Page Speed is that the results were not consistent. I run the speed test a few times, and each time the results were not the same. As a comparison, try Pingdom too.

Thanks, I'll look at that also.

What value of page speed is a typical value to getting ranked in the 1st page in Google?

This post should clearly be removed. You SHOULD us Google Page Speed Insights.... Get confused, learn how to fix stuff. April 21st is approaching fast :) Here's a link, so go and confuse yourself hehe https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/

I was just about to 'fix' my site. But when I checked my mentors' websites, they also have issues with their sites. My main concern was the js and I get freaked out when I saw all those 'bugs?' :P
Cheers.

Thanks of this I was just about to press analyse!! I won't bother :)

We have all had these days! It will be better tomorrow ;)

Sounds like my kind of tool

The Googlelites don't speak English. I try to figure out how to insert one snippet of code "somewhere" to activate "something" in Analytics. Why don't they include it in the frigging code in first place? They think everybody is a code genius
