Page Speed - What tool to use?
-
I am looking for a good tool to measure page speed. Any tools out there that you recommend?
-
Site 24x7 is quite good - http://www.site24x7.com/tools.html
Its more of an all round website monitor - but one of the built in aspects is response time.
-
First thing I would look at is Cache time. I see that one be different on a lot of the website speed tests.

Nice tool. Interesting results. I used pingdom and the site scored 98/100. Under the developers.google the site scored 55/100.
Thanks for the link. Now to find why the discrepancy.
-
That is a good one. The irony is that I use pingdom to monitor my sites. LOL. Thanks of the info.

I've found PageSpeed Insights (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights) to be very helpful. It offers suggestions on how to improve the performance of your site, based on the potential for improvement. By benchmarking your site against others in your industry (or top performers in other industries), you can compare not only the overall PageSpeed Score, but you can identify how the suggestions differ.
This enables you to identify possible competitive advantages/disadvantages. For instance, if you receive a high priority suggestion that your competitors have already implemented, you may be at a disadvantage; the severity of which dependent on the resources required to implement the suggestion.

tools.pingdom.com/ is one of my favorites!

Which page speed tools do you trust?
We are at a loss. We have been following Google Pagespeed Insights which gives us horrible marks. Nothing we do seems to really make a difference. GTMetrix and Pingdom give us much better scores. We don't know what to do...

Any idea why this page is an absolute magnet for bots?
This page on our client's website seems to be an absolute magnet for bots, and it's skewing our Google Analytics stats: https://cbisonline.com/us/catholic-socially-responsible-esg-investing/proxy-voting/ We already filter out lots of bots in GA, primarily through a segment we created several years ago and continue to build upon, but plenty of spam traffic still manages to slip through – mostly to the page above. Last quarter, almost all of it came from two random cities in Europe, so we're going to filter out traffic from those places. (At least for now – not an ideal solution, I know.) But I'm really wondering what drives so many bots to that page in particular. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Webmaster Tools equivalent to Change Default Address found in Analytics
Hello all! We're changing from http to https. In Google Analytics there is an option to change the default address so we keep our historical data. I can't find a similar option in Webmaster Tools though. Do you have to setup a new property or is there an option to change your current one? Thanks in advance!

Tools For Analysing Backlinks
Does anyone know of a good tool that analyses backlinks? I have already tried Link Research Tools and found it very useful but it is very expensive. Does anyone know of an alternative that does the same thing, i.e. will tell you what links are causing harm to your site?

Anyone notice a drop in results using site operator?
I set our site's preferred domain back on January 28. We had a www and non www domain being indexed. Since then, I've seen the number or results for our site site operator (site:) decline dramatically. Not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing. So, I'm trying to see if it's unique to our site. My gut is that the numbers are probably leveling out to where they should be and the duplicates are falling out, but I would think that as I see number of results for non www decline, the number of results for www would increase. Any thoughts? Anyone else seeing fluctuations in results using site: ? Lisa

Why such a high page rank with so low metrics in OSE
Hi,
Reporting & Analytics | | sebastiankoch
The website is:
www.s123parka123ble.com (remove the 123) All websites I have ever seen with similar metrics in OSE have normally a PR of 2 or 3 or max 4. This one is PR 5 and I would like to know why. I also noticed that they do not redirect the urls without www. to www. Which is normally bad ... can it be good for some reason in this case? It is PR 5 since a long time I just can´t get why it is PR 5. Please have a look. Thanks!0 -
Page Views Plummeted
Since using SEOMoz to diagnose and address issues with my site www.esecaucus.com, my page views have plummeted while my number of visits and unique visitors has remained intact. Does this mean that previously the amount of page views were artificially inflated by some kind of technical error in the site?
