Which are the best website reporting tools for speed and errors
-
Hi, i have just made some changes on my site by adding some redirects and i want to know what affect this has had on my site www.in2town.co.uk
I have been using tools such as Pingdom tools, http://gtmetrix.com but these always give me different time reports so i do not know the true speed of my site and give me different advice. So i am wanting to know how to check the true speed for my site in the UK and how to check for the errors to make it better
any advice would be great on which tools to use
-
Thank you alex i will have a look now. Cannot believe that different tools are bringing back different results
-
The loading speed of any website will vary.
I use the following to test speed:
- tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ gives a good visual breakdown (similar to GTMetrix)
- www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ gives some good recommendations
- Network tab on Google Chrome Developer Tools (Ctrl+Shift+I on a PC)
- there are also various plugins available like YSlow and Speed Tracer
Also check out this article: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/15-tips-to-speed-up-your-website
Are there any errors in particular you want to spot? http://validator.w3.org/ will pick up HTML validation errors, Xenu Link Sleuth will find crawl errors (as will the SEOmoz crawler, and Google and Bing's Webmaster Tools).
-
Hi Diane, you can also try GT Metrix . Free tool that gives you very detailed and accurate information on your site speed and recommended fixes.
-
thanks for that, will have a look now
-
Hi Diane,
For errors I prefer W3c Validator : http://validator.w3.org/
And for page speed Google web page speed : https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights
Try them out and let me know...
