Pros

I like the possibility to check website speed via different geolocations, or a different device. The tool is working well, the limits are ok. The recommendations are veru useful.

Cons

It would be great to get something like GIF/video for CLS on websites. It would be easier to see what exactly is creating a shift.

GTmetrix is a tool to see how fast our site loads and how it performs under pressure. We can run a test on our website, our competitor's websites, and across our industry. The results also point out areas that we can improve on to make our site faster. This is a great way to make sure our website isn't hurting our conversion rate.

Pros

This is a really cool analytics tool that shows us how our website performs in real-time. It's amazing to see how fast it loads and how much time it wastes.

Cons

It would be better if they add more test server locations for testing. Checking performance reports for different locations gives the exact standing of our site.

Pros

What I like the most about GTmetrix is its straightforward performance metrics, especially the Waterfall tab with its precise request-by-request visualization of page loading journey. Also the ability to choose from seven locations across five continents greatly help with CDN efficiency testing.

Cons

GTmetrix recently imposed a weekly limit of 30 tests for basic (free) accounts, I think this limit is way below expectations for the majority of users.

I am using GTmetrix for testing the speed and performance of my website. GTmetrix helps me to rank my website on search results by suggesting the fix on the performance test report.

Pros

GTmetrix is best for maintaining the web performance and speed of our website. It tests the different parameters related to time and generates detailed reports.

Cons

GTmetrix has less number of test locations. It is better if GTmetrix added more test server locations.

GTmetrix tests my website and gives the top suggestion that I need to fix for getting faster website loading speed. Performance metrics and browsing timings give us the exact speed index of our website.

Pros

I like the reporting and performance stats given by GTmetrix. And another best thing that I like is a waterfall chart, Waterfall chart gives the exact information about the all file size on my website along with loading time.

Cons

It has a limited test location, if they add more variation in test location, it is more accurate for a different variation of users.
