What is a slow site costing you a month?
Speed arguments go in circles until someone attaches money to them. Your numbers, one honest assumption, a figure you can act on.

- PageSpeed InsightsGoogle's own. Use the mobile tab and read "Largest Contentful Paint" — that's the number to put in above.
- WebPageTestThe most thorough. Lets you pick a real phone and a slow connection, which is closest to a real customer.
- GTmetrixEasy to read and good at showing which images and scripts are the heavy ones.
- Chrome UX ReportSpeed from your actual visitors rather than a test machine. The most honest source, if your site gets enough traffic.
⚠️ These tools will disagree with each other, sometimes wildly. That's normal — they test from different places on different simulated devices. Trust the pessimistic one, because it's usually describing a real person on a phone.
Read this before quoting the number
- This is a model, not a measurement. It applies a general speed-to-conversion relationship to your figures. Your site is not the average site.
- Speed is rarely the only problem. If your conversion rate is 0.3%, the page is not slow — it's unconvincing. Fixing speed will not rescue a page nobody wanted to act on.
- The gain flattens. Going 8s → 3s changes behaviour. Going 1.4s → 1.1s mostly changes a score. Spend the effort where people actually notice.
- Test it properly first. Run PageSpeed Insights on mobile, or open your site on a phone with wifi off and count. Guessing your current speed makes everything below fiction.
