In fact, failing to run a mobile page speed test is the number 1 speed testing mistake we see our users make! If you’re unsure of how your website performs on a mobile device (or even got a poor result on a speed audit), stick with us. All of these things can be achieved with a faster mobile speed. Of course not.

However, you have likely used the Web UI that Google uses to allow you to test websites for speed – Google PageSpeed Insights. While PageSpeed Insights focuses solely on speed/performance, Lighthouse offers even more. It offers audits for best practices, accessibility, progressive web apps, SEO and of course, performance.

I keep seeing many articles and talks on “tuning” discussing how creating new indexes speeds up SQL but rarely ones discussing removing them. The more indexes, the more the requirement of memory for effective caching. Cache requirements for indexes are generally much higher than associated tables. What should we do?

You run a speed test on a website, and the results don’t match what you personally experience. Perhaps you feel like your site loads fairly quickly, but the speed test results are sub-optimal. Of course, you still won’t see the same loading time every test , so let’s look at some of the reasons why.
