Want to check your website speed online without installing extensions, running a terminal, or signing up for a trial?
This howtoany guide shows how to get a free speed-focused score on MyWebsiteScore: paste a public URL, read the load-time findings, then fix what actually makes the page feel slow.
What a speed check should tell you
A useful score maps to real delays visitors feel, not a vanity number. MyWebsiteScore looks at:
- Load-time health — signals that the page takes too long to become usable
- Heavy assets — oversized images and media that dominate the request budget
- Technical friction — scripts, caching, and structure issues that slow first paint
- Related health — SEO, trust, UX, and conversion gaps that often sit next to speed problems
You are scoring a website people can open in a browser, not hardware. Use a real public page.
Steps
- Copy the homepage or landing page people actually open — a public URL, not a logged-in dashboard.
- Open MyWebsiteScore and paste that URL into the Website URL field.
- Click Analyze your website. The report appears in a few seconds with no account required.
- Review the speed section for heavy images, slow scripts, caching gaps, and other load-time issues ranked by impact.
- Ship the highest-priority speed fixes, then run the same URL again to confirm the score moved.
Tips for a cleaner speed check
- Score the URL visitors land on first, not only a light about page that never ranks.
- After you swap a theme, add a chat widget, or upload a hero video, re-run the same URL — speed often regresses quietly.
