Google Pagespeed Insights for Wordpress

[Matt Keys]

I have been working on a Wordpress plugin for Google Pagespeed Insights for a long time now, and I am pleased to announce that it is ready for download to anyone who is interested. Thank you everyone here that has helped answer my questions while I was creating this plugin.

See below for some of the neat features of Google Pagespeed Insights for Wordpress:

Detailed Page Reporting

Sort your page reports by their Page Speed Score to prioritize the largest areas of opportunity on your site. Page reports utilize easy to read visualizations that allow you to quickly focus in on the most important data to improve your sites performance.

Report Summaries

Report Summaries are a powerful and exclusive feature of Google Pagespeed Insights for WordPress. Summaries display your average Page Score, largest areas for improvement across ALL reports, as well as best and lowest performing pages. Report summaries can be filtered to narrow results by: Pages, Posts, Categories, Custom URLs, and Custom Post Types.

Using Report Summaries allows you to ‘zoom out’ from the page-level and better understand the big picture of your sites performance.

Desktop and Mobile Page Reports

Best practices for site performance differ greatly between Desktop and Mobile device usage. Configure Google Pagespeed Insights for WordPress to generate Desktop reports, Mobile reports, or both!

Toggle back and forth between report types to see specific suggestions for improving the performance and experience on each platform.

There is a free version available at the Wordpress Codex including the above functionality any more.

I have also have created a premium edition that includes some extra functionality such as:

Report Snapshots

The Report Snapshot tool builds on the power of Report Summaries, to provide historical “Point In Time” data about your website.

Take a snapshot of any Report Summary screen to store that data for future retrieval. Add comments to your snapshots to provide additional meaning, such as “Before Installing W3 Total Cache.” Additionally, filter a Report Summary before taking a Snapshot to save a summary of the filtered data.

Snapshot Comparison Tool

The Snapshot Comparison Tool is an amazing utility that lets you visualize side-by-side results from any two similar Report Snapshots.

Take a Report Snapshot before installing new plugins, or before implementing performance recommendations. Take another snapshot when you are finished and compare your results to measure the effect of your changes.

Add/Import Custom URLs

Easily add additional URLs for inclusion in Pagespeed Reports. Even add URLs for non-Wordpress sites, even if they are not hosted on your server. URLs can be added manually, or upload a properly formatted XML sitemap to add multiple pages at once.

Custom URLs can be tagged and filtered in Report Summaries. Take Report Snapshots of your Custom URLs just like you would with any other report type.

Scheduled Report Checks

Configure Google Pagespeed Insights for WordPress to automatically recheck your site on a Daily, Weekly, Bi-Monthly, or Monthly basis.

With each scan, any new pages or posts will be discovered, and existing reports will be updated to reflect any changes to your site, as well as any changes in the Pagespeed recommendations.
