What do my PageSpeed scores mean?
Google’s four scores, what counts as good, and why they move.
Each week we run Google’s PageSpeed test on your home page, as a visitor on a phone would see it. It gives four scores out of 100:
| Score | What it measures | Good |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | How quickly the page loads and becomes usable | 90+ |
| Accessibility | Whether people with disabilities can use it | 90+ |
| Best practices | Security and modern web standards | 90+ |
| Search (SEO) | Whether search engines can read it properly | 90+ |
50–89 needs work; under 50 is slow. The small ▲▼ shows the change since last week.
Why scores move
Scores vary a little from test to test, even with no changes, because of network conditions. Look at the trend, not one result. Big drops usually mean a new large image, a new plugin or a slow third-party script.
Care Plus includes a speed and search tune-up every quarter, guided by these scores. Real visitor speed is in What do the speed numbers mean?.
