Review LCP, CLS, TBT, FCP, and Speed Index from the Lighthouse test.

Prioritized Fixes

Opportunities are ranked by estimated savings so teams know what to fix first.

Page Weight & Requests

Passed & Failed Audits

Inspect individual Lighthouse audits behind the headline scores.

SEO Workflow Ready

Use the speed report before a full RankNova SEO audit, technical SEO cleanup, or GEO improvement plan.

Why speed matters for SEO and GEO

Website speed affects more than user experience. It influences how search engines and AI systems crawl, render, evaluate, and reference your public pages.

Speed signals for SEO

Google uses page experience signals as part of the broader search quality picture. A slow page can weaken crawl efficiency, engagement, and conversion even when the content is strong.

Core Web Vitals for GEO

AI search and generative answer systems still depend on accessible, fast, crawlable pages. Better performance helps crawlers fetch, render, and understand public content more reliably.

Technical fixes teams can act on

RankNova turns Lighthouse diagnostics into a saved report with page weight, requests, lab metrics, opportunities, and linked documentation for developers and SEO teams.

Website speed FAQ

What does the RankNova website speed test check?

RankNova runs a Lighthouse-powered audit for performance, accessibility, best practices, SEO, Core Web Vitals lab metrics, page weight, requests, and prioritized performance opportunities.

Is the website speed test free?

Yes. The public speed test is free for a single URL and does not require account setup before starting a guest report.

Why are mobile and desktop scores different?

Mobile Lighthouse runs with a slower device and network profile, while desktop uses a faster profile. The scores should be read separately because mobile is often the stricter SEO baseline.

Does RankNova store my speed test results?

Yes. RankNova stores the guest speed test result in the database so the report page can load the saved Lighthouse scores, metrics, audits, and opportunities.

Are Lighthouse scores the same as real user data?

No. Lighthouse is lab data from a controlled test run. It is useful for diagnosis, but field data from real visitors should also be checked for production Core Web Vitals decisions.
