The scores provided from this tool is meant to guide web developers to make the necessary modifications to improve site performance and SEO. On average, have a score in the green is good but can be difficult to design if your website is heavy with large graphics and other complex coding.
SITE SPEED
We used this Mozbar web browser tool to measure site speed. We refreshed the site up to 5 times and took the best load time. Websites can be slow to start up, but once your cookies have been saved, a website loads significantly faster. Nonetheless, your website should have a fast load time. If it’s taking more than a few seconds for your page to load, you’re like to lose prospective clients.
