01The test

Lab scores and real visitors, side by side.

Each test runs Google PageSpeed Insights (Lighthouse) for a page on a phone, a computer or both.

  • Performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO scores out of 100
  • Core Web Vitals from real Chrome visitors over 28 days, where Google has the data: Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift
  • First Contentful Paint and Time to First Byte
  • The website’s setup, such as WordPress or Cloudflare, recognised so the advice fits
  • Every test kept, so you can see a change land

Steps for your platform

How to fix each finding on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace or Webflow: the menus to open, how long it takes, and what your platform already does by itself.

05FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else? Ask us.

What are Core Web Vitals?

Google’s three measures of how a page feels to use: Largest Contentful Paint, how fast the main content appears (good is 2.5 seconds or less); Interaction to Next Paint, how quickly the page responds (good is 200 ms or less); and Cumulative Layout Shift, how much the page jumps (good is 0.1 or less).

Why are my lab scores different from my Core Web Vitals?

Lab scores come from one test on a simulated phone or computer. Core Web Vitals come from real Chrome visitors over 28 days, on their own devices and connections. Use the lab test to find what to fix, and the real-visitor data to see whether it helped.

Do Core Web Vitals affect rankings?

They’re part of the page experience Google considers, one signal among many. Good Core Web Vitals won’t outrank more relevant content, but a slow page loses visitors before they read it.

Can Arva SEO fix my page speed?

On WordPress, the free Arva SEO plugin fixes many PageSpeed findings with switches you try first. On other platforms, each finding comes with steps for your platform.

How many PageSpeed tests do I get?

Free includes 10 tests a month, Starter 50, Professional 150 and Business 500. One page on one device uses one test, and 100 more tests cost $5 a month on any plan.
