WP Engine Speed Tool

WP Engine is known for speed. As one of the top managed WordPress hosting companies worldwide, improving the speed of your website could be as simple as changing your WordPress hosting provider to WP Engine.

WP Engine offers a speed tool, which requires you enter personal information including your website address and email. The report is stored and emailed allowing you to share with colleagues. The report contains valuable information about speed, security, possible improvements, and its ‘chacheability’.

Other than WP Engine’s official speed tool, there are numerous other speed tools that will give you a clearer picture on what improvements are required to improve your website load time.

Almost all website speed testing tools are based on Google PageSpeed Insights aka Lighthouse.

However sometimes having a different UI, or a combination of tools better suits your fancy.

I highly recommend and use frequently GTmetrix.

There’s also Pingdom and WebPageTest
