gtmetrix is stupid

[Gogol]

When Google's pagespeed score shows 31% (for mobile), gtmetrix says 91% structure and 98% performance. It's a client's site, so no screenshots lol. You have to take my words for it.

Lesson learned today: Do give it another check using another tool like Google page speed. gtmetrix is stupidly unreliable. :/

GTMetrix seems usability. Let's see, if in mobile your website doesn't fit right, or is not well mobile friendly, GTMetrix will rate it very poorly.

That is only a estimatition, you can't think they are constantly right.

That's I always use Google speed test tool and not GTmetrix

The free version of GTMetrix checks for desktop speed - it's different.
You can give a try to https://www.webpagetest.org/

Another tool I find interesting is: https://www.dareboost.com/ - you can check one free and 5 more monthly if you make a free account.

Agree you have to take the results with a pinch of salt. It's easy to get sidetracked by vanity but I think its better looking at the issues and decided whether or not they are actually problems. Also, you can normally tell if a site is loading fast or not.

what's your client's website url?
what industry is he in?
how much is he paying you per month? or he is paying you a flat fee?
where did you find him from?
is he looking to change seo providers?

Every time I test with GTMetriz my site gets different results without me changing anything.

[Josh Saga]

Thanks for this - I will check both from now on and not rely on just GTMetrix

 

[Brijendra Sial]

My most of the clients check speed on grmatrix and then ask me to fix those technical issues to boost the website . Why everyone uses gtmatrix? Idk

Did he PM you about these details? Also asking for his paypal email and password.

Nah, it is pretty accurate. I mean the site did have issues and we needed a base score to test against later on. I was amazed that the gtmetrix score was so high. It's an eyewash, not a tool.

Man you should also ask him about his girlfriends phone password. When you got those details comment here in this thread so the whole community can see them.
