Trick for Google pagespeed insights

If you have High DA, nothing else matters, even if you write gibberish. But they said page speed score (FID, CLS, LCP) will be a ranking factor fro 2021, better to fix this now if you have low DA.

Page Speed may be a vanity metric but if google says you need 75, you need to achieve that for better rankings.

Gtmetrix score- I don't care that much. I care about the things that show up on search console (FID, CLS, LCP) which impact rankings.

I think that even google doesn't know what they are doing with FID, CLS, LCP. But hey if its in the search console I need to fix that.
This is correct point and analyse.
 
These tricks are being used by cheap fiver freelancer to fool thier clients and show their website speed is improved for a couple of bucks.
 
Let me test this out and get back with the results. Thank you for sharing!
 
I have tested this script on my site. And got a few improvments on google pagespeed score.
 
Unfortunately, this does not work for me. Maybe I'm not doing it properly. :(
 
I don't know to code and I have been struggling for too long on this issue would you give me a hand, please. thank you
Bump to this.

Do you have a more detailed explanation of how to implement this for people that do not know code but are brave enough to try.
 
Stop chasing scores , percentage & colors- they are meaningless and even the good scores can lie.

There are optimization techniques that can trick out the testers but you have to dig deeper, beyond the scores, to the data. Each online tester gives you part of the answer :)

Have you got recommendations
 
Cool, I'll try it. But what benefits does it have? Does it make any impact ?

Third-party speed tests (including Google's) are there to help you identify potential issues with your site. They don't and aren't directly related to your actual organic rankings. Though, if you take into consideration what you need to improve you might see better organic rankings over time.
 
This is accurate.

Page Speed Insights tool is irrelevant. Nothing more than a vanity metric.

You need to make sure that your site has a fast time to first byte and content paint times.

Don't manipulate your code for a vanity score, instead making sure the page loads fast for the user.

Don't believe me?

Check out Amazon on Gtmetrix. I think Amazon may have spent one or two dollars on optimising their website in the last 20 years or so... ;)

I don´t think is fair to use such an authoritative site like Amazon to validate your point.

Amazon doesn´t need to optimize their site as per SEO because of PEOPLE LAND ON AMAZON DIRECTLY!

People don´t visit Amazon because they ren a search query on Google and the first couple of results just happened to be an Amazon page.

I am NOT stating those metrics are critical to the success of any site but they do matter a lot more of what you´re implying.

I am also NOT stating you need to break the bank and go crazy changing everything on your site in order to achieve a "PERFECT" score on tools like GTMetrix, PageSpeed Insights and such but I do believe you should take their advice into account.

Most of their reports will tell you stuff like...
  • Optimize images
  • Minify and defer CSS and JS
  • Use a CDN
  • Reduce HTTP requests
  • Among a few others
Aren´t these like "standard" issues we need to address in order to further optimize our site page loading speed?

I 100% agree many people get hooked up way too much on getting that perfect score and that´s obviously a mistake.

Nowadays it´s all about enhancing UX for our visitors but, I don´t think minimizing the value of those tools nor sacrificing UX in order to achieve a perfect score in them is the way to go either.

Ignore the scores and the headings look at the details especially the waterfall. If you don’t know how to interpret the waterfall click on the help there’s plenty of documentation on how to interpret it and fix it.
