How fast is your Divi website?
Imagine having to wait hours for your food at a restaurant? All the other tables are served food, your stomach growling. Ultimately, you get tired of waiting and decide to go somewhere else to eat. The case of website visitors leaving without exploring the whole page is a similar case. Nobody likes waiting, especially on the internet where one can find alternatives easily. Luckily, there are plenty of tools that can be used to measure the speed of your Divi website.
Losing your visitors due to a slow loading page is not necessary. There are various things that can be done to increase the speed of Divi.
But, how do you measure the load time of your website? There are various tools out there that help you analyze the speed of your website, and here are a few of the best.
- YSlow
YSlow analyses web pages based on the high-performance rules framed by Yahoo! After analyzing the page, they also provide you with what might be slowing your website down and also summarizes the components of your website.
- PageSpeed Insights
PageSpeed Insights also analyses the components of your website and gives you suggestions on what to do to make that page load faster. All you have to do is add the URL of the page you want to analyse.
- GTmetrix
GTmetrix is a web page speed analysing tool that uses YSlow and PageSpeed Insights. It compiles the loading time analysis result from both the test and gives you plenty of information. It also allows you to monitor the loading time and set up alerts on your conditions.
