VERDICT

Should I use SpeedVitals?

Run a free website speed test from 30+ locations and devices. Measure Core Web Vitals, analyze page speed, and get practical optimization recommendations. - speedvitals.com

Worth it. Buy if you regularly test site speed across regions — developers, SEOs, and agencies get real value from the free tier and paid plans. Skip it if you only need an occasional single-page check; Google PageSpeed Insights covers that for free.

Confidence
