Page Speed - What tool to use?
-
I am looking for a good tool to measure page speed. Any tools out there that you recommend?
-
Site 24x7 is quite good - http://www.site24x7.com/tools.html
Its more of an all round website monitor - but one of the built in aspects is response time.
-
First thing I would look at is Cache time. I see that one be different on a lot of the website speed tests.

Nice tool. Interesting results. I used pingdom and the site scored 98/100. Under the developers.google the site scored 55/100.
Thanks for the link. Now to find why the discrepancy.
-
That is a good one. The irony is that I use pingdom to monitor my sites. LOL. Thanks of the info.

I've found PageSpeed Insights (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights) to be very helpful. It offers suggestions on how to improve the performance of your site, based on the potential for improvement. By benchmarking your site against others in your industry (or top performers in other industries), you can compare not only the overall PageSpeed Score, but you can identify how the suggestions differ.
This enables you to identify possible competitive advantages/disadvantages. For instance, if you receive a high priority suggestion that your competitors have already implemented, you may be at a disadvantage; the severity of which dependent on the resources required to implement the suggestion.

tools.pingdom.com/ is one of my favorites!

Redirecting one domain to another using utm tags
I have two live websites, which have both been live for over 10 years, so we have plenty of backlinks to both...domain1.com & domain2.com. Domain 1 and all urls is being merged into domain2.com. So 301 redirects will be setup for every page of the site....domain1.com/abc-1234/ to > domain2.com/abc-1234/ In Google analytics for domain2.com we want to be able to see which visits we have received as a result of a redirect from domain1.com. It is possible to see these visits that come in via organic, referrals and social etc, as those will come to us with the referral as domain1.com. However, with direct traffic, i.e. if someone types domain1.com into their search bar, these visits will be assigned as direct and we are not able to tell in GA if those users have typed in domain2.com, or domain1.com to get to our webpage. There are some suggestions in forums of adding utm_source tracking to all redirects (and add canonicals to those urls pointing to the non utm_source version), but my concern is that Google is going to have to go through one extra step to reach the page on the redirected domain. So without the utm source code Google will follow this route
Reporting & Analytics | | Sayers
domain1.com/123/ to domain2.com/123/ With the utm source code Google will follow this route
domain.com/123/ to domain2.com/123/?utm_source... then see's canonical, so moves to domain2.com/123/ So essentially I am giving Google one extra step to follow before it gets to the equivalent page on the new site. Is this an issue, and/or are there any other ways to track this redirection without adding extra parameters to the url?0 -

When analysing my inbound anchor text am I using by page or site?
When checking to see my anchor text profile to make sure it's not too dense with the same phrases, should I be measuring against my whole site or page specific? eg if i have 100 links across my site and 20 are for the same phrase this is 20%, but if the same 20 phrases are to one page and that page has 40 links this is 55% Many thanks Ash

Unable to use Open Site Explorer
I have repeatedly tried to use Open Site Explorer on a site. I always get the same response:
Reporting & Analytics | | RyanKent
No Data Available for this URL
The site is 4 months old. It is listed by Alexa in 1.3 million page category. The site ranks well on numerous key terms for the industry it covers.
OSE offers 4 reasons for not having data:
1. Recency of page creation. In the explanation offered 45-60 days is the longest estimate it should take. The site has been live close to 120 days.
2. Deep down in the web. The tool doesn't even have any data for the site's home page.
3. Blocked pages. The site is listed in Google and these pages are not blocked.
4. No links. There are plenty of links.
Site url is www.terapvp.com
What can I do to fix this issue and get data?
