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!

Help setting up FILTERS for External Payment pages?
Hi all, I own a webshop and believe my Google Analytics is not showing true data. At the moment when a user pays for their basket, they are redirected to an external secure payment page from my PSP, then after they have paid they are redirected back to my website. How is this visitor being counted? As the PSP-URL is a different site I assume this would be treated as an exit? Can I setup FILTERS to INCLUDE this URL so GA doesn't think its an external page or is there a better way? Thanks

Have You Ever Gotten False or Odd Notifications from Google Webmaster Tools?
I just got an email for one of my client websites from Google Webmaster Tools letting me know that the Google Bot could not access the website? The notification indicated that there may be a robots.txt issue that prevented crawling, but that they would try something to crawl it again. In this situation, we had just created a new Webmaster Tools account for the client, and there were (are) two GWT accounts now for the website, one that is incorrectly set to http://clientwebsite.com and the other that is set to www.clientwebsite.com. One of them reports zero errors, and the other reports an odd crawl error. Anyone encountered this type of thing before?

"not selected" is gone from Google Webmaster Tools Index Status Advanced
Just noticed today that the "not selected" has been removed from the Index status, Advanced section of Google Webmaster Tools. Anyone know why. I've used this metric to determine how or why Google was not selecting pages, particularly to gauge canonical's, 301's and duplicate content. It will be missed if gone for good.

Previously performing page no longer ranking
The best performing page on my website www.danielalexandra.com/personal-training/ has suddenly completely fallen off the google radar and all of my ranking results for keywords have dropped significantly as a result. My domain is only 4/5 months old but was already becoming relatively competitive and generating some interest until this? Any ideas as to why this may have happened?
