Once you enter your website URL, you will be able to see exactly how the site appears on different devices, including high, mid, and low tier cell phones, as well as desktops. A score will be assigned to your site ranging from 1 to 5. If you need to make improvements and changes, the detailed list you receive after testing will let you know what should be fixed.

PageSpeed Insights
