The tests combine real-user data from the Chrome UX Report with lab tests based on Lighthouse, so you see both how fast your site is for actual visitors and why.

Real-user data and lab tests: what each tool measures
Real-user data, also called field data, comes from the Chrome UX Report: how long actual Chrome visitors waited over the last 28 days. Google uses this data to assess Core Web Vitals. A lab test loads the page once under fixed conditions and shows which resources cost time. Lab scores can look good while real visitors still wait, and the other way round. The badge on each tool shows which kind of data it uses.

FAQ
Are the tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on this page works without an account. Only daily monitoring is paid.
Which tool should I start with?
With the website speed test. It shows real-user data and lab findings in one report and links to the specialised tools that fit.
What is the difference between real-user data and a lab test?
Real-user data shows how long Chrome visitors actually waited over the last 28 days; Google assesses Core Web Vitals on this data. A lab test loads the page once under fixed conditions and shows which resources cost the time.
Why does my site show no real-user data?
The Chrome UX Report only includes sites with enough Chrome traffic. For smaller sites, the lab tests provide the diagnosis.
