Page Speed Analyzer

Paste your page HTML to analyze loading performance. Detect render-blocking resources, oversized payloads, missing optimizations, and get a scored report with actionable recommendations for AI search.

Why Page Speed Matters for AI Search

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is not just about content. Technical performance directly affects whether AI search engines can crawl, parse, and cite your pages.

AI Crawlers Have Timeouts

When Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, or Google's AI crawler fetches your page, they operate under strict timeout budgets. Slow pages get partially parsed or skipped entirely — meaning your content never makes it into AI answers.

Page Speed Signals Content Quality

AI systems increasingly use technical quality signals alongside content signals. A fast, well-structured page signals intentional, professional publishing — the kind of source AI prefers to cite.

Render-Blocking Resources Hide Content

Scripts and stylesheets that block rendering delay the point at which page text becomes available. If an AI crawler's parser encounters render-blocking resources before reaching your content, it may fail to extract it.

Core Web Vitals Affect Discoverability

Google's AI Overviews draw from the same index as organic search. Pages with poor Core Web Vitals — especially Largest Contentful Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift — rank lower and appear less in AI-generated answers.

Images Need Context, Not Just Speed

AI crawlers cannot see images — they read alt text and surrounding content. Missing alt text means lost opportunities for your visual content to be understood and referenced in AI responses.

Modern Formats Save Bandwidth

WebP and AVIF images are 30-80% smaller than JPEG and PNG. Smaller pages load faster, reducing the chance of crawl timeout and improving the user experience that AI systems are trained to prefer.
