Test current speed

Last updated Apr 16, 2026 Before you begin using APO, we recommend testing your current site speed. Your site speed results give your website a letter grade and performance rating.

  1. Visit GTmetrix ↗︎.
  2. In the text field, enter your website's URL.
  3. Click Test your site.

After the test runs, you can view your site's grade, performance rating, and other performance metrics.
