Mobile 47
Desktop 49
Poor

I'm not happy with mine ever since  I had it redesigned  and mobile friendly it has dropped down the Google ranking.
I had some Seo work done and asked the designer to look  at it's performance and still it seems to get worse.

Well, it'll tell you in the google results there what needs to be done to improve it. I expect from those figures your images are far too big as well the usual minifying and CSS requirements.

yeah it gave me list of problems and minifying css was one as well as
minifying html
optimising images
minifying java script
leverage browser caching
enable compression.
The only thing is most of the above means nothing to me but I'm going to forward it on to the designer.

I don't know what platform your site is built on, but quite often doing everything google suggests causes the site to crash. You usually have to do the minifying etc one step at a time, clear your browser cache, check it on a few browsers possibly, then if all is okay move on to the next suggestion.

Optimising the images is usually the single largest thing you can do from the list which is handy as its easy enough. You need to check also how much each action will be improved by. If its in the kilobytes I usually don't worry. A few kilobytes is nothing, its not worth the time and effort.

My site is a Wordpress site that I had designed and then hosted by them and that's about as much as I know.It wasn't an expensive site but I know it can be improved.

Thanks for the pointers and feedback.

The pagespeed test is synthetic & many items (not all) that reduce your score have zero real-world impact on your site usability or ranking.

For example - you loose points for loading Google fonts direct from Google servers,.. even though this is how they're supposed to be used & is usually much faster than loading them locally. You also loose points for not caching Google analytics code - something that is designed not to be cached anyway!

There are some obvious things like image optimization that you should look at - but the pagespeed scoring system will deduct the same number of points if your could save 2kb or 20mb, so even this metric should be looked at objectively.

CSS, HTML & JS minification is worth doing - but again, some sites don't render properly when minified, so it depends on your specific setup.

I just did a bit of work on Shrek's site - it was originally scoring 23 on mobile and 28 on desktop.... last check gave results of 73 on mobile and 82 on desktop. Very little of what I did had any real world impact though - most of it was just to satisfy the synthetic scoring. I replaced 2 image files and saved 4.3kb (A tiny amount of data) and the score jumped up 10 points,... so the scoring is not accurate at all...

You the man nat - cheers! 👍
