Jetpack Boost improves your site speed score and uses Lighthouse to measure the site speed score.
How my page speed score is measured?
Our speed scoring system runs on our servers using Lighthouse for precise web page performance evaluations. This methodology, trusted across the industry and utilized by platforms like pagespeed.web.dev and chromium-based browsers, assesses crucial factors, including load times, interactivity, and visual stability. By integrating Lighthouse into our infrastructure, Jetpack Boost ensures accurate speed scores that reflect your website’s performance.
Why do my site’s speed scores differ from Lighthouse?
Occasionally, you might see differences between the speed scores from Jetpack Boost and those obtained through Lighthouse. Such discrepancies can arise from factors beyond our control, like variations in network environments and server locations during each test. Although Jetpack Boost strives to closely match Lighthouse and pagespeed.web.dev, these external conditions can lead to minor differences. Understanding these differences helps you interpret your site’s performance more accurately, guiding targeted improvements where they’re most needed.
