Too often..

I dont use wordpress so I revel in the speeds I get with my own CMS, BluCMS. Statistics show, you can wait up to 6 weeks to wait for the average wordpress website to load. In fact, I have seen carrier pigeons deliver messages quicker than the average wordpress site.

We tend to check website speeds at least once a month when we carry out maintainence and updates across our clients sites.

This is a very good question when in all honesty I don't check the speed of my websites let alone on a regular basis. Are there any good websites out there which allow you to check website speeds and give you an idea of any ways in which you can speed up delivery of your site?

Once a month will do, but it's also important to check it every time there is a significant update to the site or pages in question.

Now you can use CWV report in Google Search Console. It is a good, accurate, and it is a ranking factor.

If there are big changes to the site or pages in question, maybe once a month. As a goal, you should work for a company where site speed issues would be raised by everyone at the company, not just the SEO team. It's more important than the impact it would have on SEO alone.

few times at one month, and after updates.

I'm kinda paranoid when it comes to any website lags so I do it almost daily.

I regularly monitor my website's speed, usually once a month or whenever I make significant updates to the site. It's essential to ensure that the user experience remains smooth and that I don't lose potential visitors due to slow loading times. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix are great for providing detailed insights into what might be slowing down your site and how to fix it. Does anyone else use specific tools or have a routine for checking their website speed?
