You can have the best website in the world, the best offers and the best products but if your website is slow then customers will simply disappear. How often you check your website speed?

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. :)

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.

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

Checking your website speed is important for improving your site’s performance, user experience, and SEO. There is no definitive answer to how often you should check your website speed, as it depends on various factors such as your site’s size, complexity, traffic, and updates. However, some general guidelines are:

You should check your website speed at least once a month, or more frequently if you make significant changes to your site or notice a sudden drop in your rankings or conversions.
