Get your free mobile speed score from Google Lighthouse. Add your email to unlock every speed metric and the fixes ordered by impact.
The page speed checker runs Google Lighthouse on a simulated mobile device and reports five timing and stability metrics. Here's what each one means and what to aim for.
| Metric | What it tells you | Good on mobile | Poor on mobile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) | When the main content has appeared | 2.5 seconds or less | Over 4 seconds |
| First Contentful Paint (FCP) | When the first text or image appears | 1.8 seconds or less | Over 3 seconds |
| Total Blocking Time (TBT) | How long scripts stop the page responding | 200 ms or less | Over 600 ms |
| Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) | How much the layout jumps while loading | 0.1 or less | Over 0.25 |
| Speed Index | How quickly the page visibly fills in | 3.4 seconds or less | Over 5.8 seconds |
Targets from Google's Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse scoring guides. Speed scores: 90 to 100 is good, 50 to 89 needs improvement, and 0 to 49 is poor.
This is a lab test: one controlled run on a simulated phone. It's great for finding problems, but it isn't the same as what your real visitors experience on their own devices and connections.
Interaction to Next Paint (INP), the third Core Web Vital, needs real user interactions, so a lab test can't measure it. Total Blocking Time is the closest lab signal.
Scores can also move between runs because of server load, ads and network routing. So don't chase one number. Look at the trend over several tests.

Your report ranks the fixes by impact for your page. These are the ones that come up most often.
Large images are a common cause of slow loading, so serve them at the right size and in a modern format.
Heavy scripts keep the page busy and raise Total Blocking Time.
Files that block rendering delay the first thing a visitor sees.
Saved copies of your pages and files can reach visitors much faster.
If the server responds slowly, every other metric starts late.
Reserve space so content doesn't move while the page loads.

No, it tests mobile only. Mobile is usually the harder test, and Google mainly uses the mobile version of a page for indexing and ranking.
In Lighthouse, 90 to 100 is good, 50 to 89 needs improvement and 0 to 49 is poor. Treat 90 as a target rather than a requirement, because the score depends on the type of page.
Tools use different test devices, locations and connections, and results can vary between runs. Compare tests from the same tool over time.
It's one of many factors, and usually a smaller one than having the most helpful content. A fast page also gives visitors a better experience, so it's worth improving.
You probably have a fast device and connection, and your browser may have saved parts of your site. The test simulates a mobile device on a slower connection, loading the page fresh.
