Google targets developersCommunityLaunched the webpage acceleration tool page speed. Page speed was previously used internally by Google and is an important tool for Google to speed up search engines.

Webpage response speed is an important factor for Google's search engine to succeed. When using the Google search engine, you can obtain the search results in just a few seconds. Some other Internet services of Google, including Gmail, respond very quickly.

Google has taken many measures to speed up website response. On the one hand, Google has implemented a minimal design for webpages and built a huge data center. On the other hand, Google has optimized the front-end design of the website so that the webpage can be loaded as quickly as possible.

Page speed is an important tool that Google uses to optimize website front-end design. Google recently opened the tool open source and integrated it into a Firefox browser plug-in firebug. This tool provides developers with advice on how to accelerate their websites in the best way.

According to Google's official blog, page speed can automatically optimize website images and provide compressed images that can be directly used in websites. The tool can also identify the JavaScript and CSS that do not work when loading a webpage. This will reduce the time for users to wait for webpage loading.

It is worth mentioning that some media have defined page speed as a "webpage acceleration tool for developers", which is not correct. Strictly speaking, page speed does not have any acceleration functions at all, not to mention Improving the webpage loading speed. It only provides some web page optimization suggestions to webmasters and web developers to help developers optimize the web page better and more conveniently. It may be better to say that page speed is a test tool.
