Born from our AI Hackathon — now available for everyone
We've all been there. You run your website through Google PageSpeed Insights, get a score and a wall of technical metrics, and then... what? You're left wondering why your site is slow and what to actually do about it.
That frustration is exactly what inspired us to build PageSpeed by DeployHQ — a free, AI-powered website speed test that doesn't just show you numbers, but actually explains what's wrong and tells you how to fix it.
Born from an AI Hackathon
At DeployHQ, we regularly run internal hackathons to explore new ideas and experiment with emerging technologies. During one of our recent AI-focused hackathons, our team challenged themselves to answer a simple question: "How can we make performance optimisation actually accessible to developers?"
The result was the prototype that eventually became PageSpeed by DeployHQ. What started as a hackathon experiment has evolved into a fully-fledged tool that we're now excited to share with the wider community.
What Makes PageSpeed by DeployHQ Different?
Unlike traditional speed testing tools that dump metrics on you and leave you to figure things out, our AI-powered analyser does the heavy lifting. Here's what sets it apart:
AI That Actually Explains the Problem
Instead of just telling you that your LCP is 4.2 seconds (and leaving you to Google what LCP even means), our AI diagnoses the root cause. It might tell you: "Your React application is loading unoptimised images in the hero section. These PNG images total 2.4MB and are being rendered at full resolution regardless of viewport size."
Framework-Specific Recommendations
This is where things get really useful. Our AI understands 15+ frameworks and platforms — WordPress, React, Vue, Next.js, Shopify, and more. So instead of generic advice like "optimise your images", you get actionable guidance tailored to your stack.
Running a Next.js app? You'll get specific code examples showing you how to implement the Next.js Image component. On WordPress? You'll get plugin recommendations and configuration tips that actually work.
Impact Predictions
Each recommendation comes with an estimated impact score, so you know where to focus your efforts. Our AI predicts expected improvements based on patterns learned from analysing thousands of websites.
AI-Agent Ready Prompts
Here's a feature we're particularly proud of: every recommendation includes ready-to-use prompts that you can feed directly into AI coding assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, or GitHub Copilot. This means you can go from diagnosis to implementation in minutes, not hours.
Why Core Web Vitals Matter
If you're not familiar with Core Web Vitals, they're Google's metrics for measuring real-world user experience on your website. Since 2021, they've been a direct ranking factor for search results. The three key metrics are:
LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) — How fast your main content loads. Aim for under 2.5 seconds.
INP (Interaction to Next Paint) — How quickly your site responds to user interactions. Aim for under 200ms.
CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) — How stable your visual layout is. Aim for under 0.1.
Studies show that a 1-second delay in page load can result in a 7% drop in conversions. Faster sites rank higher, retain visitors longer, and convert better. It's that simple.
Give It a Try — It's Free
We've made PageSpeed by DeployHQ completely free to use. No signup required, no credit card, no catch. Just enter your URL and get your AI-powered analysis in about 30 seconds.
Whether you're a freelancer optimising a client's WordPress site, a startup founder trying to improve your React app's performance, or an agency managing multiple properties — we think you'll find this tool genuinely useful.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good page speed score?
A score of 90-100 is considered good, 50-89 needs improvement, and below 50 is poor. However, don't obsess over the number alone — what matters most is your Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) being in the green zone, as these directly impact user experience and SEO rankings.
How is this different from Google PageSpeed Insights?
Google PageSpeed Insights gives you metrics and generic suggestions. Our tool goes further by using AI to analyse why your site is slow and provides framework-specific fixes. If you're running WordPress, you get WordPress solutions. If you're on React, you get React code examples. We also include AI-agent ready prompts so you can implement fixes faster with tools like ChatGPT or Claude.
Does page speed actually affect Google rankings?
Yes. Since 2021, Core Web Vitals have been a direct ranking factor for Google search results. Studies show that faster sites are 53% more likely to rank on page one. Beyond SEO, there's a direct business impact too — every 1-second delay in page load can result in a 7% drop in conversions.
What frameworks and platforms do you support?
Our AI understands 15+ frameworks and platforms including WordPress, React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt, Shopify, Angular, and more. The recommendations you receive are tailored specifically to your tech stack.
Is it really free?
Yes, completely free. No signup required, no credit card, no usage limits. We built this as a hackathon project and wanted to share it with the community. Just head to pagespeed.deployhq.com and enter your URL.
How long does the analysis take?
Most analyses complete in about 30 seconds. Our AI runs a comprehensive check across 100+ performance signals before generating your personalised recommendations.
Can I use the recommendations with AI coding assistants?
Absolutely — this is one of our favourite features. Every recommendation includes ready-to-use prompts that you can paste directly into ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, or any other AI coding assistant to help you implement the fixes quickly.
What's Next
PageSpeed by DeployHQ is just one example of how we're exploring AI to make developers' lives easier. It fits naturally alongside our core mission at DeployHQ: helping you ship code faster and with more confidence.
We'd love to hear your feedback. Try the tool, see what insights you get, and let us know what you think. Your input will help shape where we take this next.
Happy deploying!
