Lab data: Lighthouse 13.4.1 mobile run, graded above · Reproduce this run on PageSpeed Insights ↗

Real visitors (Chrome UX Report) Not enough Chrome traffic for field data on this page or its site, so only the lab run above is available.
Why is this different from the score in my browser?

This view grades the mobile run. Lighthouse 13.4.1 runs at Google through the PageSpeed Insights API on an emulated mid-range Android with a 4× CPU slowdown and a throttled connection. Chrome DevTools on your own machine, on the Desktop preset, applies almost none of that, and the same page routinely scores 30–50 points higher there. Neither number is wrong — they are different tests.

Mobile is what Google ranks on, so this is the number that affects your search performance. This report predates the desktop-graded headline: only the mobile run was graded. To reproduce it, open the same run on PageSpeed Insights, or pass strategy=mobile to the PageSpeed API — it defaults to desktop.

Lighthouse also varies a few points run to run on the same URL. Treat a trend across several scans as the signal, never a single digit.

Lab data: Google PageSpeed Insights (Lighthouse, mobile). Server probes (TTFB, compression, cache, headers) are measured separately from Vilnius, Lithuania (EU).

xSpeed is a WordPress plugin, so it can't automate Express fixes — and that's fine. Every check below links its official guideline, and the machine-readable twin of this report gives an AI everything it needs to plan the work (8 checks name a concrete remediation):

Hosting is half of every score. Whatever the stack — Express included, the server behind it sets the floor on TTFB. xCloud — from the team behind xSpeed — hosts any platform (this site's own scanner runs on it), with agent/MCP access built in and bring-your-own-server pricing.
