Google PageSpeed

The Google PageSpeed connection runs an analysis of a URL through Google PageSpeed Insights and returns technical performance results for the page. It is suitable for a quick check of websites, landing pages, and changes after a release.

When to Use It​

Use it when an agent needs to evaluate the performance of a specific page, identify key issues, and prepare recommendations for development or marketing.

Setup​

  1. In Connections, click on Add Integration.
  2. Select Google PageSpeed.
  3. Fill in the required API key or authorization details according to your organization's settings.
  4. Assign the connection to the agent that will analyze the web pages.

What the Tool Can Do​

  • analyze a single URL,
  • return raw output from Google PageSpeed Insights,
  • provide materials for a summary of performance, issues, and recommendations.

Security and Confirmation​

The tool only reads publicly available URLs and does not make any changes. Confirmation is typically not needed. For internal or non-public URLs, ensure that the agent does not share sensitive content outside of the approved context.

Example Usage​

Measure PageSpeed for our pricing page and write down the three most important technical issues we need to address.

Verify the result by running the same URL in PageSpeed Insights or in Run Tools.

Technical Notes​

  • Implementation: The connection calls Google PageSpeed Insights.
  • Authentication/scopes: uses a Google PageSpeed/API key; no end-user OAuth scope is required for public URL analysis.
  • Functions: analyze a URL and return PageSpeed/Lighthouse metrics and diagnostics.
  • Write behavior: read-only. Results are external diagnostics and should be interpreted together with real user monitoring or analytics when available.
