PageSpeed Insights
Run mobile Lighthouse audits from the WordPress Media page.
The WordPress plugin can queue a mobile PageSpeed Insights audit for your site from the Media screen. Results help you validate changes to warming, Managed CDN assets, Critical CSS, and image optimization.
INFO: Starter and above
PageSpeed scores are included from Starter upward, with a daily audit cap that increases on Pro and Business.
Run an audit
- Enable PageSpeed tools — In Media, unlock PageSpeed if your plan includes it.
- Click Run mobile PageSpeed — The plugin queues an audit for the site home URL via Cache Rocket.
- Review scores and metrics — Use lab results (performance and related metrics) to prioritize fixes.
WARNING: Lab data ≠ field data
Treat Insights as a diagnostic. Search Console / CrUX field data remains the source of truth for real-user Core Web Vitals.
Common questions
Do audits upload assets to Managed CDN?
No. PageSpeed audits measure; they do not publish optimized assets.
What happens when I hit the daily cap?
New audits wait until the next day or until you upgrade to a higher daily allowance.
Can I run desktop audits?
The Media action queues the mobile PageSpeed flow documented in the plugin.
