PageSpeed, Alexa claims my site is "Slow - 74%

Posted in: #Alexa #PageSpeed #Performance

Despite having favorable (90% or higher) metrics from YSlow / GTMetrix / PageSpeed, Alexa claims my site is "Slow - 74% of websites are faster than yours."

I can't find out how they determine this precisely nearly as easily as the algorithms that YSlow / GTMetrix / PageSpeed use.

I'm wondering a) how much Alexa matters in the site speed analysis game and/or b) also how to go about fixing any slowness that Alexa is discovering.

In 12 years of doing this, I have never used Alexa for anything and I don't know why anyone would. I think even YSlow has been abandoned but I could be wrong. The best tools are from Google PageSpeed and Chrome or Firefox dev tools along with webpagetest.org
