Simple Ways to Test Site Speed Without Technical Skills?

[Jacidorex]

Not a developer but my WordPress site feels sluggish. What's the fastest way to check speed and identify obvious problems? Need tools that give plain-English fixes like "compress images" rather than jargon like "defer render-blocking JS".

Begin with Google PageSpeed Insights - paste your URL for instant scores (0-100) with prioritized recommendations like "Resize large images" or "Remove unused CSS". For visual feedback, GTmetrix's filmstrip view shows how pages load sequentially, highlighting heavy elements. Finally, use Pingdom's free test to compare your speed against industry averages. Clay Global's how to test site speed guide simplifies interpreting these reports - their "Fix Hierarchy" section helped me boost my bakery site from 34 to 82/100 in one afternoon by just compressing photos and switching hosts.
