How can I see if my website is actually faster with OptiMole

If you have very fast internet and you are using a desktop, a 30 - 50% difference in image sizes won't really be noticeable in most cases. However, the same difference can be painful and can mean 10s of extra loading time for your users on Fast 3G and using a mobile device.

🕵️ Inspect Tool

Here is how you can actually simulate various environments and see how much Optimole helps : 

1

Launch your Google Chrome browser on your computer.

2

Right-click on any element of the webpage and select Inspect.

3

Select the Network Tab and then select the Img filter.

4

Next to Disable cache, open the dropdown and select Fast 3G.

5

Click on the device toggle and select iPhone 6,7,8 for e.g.

6

Enter your site in the address bar and click Enter.

Now repeat the same process, just instead of your website URL, try https://yoursite.com/?optml_off=true. Using this variable at the end, your site would load without Optimole, so you can see the difference. 

💡Result

Optimole ON

Optimole OFF

🔄 Alternative
