Documentation

Everything you need to monitor your site, understand your reports, and grow through search with SpeedSEO.

On this page

Start here

SpeedSEO brings website monitoring and SEO into one product: page speed, Core Web Vitals, search performance, domain health, visual changes, and alerts for the websites you manage.

Create your first monitor

Add a production URL, choose how often SpeedSEO should test it, then save the monitor. No script tag, browser extension, or site deploy is required for lab-based monitoring.

Choose URLs to track

Start with pages that affect acquisition or revenue: home page, pricing page, key landing pages, high-traffic templates, and paid campaign destinations.

Connect Search Console

Connect a verified Google Search Console property to see clicks, impressions, CTR, and positions for each page and query. The connection is read-only, and you will be asked to reconnect if Google access expires.

Read your first report

Each report groups performance metrics, SEO checks, accessibility findings, best-practice issues, and domain health signals so teams can decide what to fix first.

Lab speed tests

Lab tests create repeatable measurements for the same page over time. Use them to catch regressions after deploys, plugin changes, design updates, tracking changes, and CMS edits.

Best first setup

Track the same URLs on a fixed schedule. Keep your test list short at first, then add templates once the first alert rules are tuned.

Core Web Vitals

SpeedSEO tracks LCP, INP, and CLS alongside supporting diagnostics like render delay, request timing, page weight, and blocking resources. Use the trend view to confirm whether fixes improved the page.

Domain health

Domain checks cover TLS certificates, DNS, email records, security headers, robots rules, structured data, and AI crawler readiness.

SEO actions

Instead of a long issue list, SpeedSEO ranks the few changes most likely to bring more clicks: queries close to page one, low-CTR pages, decaying pages, and pages competing for the same query. Each finding is tracked across sprints and only marked fixed when newer evidence confirms it.

Reports and alerts

Use alerts for threshold breaks and use reports for client communication. This keeps urgent issues separate from recurring optimization work.

Alerts

Start with a small set of alert rules for pages that matter. Add more rules after your team has seen a few normal fluctuations.

Client reports

Share reports when you need a compact record of what changed, what is slow, and what the next implementation step should be.

Visual changes

Screenshot comparisons help catch page changes that performance metrics alone can miss, including broken layouts, missing modules, and unexpected template updates.

API and MCP

Teams can pull SpeedSEO data into internal dashboards, client portals, automation jobs, and MCP-ready assistants.

API overview

Use the API to retrieve monitored sites, latest reports, historical checks, issue details, and report links.

MCP server

The SpeedSEO MCP server lets AI assistants list monitored websites, trigger speed tests, inspect speed history, review reports, check visual changes, and list active alert configurations without copying data manually.
