AvocadoScore vs PageSpeed Insights
PageSpeed tells you the score. We tell you what to fix.
PageSpeed Insights is Google's free tool for measuring one page at a time. It gives you the score; you figure out what to do. AvocadoScore runs the same engine across your whole site, scores you for AI agents on top of search engines, and turns the result into a prioritised action plan.

If you can read a PageSpeed report and translate it into engineering tickets, you don't need us. If you'd rather have it done in 60 seconds with the AI side covered too, that's what we do.
What PageSpeed Insights can't tell you
The three findings every AvocadoScore report surfaces that other tools physically can't — because they audit one side of the visibility equation.
Whether GPTBot can read your site
We fetch your homepage twice — once as a browser, once as GPTBot — and compare. Big content drops mean LLMs see a stripped page; CDN bot-detection is the usual culprit.
Whether your llms.txt is actually useful
Presence isn't quality. We validate that your llms.txt has a heading, link count, and sections — the things that make it a real content map for answer engines, not a tickbox file.
Which one fix is the quick win
We rank recommendations by severity × effort and call out true quick wins. You leave with three things to ship Monday, not 47 findings to sort.
Questions, answered
Is AvocadoScore a replacement for PageSpeed Insights?+
It replaces the audit workflow, not the underlying data. PageSpeed Insights does its job well; AvocadoScore scans your whole site in one pass, adds an SEO and AI-readiness scorecard, and hands your engineer a ranked, copy-paste fix list — the parts PageSpeed Insights leaves out.
Does PageSpeed Insights check AI readiness?+
No. PageSpeed Insights predates the answer-engine era. AvocadoScore checks whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot can crawl, parse and cite your site — llms.txt, AI bot policies, structured data and server-rendered content — so you show up when people ask ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity instead of Googling.
How much does AvocadoScore cost?+
Nothing — the full audit is free, no signup, every fix unlocked. Re-run it any time to check after shipping fixes. An optional $9/mo Monitor adds automatic monthly re-scans and regression alerts if you want that too.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. Paste a URL and you get a shareable report in about 60 seconds — no browser extension, no CLI, no CI setup. The report is one link you can forward to engineering or a client.
