In this episode of Growth Detectives, Chris Planeta tackles the topic of page speed measurement and uncovers several common misconceptions and pitfalls.

He highlights the importance of considering user motivation and perception when evaluating page speed and emphasizes the limitations of single-snapshot and browser-based measurement methods.

Instead, he advocates for a more comprehensive approach that utilizes web analytics tools and real user data to gain a holistic understanding of page speed performance across different devices, locations, and user groups.

In this episode, Chris Planeta talks about simple web analytics tools and who they are for.

Simple web analytics tools are tools that track basic website information like number of visitors, bounce rate, top pages, traffic sources, and sometimes goals or events. They usually display data on one page and offer few options for segmenting or filtering traffic. Simple web analytics tools do not use cookies to track visitors, which is advantageous in terms of privacy but can also affect the accuracy of tracking.
