Page Speed for Chrome, and in 40 languages!

Tuesday, March 22, 2011


This article is cross-posted on the
Google Code Blog.

Today we’re launching the most requested feature for
Page Speed,
Page Speed for Chrome.
Now Google Chrome users can get Page Speed performance suggestions to make their sites faster,
right inside the Chrome browser. We would like to thank all our users for your great feedback and
support since we launched. We’re humbled that 1.4 M unique users are using the Page Speed
extension and finding it useful to help with their web performance diagnosis.

Google Chrome support has always been high on our priority list but we wanted to get it right.
It was critical that the same engine that powers the
Page Speed Add-On for Firefox
be used here as well. So we first built the
Page Speed SDK,
which we then integrated into the Chrome extension.

Page Speed for Chrome retains the same core features as the Firefox add-on. In addition, there are
two major improvements appearing in this version first. We’ve improved scoring and suggestion
ordering to help web developers focus on higher-potential optimizations first. Plus, because
making the web faster
is a global initiative, Page Speed now supports displaying localized rule results in 40 languages!
These improvements are part of the Page Speed SDK, so they will also appear in the next release
of our Firefox add-on as well.

If your site serves different content based on the browser’s user agent, you now have a good
method for page performance analysis as seen by different browsers, with Page Speed coverage for
Firefox and Chrome through the extensions, and Internet Explorer via
webpagetest.org, which integrates
the Page Speed SDK.

We’d love to hear from you, as always. Please try
Page Speed for Chrome,
and give us feedback on our
mailing list
about additional functionality you’d like to see. Stay tuned for updates to Page Speed for Chrome
that take advantage of exciting new technologies such as
Native Client.
