GTmetrix alternative that checks the whole website
Updated
GTmetrix is a respected speed test, and speed is its main job. If you want the rest of your site checked too, use Sitecomb.
Checking a whole website usually takes several tools. Sitecomb checks six areas at once, and its full report gives a plain fix for each problem.
Side by side
| What gets checked | GTmetrix | Sitecomb |
|---|---|---|
| Speed and load order | Yes, in depth (runs Lighthouse) | Yes, as part of Page health |
| Phones | Testing on a mobile device needs a paid plan | Yes, in the free score |
| Security certificates, security settings, email anti-spoofing | Not listed on its pricing or FAQ pages | Yes, in Security |
| Privacy notice and cookie notice | Not listed on its pages | Yes, in Privacy and legal |
| Tap-to-call number, booking, hours, address | Not listed on its pages | Yes, in Contact details |
| AI search crawler rules, structured data | Not listed on its pages | Yes, in Found online |
| Price | Free account; paid plans from $4.99 a month | Free score out of 100; full report $4.99 (USD; your local price is shown at checkout) once |
What GTmetrix does well
- A clear speed picture. It runs Lighthouse and shows everything your page loads, in order, and which part is slow.
- Monitoring. Free accounts can monitor one page; paid plans monitor more, more often.
Where Sitecomb is different
- Speed is one of six areas. Sitecomb checks speed alongside security, privacy, phones, contact details and found online.
- Written for owners. No developer charts to read. Each problem says what it means and how to fix it.
- One price, no plan. The score is free; the full report is $4.99, paid once.
