Better request initiator data, new test locations, and a chrome extension that surfaces observed metrics on PageSpeed Insights.
Better request initiator data
We've added a new Request Chain tab to the request details in the waterfall. This tab shows the dependencies of the request as well as any requests initiated by the resource.
You can also click Show request initiator chain to show the arrows in the unfiltered waterfall.
Performance recommendations
The Overview tab now shows a list of recommendations on how to speed up your website.
New test regions
We've added new test regions in Poland, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Taiwan.
Site speed chrome extension
We launched a new extension that shows site speed metrics for the page you're on and lets you easily navigate to other site speed tools. It also surfaces the observed metrics on PageSpeed Insights.
Other tweaks
- Navigating from the project overview to the pages now uses the same date range for chart data
- Resource hints with validation errors now show up in the waterfall
