The mistake: only testing your homepage

The mistake: only testing your homepage

It's tempting to run PageSpeed Insights on your homepage, see green, and call it done. But Core Web Vitals are measured per page type. Your homepage might be light while your blog posts, product pages, or category pages are heavy and red.

Think of it like tasting one cookie from a batch and assuming the whole tray is perfect.

How to fix it:
— List your main page templates: homepage, article, product, category, contact.
— Run PageSpeed Insights on one real URL from each template.
— Note which template scores worst and fix that one first — it likely repeats across hundreds of pages.

Try this: pick your single most-visited blog post or product page and test it today. That's where real users actually live.
