User reviews

The PageSpeed Insights Firefox add-on primarily serves as a shortcut redirecting users to the official PageSpeed Insights website. Users appreciate its simplicity and quick access, but many criticize it for lacking any built-in page speed analysis features, rendering it somewhat redundant compared to using a bookmark or direct URL access.

Pros

Simple and straightforward to use
Effectively redirects users to the official PageSpeed Insights website
Saves time by providing quick access to PageSpeed Insights

Cons

Does not perform page speed analysis within the extension itself
Functions only as a redirect tool, which some find unnecessary
Provides no added functionality beyond being a shortcut to the website

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PageSpeed Insights requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

PageSpeed Insights has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
