## Review summary

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
