Page Speed Online API as part of the Google APIs

Google is very excited to introduce the Page Speed Online API as part of the Google APIs.

With this API, developers now have the ability to integrate performance analysis very simply in their command-line tools and web performance dashboards.

Google have provided a getting started guide that helps you to get up and running quickly, understand the API, and start monitoring the performance improvements that you make to your web pages.

If you website is built in WordPress, for further website improvement the WordPress plugin W3 Total Cache now uses the Page Speed Online API to provide Page Speed suggestions to WordPress users, right in the WordPress dashboard.

“The Page Speed tool itself provides extremely pointed and valuable insight into performance pitfalls.

Providing that tool via an API has allowed me to directly correlate that feedback with actionable solutions that W3 Total Cache provides.” said Frederick Townes, CTO Mashable and W3 Total Cache author.

Thanks for the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog for providing this update.
