Worst Pages Leaderboard
The Worst Pages Leaderboard gives you a sortable, side-by-side comparison of every tracked URL’s PageSpeed performance score alongside its four most important lab and field metrics — LCP, CLS, INP and TBT — for both mobile and desktop. It is the fastest way to answer “which are my worst-performing pages and exactly which metrics are failing?” without having to open each URL individually in PageSpeed Insights.
Columns explained
- URL — the tracked page, linked to the live URL.
- Score (mobile / desktop) — Google’s 0–100 performance score. 90+ = good, 50–89 = needs improvement, <50 = poor. Mobile is the score Google ranks on.
- LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) — how long until the main content element is rendered. Target: <2.5 s.
- CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) — measure of visual stability during load. Target: <0.1.
- INP (Interaction to Next Paint) — responsiveness to user input. Target: <200 ms.
- TBT (Total Blocking Time) — proxy for INP in lab conditions. Target: <200 ms. High TBT usually traces to excessive JavaScript.
How to read it
- Click the Score column header (ascending) to put the worst pages at the top.
- Click any metric column to sort by that specific signal. A page with a great score but terrible LCP suggests the score is being carried by other metrics — dig into the cause.
- Compare mobile and desktop columns side-by-side. A large gap (mobile much worse) means the responsive variant has a different performance profile from the desktop version. See Mobile Performance Drag for a dedicated view of this gap.
- Cells are colour-coded: green = good, amber = needs improvement, red = poor — matching Google’s thresholds for each metric.
Metric thresholds reference
| Metric | Good | Needs improvement | Poor |
|---|---|---|---|
| LCP | <2.5 s | 2.5–4 s | >4 s |
| CLS | <0.1 | 0.1–0.25 | >0.25 |
| INP | <200 ms | 200–500 ms | >500 ms |
| TBT | <200 ms | 200–600 ms | >600 ms |
| Score | 90–100 | 50–89 | 0–49 |
What to do with it
- Sort by mobile score ascending and pick the top 5 worst pages. These are your immediate sprint candidates.
- For each failing page, look at which metric is worst:
- LCP → image optimisation, render-blocking resources, server response time.
- CLS → reserve space for images/ads, avoid dynamic content insertion above the fold.
- INP / TBT → reduce JavaScript execution time, remove heavy third-party scripts.
- Open the URL on pagespeed.web.dev for the full per-resource Lighthouse audit.
- After fixes, check PSI History to confirm scores improve and the page leaves the leaderboard over the following runs.
