Upcoming Pricing Changes

Increased server and operational costs involved in running the GTmetrix service have required us to adjust prices on all our PRO plans.

• 25 Weekly On-Demand Tests

Changes to Guest/Basic usage

In addition to the pricing and plan changes above, we’re also making some significant changes to Guest usage and Basic/Free plan functionality.

Bot and spam abuse on GTmetrix has surged and we’ve been fighting it for what feels like an eternity.

Such activity takes up developer time and server resources that could otherwise be dedicated to real users; combined with increases in operational costs, it has really impacted our bottom line.

Thus, on December 1, 2023, we’ll be implementing the following measures:
 

• Users must log in with a validated e-mail to generate reports.
• Further limits placed on Basic accounts.

 
This results in a major change to the GTmetrix service by essentially doing away with Guest testing as a non logged-in user, but it is unfortunately necessary to combat undesirable usage of GTmetrix.

We understand these limitations may be restricting for some users, but they are a necessary part of our efforts to ensure we can maintain the quality and reliability of our platform.

Summary

In summary, the above major changes to GTmetrix are coming on December 1, 2023.

While we understand these changes may affect some users, they are essential to maintain our platform’s quality and reliability.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team.

We appreciate your support over the years and hope you continue to trust us with your performance journey.
