How to create an API Key?

The Google Pagespeed Insights tool analyzes the loading speed and performance of your website, offering recommendations to enhance site efficiency. It helps to improve response times, reduce download sizes, minimize resource requests, and ultimately boost your website's performance. This feature is essential for both user experience and SEO.

To integrate this tool with WP Adminify, you’ll need to create a Google Pagespeed Insights API key. Here's how you can generate and configure the API key to get started.

Step-by-Step Guide to Create a Google PageSpeed Insights API Key:

2. Access the Google Pagespeed Insights Documentation:

• Visit the official Google Pagespeed Insights API documentation by following this link. This page provides detailed instructions on how to use the API.
