Browse the IndieTools interest categories and the original website types. Each collection links to public websites and their recorded mobile lab performance.

Scores are recorded Google PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse lab measurements, not real-user Core Web Vitals certification. Compare the measured URL, device and test date. Historical scores do not establish current speed. Missing measurements are not zero. Total blocking time is not field interaction to next paint. Paid plans and sponsorship do not increase measured scores or organic leaderboard rank.

## IndieTools categories

### [AI](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/ai)

AI assistants, generation tools and machine-learning products with a public website.

Compare how quickly the public landing page explains the product before an interactive model or workspace loads.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/ai

### [Analytics](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/analytics)

Website analytics, audience measurement and reporting products.

Look at loading and blocking time on the public product page; a public test does not measure an authenticated dashboard.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/analytics

### [CMS](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/cms)

Content management systems, publishing platforms and headless CMS products.

Compare the public site rather than assuming its score describes every website built with the CMS.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/cms

### [Design](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/design)

Design tools, creative resources and products for visual work.

Image-heavy showcases make largest contentful paint and layout stability useful alongside the overall score.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/design

### [Developer tools](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/developer-tools)

Developer services, APIs, debugging tools and software development utilities.

Check the recorded mobile result and its date when comparing documentation-rich product pages.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/developer-tools

### [Finance](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/finance)

Budgeting, invoicing, accounting and financial management product websites.

These results describe website loading performance, not a financial product's suitability, reliability or security.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/finance

### [Fitness](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/fitness)

Fitness, workout, training and activity product websites.

Compare mobile loading performance on public pages; scores do not evaluate training advice or health outcomes.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/fitness

### [Games](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/games)

Browser games, gaming products and game-related websites.

A landing-page score describes page loading and does not benchmark frame rate or gameplay performance.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/games

### [Lifestyle](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/lifestyle)

Lifestyle products for everyday interests, activities and experiences.

Read the individual report to see which URL was tested and when its performance was recorded.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/lifestyle

### [Marketing](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/marketing)

Marketing platforms, growth tools, email products and campaign services.

Compare the effect of media, third-party scripts and interactive content through the published loading metrics.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/marketing

### [Personal life](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/personal-life)

Products for personal organization, daily routines and individual projects.

A responsive public page can help visitors understand the product; the report measures that page, not private account screens.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/personal-life

### [Productivity](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/productivity)

Task management, note-taking, scheduling and workflow product websites.

Use the individual metrics to compare public pages without treating the score as a measure of the product's productivity benefits.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/productivity

### [Programming](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/programming)

Programming resources, coding products and language-focused websites.

Public examples and embedded editors can affect loading; inspect blocking time as well as the overall score.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/programming

### [SEO](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/seo)

Search optimization tools, site auditing products and search research platforms.

A PageSpeed performance score is one lab measurement; it is not a search ranking or a complete SEO audit.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/seo

### [Social media](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/social-media)

Social publishing, scheduling, community and audience management products.

Embedded feeds and third-party media can affect page loading, so compare the measured URL and test date.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/social-media

## Website types

### [SaaS](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/saas)

Software-as-a-service products and hosted web applications.

The recorded score measures the submitted public URL, not every part of the application.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/saas

Agency, studio and professional service websites.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/agency

### [E-commerce](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/ecommerce)

Online stores, shopping platforms and commerce websites.

Public homepage measurements do not represent every product page or checkout step.

Public leaderboard: https://thefastestweb.site/fastest/ecommerce

### [Blogs](https://thefastestweb.site/markdown/fastest/blog)

Blogs, editorial publications and content-led websites.

Images, fonts and embeds can affect article loading; follow each report to inspect its measured URL.
