How to get a PageSpeed Insights API key

Run Core Web Vitals measurements without hitting the shared quota.

PageSpeed Insights is Google's page-speed service. It works without a key, but the shared quota fills fast. A free key allows 25,000 measurements a day.

Steps

  1. Get a key

    On Google's page click Get a Key, pick a Google Cloud project (create one if needed) and Next. Copy the key.

  2. Add the key as a Worker Secret

    There is no key field in the dashboard: the key is added to the panel's Cloudflare Worker as a Secret named PAGESPEED_API_KEY (steps in the Cloudflare Worker Secret guide). The panel admin does this; the status shows in the PageSpeed Insights row under Account › Settings and usage › Connections.
