Today we’re pleased to announce availability of the Page Diagnostics Tool for SharePoint. The Page Diagnostics Tool for SharePoint is a Chrome Browser Extension designed to help you identify potentially problematic Classic pages in SharePoint Online that may not be delivering optimal performance based on characteristics discovered about the page by the Page Diagnostics Tool.
The Page Diagnostics Tool works by comparing discovered characteristics of one or more Classic pages in SharePoint Online to known best practices and provides guidance to remediating those issues to ensure you are delivering the best possible experience across these pages. In addition to addressing performance of existing pages, the Page Diagnostics Tool can also be used to evaluate existing pages before they are published in your environment.
The Page Diagnostics Tool is currently available as a Chrome Browser Extension that can be downloaded directly or installed through the Chrome web store.
