description: >-
  Google publishes NO plans, tiers or pricing for the PageSpeed Insights API. There is no
  pricing page, no billing surface and no paid tier: access is granted by creating a free
  API key in the Google Cloud Console, and consumption is governed by a project quota
  rather than by a purchased plan. plan_count is 0 because that is the true measurement,
  not because the search failed.

  quota_management: >-
    Quota for pagespeedonline.googleapis.com is managed per Cloud project in the Console
    quotas page, which requires a signed-in Google account. Google does not publish the
    numeric default anywhere on the public PageSpeed documentation.

  note: >-
    This file replaces a 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that invented Free / Professional
    / Enterprise tiers with placeholder quotas (1,000 and 100,000 requests per month) and
    "TBD" prices. None of those tiers exist. See roadmap#35.
