No option for location of test
Even though Google's Pagespeed Insights does quite an amazing job as a speed profiler, currently it doesn't provide you with the option of analyzing your website from a specific location.

Limited actionable data
Provides unhelpful instructions like "eliminate blocking JS", well duh, but what JS is blocking? Without a waterfall/HAR like the other's GPS is seriously lacking in usefulness.

Only for testing pings
Does not provide much of a detailed report, of how your website performed. But again, MaxCDN Tools, as the site's slogan says - is more of a Ping testing and comparison service than a full fledged website speed profiler.
