Using Google PageSpeed Insights API with php

In this post we learn how to analyze websites using google pagespeed insights api with PHP. First of all you need to acquire an API key: 

1) Go to the Google Developers Console. 

2) Select a project, or create a new one. 

3) In the sidebar on the left, expand APIs & auth. Next, click APIs. In the list of APIs, make sure the status is ON for the PageSpeed Insights API. 

4) In the sidebar on the left, select Credentials. 

5) This API supports two types of credentials. You need only Public API access: A request that does not provide an OAuth 2.0 token must send an API key. The key identifies your project and provides API access, quota, and reports.

To create an API key, click Create new Key and select the appropriate key type. Enter the additional information required for that key type and click Create.

Replace "API_KEY" with your ones in following php function.
