+The `speedfinder` function returns a dataframe with a single observation and columns of numeric data as its response. It accepts three arguments:
 
 * _url_: The url argument refers to the URL of the document on which the PageSpeed Insights API should be run and the corresponding summary metrics returned.    
 * _strategy_: This argument should have one of two potential text string inputs: "`desktop`" or "`mobile`" to denote the device context that the PageSpeed Insights API should use in its evaluation.   
 * _key_: This is the key that is required to use the API. [Visit Google's Developer Console](https://developers.google.com/console/help/using-keys) to obtain your free key.
