Guild Wars 2

The agility trainer VI on the skirmishing trait line says it improves pet speed by 30%. However, when you command a pet to attack an enemy, the pet runs normal.

Nonetheless, the pet moves super fast when your pet is following you by your side.

Question: is the 30% pet speed only an esthetic speed? or is it meant to be a combat speed?

It’s only meant to be active during combat. If you command the pet to attack to start a battle, the speed buff won’t actually kick in until it lands it’s first attack. All pet ‘training’ traits behave this way.

Tman.6349:

A reference would be nice you know!
