Scale website performance testing and analysis with faster access to WebPageTest test results by accessing our developer-first API from within your existing workflows.
Test every possible factor impacting your webpage speeds using fine-grain controls across browser versions, geographic locations including mainland China, device types, cache states, and more.
See how your page performs on important metrics such as Core Web Vitals, First Byte, and Document Complete, while also gathering real user data from sources like CruX to build insights that go beyond the basics to reveal all contributing factors, from 3rd-party services to custom scripts.
See exactly how a page’s performance metrics get rendered on-screen by toggling between film strips and video capture for both single and side-by-side comparison test results.
A test run on WebPageTest is defined as a single run within a test set up to measure webpage performance on a specific browser and location. For example, if you run a 5-run test with Repeat View, then that counts as 10 test runs.
You can access all the performance metrics that you would when you run a manual test on WebPageTest listed here. Including the film strip view as well as video capture. WebPageTest API also gives you additional metrics you get in JSON/XML.
With WebPageTest API, you can test across 30 locations worldwide, including mainland China.
WebPageTest API is always up-to-date on the current version of every browser and you can test on Chrome (stable, beta, canary), Firefox (stable, beta, ESR), Microsoft Edge (dev) and Brave.
WebPageTest API also supports mobile emulation testing. You can test mobile content by emulating an Android browser by passing “mobile=1” as an API option.
There is a monthly limit on the total tests you can run with the WebPageTest API, based on the subscription plan you choose. There is currently no daily limit on top of that monthly limit.
We currently support the following:
- WebPageTest API wrapper: NPM package that wraps WebPageTest API for NodeJS as a module and a command-line tool
- GitHub Actions: The GitHub Action lets you automatically run tests against WebPageTest on code changes, set and enforce performance budgets, and have performance data automatically added to your pull requests to move the performance conversation directly into your existing development workflow.
There are also several existing integrations built by our community members that you can try out to build on top of the WebPageTest API. Check out some of them here.
