New Monitoring Type: Page Speed Check

We’ve introduced our newest check type, the Page Speed Check. It’s a complete overhaul of the old Speed Test free tool, and is now available as a recurring check type.

It runs on a daily interval to provide in-depth reports, invaluable insights, and tailored recommendations for increasing the performance of any website. 

Built on the Google Lighthouse framework, the Page Speed reports can be shared and compared for key stakeholders and historical performance trends. 

To get started, go to Monitoring > Page Speed in the UI.

Please note: the Free Tool version, called the Page Speed Test, was also overhauled and remains available for manual tests from our home page. 

For more information, please see our articles Getting Started with the Page Speed Check and Reading a Page Speed Report.
