Show HN: I automated WebPageTests so your site speed is always monitored
- machmetrics 7y agoI love WebPageTest, but its API is lacking, and its public test agents (and thus results) are inconsistent. I made a private WPT server, with reliable test agents (proper hardware), and wrapped it in a back-end that periodically runs tests according to your schedule, and a front-end that consolidates results so you can see trends easily. I realize you probably won't have much feedback until after a few days of monitoring, but any input regarding getting set up, marketing, your weekly summary email, etc would be immensely appreciated.
- bradknowles 7y agoSo, how does this site differentiate itself from others in the field, like GTmetrix.com, runscope.com, Pingdom.com, etc...? I realize that some of these other sites may have other features or focus, but they can also easily do automated programmatic web page speed tests.
- machmetrics 7y agoGreat question - we're in the same field, so competitors - but: >How Are You Different From Pingdom, GtMetrix, Or SpeedCurve? All are solid services, and you'd be in good hands if you ended up with any of them. There are a few things that separate us, though: MachMetrics gives you more testing options than Pingdom, better automation than GtMetrix, and more payment flexibility than SpeedCurve.
