SpeedCurve
What SpeedCurve is
SpeedCurve measures website performance through synthetic monitoring and real user monitoring (RUM). Synthetic tests gather lab data under controlled device and network settings, using multiple browsers and locations, Lighthouse audits, and test comparisons. RUM records field data from actual site experiences, including Core Web Vitals, custom metrics, and JavaScript errors. Teams can set performance budgets and receive email or webhook alerts when thresholds are crossed. The REST API can create, run, and retrieve test results, and listed CI/CD integrations include Jenkins, Travis, and CircleCI. GitHub integration tests pull request deployments and posts performance reports as comments, although only one SpeedCurve team can link to a GitHub account or organization at a time. Starter costs $90/month; Growth costs $576/month and includes 13 months of retention, priority support, and synthetic priority testing. Enterprise pricing is custom. SpeedCurve is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, and its website says it is now part of Embrace.
