What SpeedCurve is
SpeedCurve is a website performance service available through web and API access. It combines synthetic monitoring with real user monitoring (RUM). Synthetic tests gather lab results under controlled device and network settings, using multiple browsers and locations, Lighthouse audits, and test comparisons. RUM collects field data from actual site experiences, including Core Web Vitals, custom metrics, and JavaScript errors. Teams can define performance budgets and receive email or webhook alerts when thresholds are exceeded. The REST API can create, run, and retrieve test results, with integrations described for Jenkins, Travis, and CircleCI. GitHub tests pull-request deployments and posts reports as comments, but only one SpeedCurve team can link to a GitHub account or organization at once. Starter costs $90 a month; Growth costs $576 a month; Enterprise pricing is custom.
