For years, WebPageTest has been the gold standard in web performance testing, trusted by developers, SEOs, and performance engineers worldwide to make the web faster and better.
Now, we’re taking that mission even further.
What’s changing?
On October 23, all WebPageTest users will start using WebPageTest fully integrated within the Catchpoint Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) platform, bringing a modern interface, familiar workflows, and powerful capabilities that provide a comprehensive view of digital performance in one place.
This is everything you love about WebPageTest — deep diagnostics, filmstrips, precision metrics, opportunities, and no-code experiments — now with enterprise-grade power, scalability, and intelligence.
Why the upgrade
Today’s web is more complex than ever, making world class digital experiences harder to deliver. Here’s why this evolution matters:
- Page speed alone is no longer enough: Today, performance means understanding every factor that impacts your users, from browser rendering to CDN routing, DNS resolution, SSL, third party components, cloud services, APIs, and network reliability.
- End-to-end visibility is now critical: With this upgrade, WebPageTest now combines deep front-end visibility with comprehensive Internet performance insight, enabling teams to go beyond page-level metrics and master the full user experience.
Key dates:
- Available now: The new WebPageTest is already live for all Pro users in the Catchpoint Portal.
- October 15: The upgrade will also become available to Starter Plan users, opening up access to everyone ahead of the full migration.
- October 23: Launch day. All users will officially transition to the new WebPageTest within the Catchpoint Portal.
What’s new in the upgraded WebPageTest?
The new WebPageTest builds on everything that made the tool great, now with enhanced features that make testing, analysis, and collaboration easier and more powerful than ever:
- Scheduled Tests – Automate performance checks and track results over time.
- Smartboard – Visualize, compare, and analyze your test results in one place, with all crucial performance metrics such as Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS), page speed index, time to first byte (TTFB), and more.
- Customizable Alerts – Get real-time notifications when performance metrics change.
- Multi-User Access – Collaborate seamlessly with your team.
- All Your History – Your existing test data remains fully accessible.
And that’s just the beginning. For teams who need the most advanced capabilities and scale, we offer WebPageTest Expert — a suite of enterprise-level features that go beyond the core upgrade and unlock even deeper insight and control.
