Web Performance Test Automation using Sitespeed

We will learn automated performance testing using Sitespeedio to measure the performance of web pages

Analyze how your page is built and give feedback on how you can make it faster for the end–user.

Design simple JavaScript test cases to test web sites using real browsers, simulating real user connectivity and collect important metrics like the speed of web pages

Collect and keep data on how your pages are built so you can easily track changes.

Running in your continuous integration to find web performance regressions early

Monitoring your performance in production, alerting on regressions.
