There are a lot of different ways to use WebPageTest to get the most out of it for your performance testing and optimization efforts. Here we will go through live examples showing you how to get the most out of it:
- Basic performance testing and things to watch out for (locations, connectivity, first view, repeat view, consistency, the pitfalls of scores/grades)
- Testing and analyzing the visual experience
- Drilling into browser interactions (scripts, layout, etc)
- Testing multi-page flows and single-page apps
- Testing the performance and failure modes of content (particularly third-party content)
- Automated testing through the API and integration with CI tooling
- Deploying private instances
