Faster test agents and more regions
We’re kicking off 2018 with a bang and a donut. We’ve been busy preparing all-new faster test agents and they’re now available for you to switch to – at no extra cost!
Go to your Settings to switch to faster test agents.
Faster agents
All our agents now run on much faster AWS C4.Large instances, which better approximate current desktop browsers. We’ve also switched to the latest WebPageTest agent running on Linux.
How much faster? 20-30%
When you switch to the new agents, some of your metrics will get 20-30% faster, so pick a time to switch that suits your team. In between projects or the start of the month are good times to set a new baseline.
More emulated devices and improved flexibility
SpeedCurve users may have noticed some changes recently. At the beginning of March we released a major redesign of our Settings UI that gives users more flexibility to get the exact test results they want. The two biggest changes were to the way we emulate devices and to allow different testing configurations for different sites.
