Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as SpeedCurve.

  • DebugBear

    A web performance testing and monitoring service with a free Core Web Vitals speed test.

    FreemiumProprietaryWeb

    DebugBear combines lab tests with real-user Core Web Vitals and offers a free speed test, with continuous monitoring on paid plans.

  • Pingdom

    A hosted website monitoring service with uptime, page speed, transaction checks and real user monitoring.

    PaidProprietaryWeb

    Pingdom adds uptime and transaction checks alongside real user monitoring and page speed monitoring, as part of the SolarWinds product line with no free plan.

  • GTmetrix

    An online page speed tester with waterfall charts, Core Web Vitals, scheduled monitoring and alerts.

    FreemiumProprietaryWeb

    GTmetrix offers freemium speed reports with scheduled monitoring and alerts from 25 regions, but focuses on synthetic tests without real user monitoring.

  • sitespeed.io

    An open-source tool for measuring, analysing and monitoring the performance of web pages.

    sitespeed.io is free and open source, running on your own infrastructure with data kept locally, but long-term dashboards need your own Graphite or InfluxDB and Grafana.

  • Treo

    A web dashboard for tracking Core Web Vitals across sites using Chrome UX Report and Lighthouse data.

    FreemiumProprietaryWeb

    Treo tracks Core Web Vitals from Chrome UX Report and Lighthouse data without installing a script, so field data is limited to what CrUX covers.

  • WebPageTest

    An online website performance tester with waterfall charts, filmstrips, multiple locations and throttled connections.

    FreemiumProprietaryWeb

    WebPageTest provides freemium on-demand tests with waterfalls, filmstrips and throttling from multiple locations, rather than continuous real user monitoring.

Also worth comparing

These listings name SpeedCurve as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.

  • CrUX Vis

    Google web tool that charts Chrome UX Report field data and Core Web Vitals for a page or site.

    FreeProprietaryWeb

    SpeedCurve is a paid hosted service pairing synthetic tests with its own real user monitoring, rather than relying on Chrome UX Report data.
