At the heart of everything we do is the mission to deliver high-quality web experiences for users. Through WebPageTest, we strive to provide high-performance products and resources to a growing global community of developers, third-party platforms, technical consultants, and others. Originally developed by Patrick Meenan during his time at AOL for internal use, WebPageTest was open-sourced under the BSD license in 2008. The online version at www.WebPageTest.org operates for the benefit of the performance community. In September 2020, WebPageTest was acquired by Catchpoint, a digital experience monitoring platform offering synthetic monitoring, real-user measurement, network monitoring, and endpoint monitoring products.
This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter, with plans to expand WebPageTest's capabilities and geographic testing footprint on WebPageTest.org by leveraging Catchpoint’s top-tier infrastructure, increasing capacity, and enhancing the consistency and quality of analytics. You can read more about Catchpoint’s acquisition of WebPageTest here. The WebPageTest code is freely available under the Polyform Shield license, a source-available license. You’re free to use the WebPageTest code however you like—whether for internal use or to create non-competing commercial products—as long as you don’t develop offerings that compete with Catchpoint’s products or services. In fact, we encourage using the WebPageTest code to build your own value-added applications. Read more here.
