Configuration Instructions

Changes from WebPagetest 2.12:

First, a big thank you to the community, there were several patches from external contributors in this release.

Web Server

  • Integration with Appurify for mobile testing as a service (including traffic shaping, native browsers, full timeline capture and high-framerate video).
  • Integration with TSViewDB for time-series data storage and reporting.
  • Added a multi-waterfall view to the filmstrip comparisons to present overlaid waterfalls.
  • Added a main-thread breakdown view for Chrome timelines to show where the browser spent it's time.
  • Added an "Effective Bps" metric that calculates the bandwidth used from the first byte to the end of the load to show how efficiently a site is filling the pipe.
  • Fixed the EC2 auto-scaling logic to account for pending spot instance requests.
  • Added support for overriding the default connectivity on a per-location basis.
  • Added a link to the request details popup to open the response body in a new window (if bodies were captured).
  • Significantly improved the error messaging when tests fail (will now indicate why it failed to run the test).

Test Agent

wptdriver:

  • Significant fixes to IE testing (some of those "how did it ever work" kind of fixes).
  • Updates to support newer Chrome and Firefox releases.
  • Added support for arbitrary command-line options for Chrome.
  • Improvements to the emulated mobile testing.

URLBlast (legacy IE testing):

  • Removed support for automatically rebooting.
  • Significantly simplified the agent code and stripped out all of the legacy non-WebPagetest code.
  • Fixes to make agent more stable (keep running without intervention).

Improvements common to both agents:

  • Added reporting of msFirstPaint from window.performance (IE only).
  • Added a CPU Time metric to report how much CPU-busy time was consumed while loading the page.
  • Added reporting of agent CPU utilization (for tracking down under-provisioned agents).
  • Improved IE's cache clearing to be more reliable.
