## What it is
The official open-source codebase for WebPageTest, the website performance testing service, which can be self-hosted as a private instance. It includes a PHP web application, a REST API, and bulk-testing tools in PHP and Python.

## Use cases
- run website performance tests from my own server
- self-host a private webpagetest instance
- submit bulk page speed tests and aggregate results
- measure page load times across browsers and locations
- test website performance via a REST API
- audit site speed before and after deployments

## When to choose
- you need detailed, repeatable web page performance measurements
- you want to self-host performance testing behind a firewall
- you need scripted bulk or batch testing of many URLs

## When to avoid
- you need simple synthetic uptime monitoring rather than deep page performance analysis
- you want a fully permissive license without checking the Polyform Shield master branch terms
- you need load/stress testing of servers rather than single-page rendering metrics
