## What it is
An NPM package that wraps the WebPageTest API for Node.js, usable both as a module and a command-line tool. It lets developers run website performance tests, fetch results, HAR data, and tester/location info programmatically.

## Use cases
- run webpagetest performance tests from nodejs
- get page speed and HAR data for a url via cli
- monitor webpagetest test status and results in a script
- list webpagetest locations and testers
- cancel or restart webpagetest tests programmatically
- integrate webpagetest into ci performance checks

## When to choose
- you use Node.js and want programmatic access to the WebPageTest API
- you want a ready-made CLI for running and managing webpagetest tests
- you need to pull test results, HAR files, or utilization data into your own tooling

## When to avoid
- you need a browser-based performance testing UI rather than an API wrapper
- you use a different WebPageTest client in another language
- you want to self-host the WebPageTest agent itself rather than call its API
