## Ways to pay less

- **Two months free with yearly billing** (Annual discount): SpeedVitals' pricing page offers 2 months free on yearly plans: Starter is $16 a month billed yearly against $19 billed monthly. Source: https://speedvitals.com/pricing

## Key features

- **Website speed test:** Lab tests that report LCP, TBT, CLS, TTFB, FCP and Speed Index, with waterfall, unused resources and domain map charts. Free accounts get 10 devices and 10 locations.
- **Global TTFB test:** Measures time to first byte from up to 40+ locations in one run, with cache status and CDN detection.
- **Batch and multi-location tests:** Run up to 50 tests in one batch, or test one URL from many locations at once; the batch size goes from 10 to 50 by plan.
- **Scheduled monitoring and alerts:** Monitoring slots re-test a URL daily on Starter down to every 3 hours on Ultimate, with alerts by email, Slack or webhook and a weekly digest.
- **Real-user monitoring:** A script measures real visits, with 1 to 5 years of analytics history by plan; extra page views are an add-on on Pro and Ultimate.
- **Core Web Vitals checker:** Shows 12 months of real-world performance history for your site or a competitor's, alongside lab results.

## Good for

- Checking how fast a page loads from many countries in one go
- Hosting providers and site owners chasing a slow time to first byte
- Small sites that want cheap scheduled speed checks with alerts

## Worth knowing

- There is no free trial; the FAQ says the team can upgrade an account for a while on request.
- Refunds are given only within 3 days of buying and only if under 20% of the plan's credits were used.
- Test credits are counted per week, and the API and webhook alerts start at the Pro plan.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. SpeedVitals runs page speed tests on up to 30 devices from up to 35 locations, checks time to first byte from 40+ places and includes real-user monitoring on every plan. But there's no free trial, refunds only cover 3 days and under 20% of credits used, test credits reset weekly, and the API waits for Pro at $83 a month billed yearly.

- **Value for money: C.** Starter is $16 a month billed yearly ($19 monthly), a little above this category's cheapest quarter of $13. That buys 300 speed and 300 TTFB tests a week and 3 daily monitoring slots. Webhook alerts and the API need Pro at $83.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** The free plan has 15 speed and 15 TTFB tests a week from 10 locations, 1 daily monitoring slot and RUM for 1 site up to 5,000 page views, the same RUM allowance as Starter. One person with one small site could stay on it.
- **Features: C.** Lab tests with waterfalls, global TTFB checks, batch tests, scheduled monitoring with alerts, RUM and a Core Web Vitals history checker. It covers speed testing fully, a smaller job than technical SEO, and test credits are counted per week.
- **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. A one-off test is just a URL, but monitoring slots, alerts and the RUM script all need setting up.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with email alerts from Starter, Slack from Growth, and webhook alerts and an API from Pro. Slack is the only named integration.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** Nothing SpeedVitals does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company. It costs $192 a year.

- You could not: Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- You could not: A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Slack among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
