Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 41 of the 83 other technical SEO tools we grade
SpeedVitals is a web-based page speed testing service. It runs lab tests on up to 30 devices from up to 35 locations, measures time to first byte from 40+ locations, and on paid plans monitors chosen URLs on a schedule. Every plan also includes real-user monitoring with traffic analytics, priced by page views and websites.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SpeedVitals, taken from its own pages and our grades.
A one-off test is just a URL, but monitoring slots, alerts and the RUM script all need setting up.

The report card
Best for speed and TTFB tests from many locations
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who SpeedVitals is for
- Fits if you need to see how fast a page loads from many countries in one run
- Works for site owners and hosts chasing a slow time to first byte
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a free trial of the paid plans, as there isn't one, only an upgrade on request
- Watch out: refunds come only within 3 days of buying and only if under 20% of the plan's credits were used
- Tight if you test in bursts, since credits are counted per week, 15 a week on the free plan
- Pricey if you need the API or webhook alerts, which start at Pro, $83 a month billed yearly
- Too light for sites with real traffic on Free or Starter, as RUM stops at 5,000 page views a month
Good to know
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

- 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.

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.
What you could not
- Speed tests run from real browsers on a schedule.
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- It plugs into other products, Slack among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. SpeedVitals’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
