Our verdict on SpeedVitals

SpeedVitals brings synthetic website speed and TTFB testing together with real-user monitoring for Core Web Vitals. It is aimed at website owners, developers, and performance professionals, with a free plan that makes it a practical fit for small teams seeking both lab-style checks and visitor data. The product is available through the web, API, and a browser extension; its listed deployment options are cloud and browser extension.

Its monitoring combines scheduled and batch tests across locations and devices with reports that include waterfall charts, resource diagnostics, layout-shift visualization, and optimization suggestions. Real-user monitoring adds page views, session data, and performance breakdowns, giving teams a way to compare test results with visitor experience. The free plan includes synthetic tests, RUM, multi-location and device coverage, waterfalls, session analytics, alerts, webhooks, and API access. For a workflow built around email and Slack, those alert channels are listed alongside webhook integration. The Starter plan lists 3 months of performance retention and 10 website speed test locations; the other paid plans are Starter, Growth, Pro, and Ultimate, with larger plans positioned for agencies, teams, and high-traffic sites.

SpeedVitals is a stronger fit for teams that want a broad mix of testing and real-user visibility than for buyers seeking a narrowly focused synthetic checker. GDPR compliance is listed, and support is available by email. One limitation for planning is that the RUM Alerts & Weekly Digest feature is marked coming soon, so teams should not rely on that capability today. Choose SpeedVitals if free RUM plus synthetic coverage, diagnostics, and multiple alert routes match your monitoring needs; consider alternatives if that upcoming RUM alert feature is essential or if the Starter retention period does not suit your reporting horizon.
