Add your own URLs to test in a _data/sites/*.js configuration file. Look at the existing samples (Make sure you use skip: false). You can delete the existing ones after you’ve made your own
- Requires Node 12+
- Each file in
_data/sites/*.jsis a category and contains a list of sites for comparison.
After cloning you’ll probably want to delete the initial _data/sites/*.js files and create your own file with a list of your own site URLs!
npm install
npm run test-pages
npm run start
Can run directly on Netlify (including your tests) and will save the results to a Netlify build cache (via Netlify Build Plugins, see plugins/keep-data-cache/).
After cloning you’ll probably want to delete the initial _data/sites/*.js files and create your own file with a list of your own site URLs!
GSBPerf will also save your data to /results.zip so that you can download later. Though this has proved to be unnecessary so far, it does serve as a fallback backup mechanism in case the Netlify cache is lost. Just look up your previous build URL and download the data to restore.
Run every day or week: You can set GSBPerf to run at a specified interval using a Netlify Build Hook, read more on the Eleventy docs: Quick Tip #008—Trigger a Netlify Build Every Day with IFTTT.
- If you change a URL to remove a redirect (to remove or add a
www., moved domains, etc), you probably want to delete the old URL’s data otherwise you’ll have two entries in the results list. - When running on Netlify, a single category has a max limit on the number of sites it can test, upper bound on how many tests it can complete in the 15 minute Netlify build limit.
- The same URL cannot be listed in two different categories (yet).
