Boilerplate for running WebPageTest from the command line, using the WebPageTest API Wrapper for NodeJS
Raw
webpagetest.md

npm install webpagetest -g

webpagetest test wpt-script.txt -k $WPT_API_KEY -l "Dulles_MotoG" -y "3G" -r "5" -vpt

This ^^^ does 5 runs of the test on a Motorola Moto G on a 3G connection. If you're feeling brave, try -y "3GSlow". If you're feeling really brave, try -y Edge.

  • -k for key
  • -l for location
  • -y for connection
  • -r for runs
  • -v for video
  • -p for private (keep the test hidden from the test log)
  • -t for sensitive (discard script and http headers in the result, for when you include logins and such in the script)
