The Web Speed Analysis API is a tool designed to comprehensively analyze the performance and loading efficiency of any website. Its main objective is to offer a complete technical overview that covers both server behavior and end-user experience, providing accurate metrics and automated optimization recommendations.
The API works by running real-time tests on the specified URL, collecting key data such as HTTP response status, Time to First Byte (TTFB), total server load time, content size, number of requests made, and compression or cache availability. At the same time, it measures user experience parameters such as Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and total full load time, generating an overall performance score that summarizes the site's efficiency.
One of the most notable features of this API is its ability to automatically detect performance issues and offer specific solutions. Each identified issue, such as a high LCP or FID, is accompanied by a list of technical recommendations—for example, image optimization, JavaScript deferral, or CDN cache activation.
Analyzes website performance by measuring server-client metrics and generating JSON reports with detected issues and optimization suggestions.

Typical use cases include website performance optimization, troubleshooting loading issues, enhancing user experience, and generating reports for web developers or stakeholders to improve site efficiency.
Data accuracy is maintained through real-time testing of the specified URL, ensuring that metrics reflect current server-client interactions. The API employs standard web performance measurement techniques to ensure reliable results.
Users can expect patterns such as high TTFB indicating server delays, high LCP suggesting slow content loading, and specific optimization suggestions based on identified issues, allowing for targeted improvements.
The API analyzes server metrics such as Time to First Byte (TTFB), server load time, content size, request count, and compression status. It also evaluates client metrics including Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), First Input Delay (FID), full load time, and provides an overall performance score.
The performance score, ranging from 0 to 100, summarizes the website's efficiency. A higher score indicates better performance, while a lower score suggests potential issues that may need addressing, such as slow loading times or poor user experience metrics.
The API offers tailored optimization suggestions based on identified issues. Examples include image optimization techniques, JavaScript deferral strategies, and enabling CDN caching to enhance loading efficiency and improve user experience.
The API is designed to analyze any publicly accessible URL, regardless of the website's technology stack. It provides relevant metrics and suggestions based on the specific performance characteristics of the analyzed site.
Detected issues highlight specific performance bottlenecks, such as high LCP or FID values. Addressing these issues is crucial for improving user experience and overall site performance, as they directly impact how quickly users can interact with the content.
Users can implement the optimization suggestions provided in the API response to address specific performance issues. For instance, if the API suggests enabling compression, users can configure their server settings accordingly to reduce content size and improve load times.
Real-time testing ensures that the metrics reflect the current performance of the specified URL. This approach captures live server-client interactions, providing accurate and actionable insights for performance optimization.
Yes, the API can be integrated into continuous monitoring systems. By regularly analyzing a website's performance, users can track improvements over time and quickly identify new issues as they arise, ensuring optimal user experience.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world's most reliable payment companies.

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the 'X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining' field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1,000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit' response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1,000 requests per month, this header will display 1,000.
The 'X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset' header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3,600, it means 3,600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
To give you the opportunity to experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost. This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.
After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it's important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.
When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.
Payout Orders are processed between the 20th and the 30th of each month. If you submit your request before the 20th, your payment will be processed within this timeframe.
