BrowserMobs

BrowserMob is a company that provides tools and services for website performance testing. Their flagship product is BrowserMob Proxy, an open-source tool that allows developers and testers to capture and analyze HTTP/HTTPS traffic from web browsers. This traffic data can then be used to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize website loading times.

BrowserMob Proxy acts as an intermediary, sitting between the browser and the web server. As the browser makes requests and receives responses, BrowserMob Proxy intercepts and records this data. It can also be used to modify requests and responses, allowing for more advanced testing scenarios. The tool is often integrated into automated testing frameworks, enabling continuous performance monitoring as part of a development workflow.

In addition to the open-source proxy, BrowserMob offers a commercial cloud-based platform that provides scalability and advanced features for larger-scale performance testing. This platform allows users to run tests from various geographical locations and devices, offering a more comprehensive view of global website performance. BrowserMob's solutions are aimed at improving user experience by ensuring websites load quickly and efficiently.
