Global Speed Checker

About

The Global Speed Checker skill empowers developers to validate their application's global reach by executing real-time performance checks from dozens of worldwide locations. By integrating directly with the OpenStatus API, it provides a detailed breakdown of critical timing phases—including DNS lookup, TLS handshake, and Time to First Byte (TTFB)—allowing users to identify regional bottlenecks and optimize their cloud infrastructure for a global audience. The skill generates easy-to-read markdown tables and provides actionable insights based on performance benchmarks.

Key Features

• Supports custom HTTP methods, headers, and request bodies for API testing.
• Generates automated summaries including fastest/slowest regions and average latency.
• Tests endpoint performance from 28 global regions including US, Europe, and Asia.
• 1 GitHub stars
• Offers detailed performance insights and structured JSON exports for analysis.
• Provides granular timing phases for DNS, Connection, TLS, TTFB, and Transfer.

Use Cases

• Validating CDN propagation and endpoint availability after a new deployment.
• Benchmarking API latency across different continents to identify geographic bottlenecks.
• Debugging regional connection issues or slow DNS resolution for specific markets.
