System Investigator

Don’t just detect what’s slow. Find out why.

WhySlow continuously investigates website performance, connects regressions to deployments and code changes, and shows you the evidence behind what made your website slower.

WhySlow doesn’t just flag a regression — it reconstructs the chain of events that caused it.

  • 01Example investigation — a real regression, start to finish.
  • 02Trace routes — follow the request path that went slow.
  • 03Code attribution — the exact change that introduced it.
  • 04Deployment correlation — tied to the deploy and the author.

“WhySlow caught a regression before our users did. The trace route pointed straight to the culprit asset.”
Sarah ChenPlatform Lead @ Acme
“We recovered 400ms of LCP in a week because WhySlow showed us exactly which deploy broke it.”
Marcus WebbEngineering @ Vertex
“Finally a tool that explains the why, not just the what. Our page speed has never been more stable.”
Priya NairTech Lead @ Lumen
