“The Decline of WebPageTest After the Catchpoint Era” by @innoweb
🔗 https://www.innoweb.com.au/blog/the-slow-demise-of-webpagetest
> The spirit of openness, clarity, and technical depth that defined it has been overshadowed by commercialisation and integration. I understand how this happens - it’s a familiar story for beloved tools after acquisition - but that doesn’t make it any less disappointing.

“WebPageTest.org is moving to the new UI within the Catchpoint Portal to provide users with enhanced features” in https://docs.catchpoint.com/wptpro/docs/webpagetest-faq
🤣🤦♂️🤡

Ok, the roadmap in #WebPageTest #Catchpoint docs says “Add scripting capabilities to scheduled tests for full control” in the “Later (Future Enhancements)” section…

As some features like authentication are now only available in scheduled tests, we can't have both authentification and scripts in the same tests… 😭
Basic authentication is in the “Next (Planned for Upcoming Releases)” section of the roadmap, while it was available before…

With #WebPageTest before #Catchpoint, we could set the URL for the test, and a script that had access to variables like %ORIGIN% or %URL%
Now, when we activate the script feature in an “Instant Test”, the URL field is disabled, so we can't have reusable scripts… 😭
Oh, and it looks like using scripts is not possible in scheduled tests, I couldn't find it. 😡

Almost every time I try to connect to #Catchpoint 's #WebPageTest with our paid account, I get a 400 error. 😭
I have to try 5 to 10 times before being able to access the tool and use it…
@grigs do you have similar issues?
