help Dead Man's Snitch FAQ
What does Dead Man's Snitch test?
Dead Man's Snitch is a website performance testing tool that simulates real browser behavior. It focuses on page-load problems and metrics such as First Contentful Paint and Largest Contentful Paint.
Why is it called Dead Man's Snitch?
The name refers to a dead-man's-switch idea: an alert is triggered when an expected check-in or result does not arrive. In this context, the service is used to report website test failures or performance problems.
Can Dead Man's Snitch show why a page is slow?
It is intended to help diagnose slow loading by examining browser-style page behavior and key loading milestones. Looking at the individual requests and resources is more useful than relying only on a single overall speed score.
How is Dead Man's Snitch different from a basic uptime monitor?
A basic uptime monitor may only check whether a URL responds, while Dead Man's Snitch examines how a page loads in a browser-like session. That difference matters when a page returns successfully but its visible content or scripts load slowly.
