The Contentsquare Speed Analysis Lab API is organized around REST. Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts form-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs. All API requests must be made over HTTPS.

## What is Contentsquare?

Contentsquare is a next-gen Analytics tool that helps you understand how and why your users are interacting with your app, mobile, and websites.

Speed Analysis is a web pages testing and monitoring capability which enables you to monitor your website, spot slowdowns, discover optimization opportunities, and benchmark against your competitors.

Note

This feature is part of [Experience Monitoring ↗](https://contentsquare.com/platform/experience-monitoring/), which is only available on Enterprise plans or as an add-on to Pro plans. Contact your Customer Success Manager or [sales ↗](https://contentsquare.com/request-a-demo/) to learn more.

## Analysis

Speed Analysis Lab allows you to analyze the performance on demand and generate reports for any web page.

## Monitorings

Leverage the Speed Analysis Lab’s synthetic monitoring to keep a close eye on your main pages:

* Be notified when a page experiences slowness or downtime
* Analyze performance trends over time and detect regression
* Benchmark your pages against your competitors
* Monitor lower environments to fix performance issues before reaching production

## Scenarios

Create scenarios to closely monitor your main funnels and user journeys. With scenarios, you can:

* Be alerted when a funnel breaks or slows down
* Analyze performance trends over time and detect regression
* Leverage scenarios on lower environments to fix performance issues before reaching production

## Events

Events in Speed Analysis Lab are user-defined markers that allow you to track and document significant events (for example website updates, releases, failures). These events are then shown on your performance graphs, helping you correlate changes in website performance with specific actions or incidents.
