## Description

sitespeed.io is a web performance analysis tool and monitoring system designed to measure website speed and Core Web Vitals using real browsers. It functions as a performance regression suite and a browser performance monitor, enabling the enforcement of performance budgets to detect and block speed regressions.

The project is distinguished by its real device testing framework, which executes performance audits on physical Android and iOS hardware via USB connections. It includes a specialized tool for generating and comparing HTTP Archive files to diagnose network bottlenecks, alongside integration for executing Lighthouse audits to capture page quality and accessibility metrics.

The system covers a broad range of capabilities, including synthetic speed auditing, network traffic analysis, and continuous performance testing. It provides observability tools for tracking device power consumption, estimating environmental impact, and exporting time-series data to external databases for long-term trend monitoring.

Tests can be managed via a command-line interface or a web-based deployment system using JSON-driven configurations.
