Introducing Treo — the page speed monitoring service that helps you build fast websites.

Treo monitoring results from the Live Demo.

Building fast websites is hard, but in 2018 page speed is a must as it improves sales, conversion, and SEO.

Treo is designed to prove the effectiveness of the optimizations you deploy. For example, to what extent does server-side rendering improve the page speed or how much does 3rd-party script harm the page interactivity.

By combining modern tooling with the power of data visualization, Treo provides evidence of fast web experience and helps you build performant websites.

Modern tooling

Chrome’s Lighthouse is a tool for measuring the quality of websites and provide recommendations.

Treo uses it to audit your pages. It performs an audit every hour to provide high-resolution reporting and alerts.

Simple metrics

Modern websites are complicated. Traditional metrics, like onLoad and DomContentLoaded, are no longer relevant and could be misleading as an optimization target.

Treo focuses on three simple metrics, which affect your user’s experience. These are First Meaningful Paint, First Interactive, and Consistently Interactive. Combined, they present a Lighthouse performance score.

Data visualization

Performance data can tell you the story and Treo is a tool to reveal it.

The page listing will help you to discover a few problems. Using the preview popup, you can scan through thousands data points within seconds and then go deep into to the Lighthouse report with one click (video).

Page interactivity is one of the keys to how users perceive performance. When a page gets blocked, the web experience degrades. Treo enables you to see a detailed distribution of Long Tasks using Interactivity HeatMap.

Discover the distribution of your metrics. Is it a stable value or is it unstable and possibly affected by 3rd-party content? Do you have a performance regression?

The path to web performance

Check out the Live Demo and see Treo in action. If you decided to improve the page speed of your site, give Treo a try. Go to https://treo.sh and authenticate with your Github account for a 14-day free trial.

Let’s build fast websites!
