Load Time API to measure any website.
See how long a page takes to load, broken down into DNS, connect, TLS, time to first byte and download, from multiple locations at once.
- 500 free credits every month
- No card to start
- Failed requests cost nothing
POST /loadtime
{
"url": "stripe.com"
}
Where the time goes, not just the total.
No browser to run and no timing code to write. Each request loads the page and returns every phase of the load as JSON.
Full timing breakdown
DNS lookup, connection, TLS handshake, time to first byte, download and total, each in milliseconds.
data.timingsTest from several countries
Measure from up to three more countries alongside the default US test and compare the results side by side.
targetCountries: ["gb", "in"]Status and reachability
Every response includes the HTTP status code, so the same call tells you whether the site is up and how fast it is.
data.statusCodeNetwork and protocol details
See the protocol used, the remote IP, bytes read, and which of HTTP/1.0, 1.1, 2 and 3 the server supports.
data.protocolSupportFollow redirects
Measure the URL as given, or follow redirects to the final page and time that instead.
followRedirect: trueResponse headers
The response headers come back too, useful for checking caching, security headers and the server behind a page.
data.headersMeasure load time from where your users are.
A site can be fast in one country and slow, or unreachable, in another. Test from up to three more countries in one request and compare the results side by side.

The parameters you'll use most.
See what each Load Time parameter does, what it costs, and when to use it.
| Parameter | Type | What it does | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | The page to measure. Any public URL. | — |
| followRedirect | boolean | Follow redirects and measure the final page. Defaults to false. | included |
| targetCountries | string[] | Up to 3 extra countries to test from, alongside the US test, e.g. ["gb", "ca"]. | +7 |
| proxyCountry | string | Run the single test through a proxy in this country, e.g. "de". | +4 |
What businesses do with the Load Time API.
Catch slowdowns before users do
Measure your key pages on a schedule and alert when time to first byte or total load time climbs past your threshold.
- TTFB and total load time
- Every phase in milliseconds
- HTTP status in the same call
POST /loadtime
{
"url": "stripe.com"
}Your first website test, in a few lines.
# pip install geekflare-api
from geekflare_api.client import GeekflareClient
from geekflare_api.models import LoadTimeDto
with GeekflareClient(api_key="<api-key>") as client:
result = client.load_time(
LoadTimeDto(
url="https://example.com"
)
)
print(result)One API. Every stack.
The same key works from an agent, a workflow builder, an SDK or your own service. Pick the lane you already live in.
MCP server
One remote endpoint exposes Geekflare's tools to any MCP client. Your agent discovers them itself: no glue code, no per-tool wiring.

LLM-ready Markdown straight into a retrieval pipeline, with the boilerplate stripped so you spend context on content, not navigation.
Workflow builders
Run any endpoint as a step in a visual scenario. Useful when the person who needs the data does not write code.
SDKs & REST
First-party typed SDKs for Python and Node. Everything else talks plain REST, from any language.

Credits are shared with every other Geekflare API. Failed requests cost nothing.
