Today is an exciting day at Yottaa. We’re announcing the launch of three – yep, three! – new APIs. These APIs provide developers and partners with access to our massive amounts of web performance data, and support integration of Yottaa with all kinds of web applications.

Our clearly documented APIs provide access to massive amounts of web performance data

Every day, our “YoBots” (real browsers in the cloud) collect detailed performance metrics for over 70,000 websites, from locations all around the globe.  That means TONS of highly-valuable data on how websites perform. (It’s literally hundreds of gigabytes per day.)  Since we are big supporters of open data and open applications, we came up with some new ways for developers easily and efficiently to access website performance data and to interact with Yottaa accounts.

At Yottaa, our mission is to make the web faster. Speed is in our DNA. Naturally, we had to incorporate this core value into our holiday party. So, the Boston office headed over to F1 Boston last week to put the pedal to the metal.

We duked it out in a four-race grand prix, reaching speeds of up to 47mph! Amidst all the trash talk (& burned rubber), Chris, our Director of Product Management, took home the checkered flag. Ironically enough, Chris never posted the fastest speed or lap time. He was just the most consistent. This similarly translates to web performance – a consistent website, across all pages & platforms, will always outperform the competition.

We had a blast & look forward to a re-match next year!

This is a too familiar story that happens over and over again: Your marketing team executed a successful campaign and then your site crashed under the resulted 10X traffic -How disappointing?!

See the graph below – site performance (Time to Interactivity) remains steady under the 100X traffic. Continue reading →
