Check API Response Time
Fail the run when your API slows down
Check API Response Time asserts that a network request captured during the run finished within the seconds you set, from 0.25 to 30. Match the request by URL, then measure total time or a single phase such as waiting for the server response.
Use it on the requests users wait for:
Search and autocomplete
Login and account calls
Basket, pricing and checkout requests
Dashboards that load data after sign-in
Place it after the action that triggers the request, so the network entry exists.
Check API Response Time pairs well with Check Load Time to watch the page as well as the API, and Performance for a full Lighthouse score. Call an endpoint directly with GET when there is no UI to drive it.
