Calibre

What it does well
- Automates Google Lighthouse tests for consistent performance tracking over time.
- Integrates with Slack and GitHub to provide alerts within existing developer workflows.
- Allows setting performance budgets to prevent regressions on key metrics.
Where it falls short
- No free tier is available for small projects or individual evaluation.
- The $75/month starting price can be high for freelancers or small teams.
- Focuses solely on front-end performance, requiring other tools for uptime or backend monitoring.
