What happened to Speedway?

Speedway was our standalone site monitoring product, built on the same infrastructure and scripting capabilities as Loadster. It has since been merged back into Loadster, and all of its monitoring capabilities now live in Loadster Site & API Monitoring.

For a while we offered the two side by side, with Speedway specializing in monitoring while Loadster covered load testing. In 2024 we rolled all the monitoring capabilities into Loadster, and rather than maintaining two overlapping products, we’ve now retired Speedway entirely. Monitoring in Loadster does everything Speedway did: scheduled synthetic monitoring with Protocol Bots, Browser Bots, or Playwright scripts, from multiple locations around the world, with incidents, alerting, and hosted status pages.

If you were a Speedway customer, your monitors have a home in Loadster, and your scripts work the same way since both products shared the same scripting engine. Please contact us at help@loadster.com if you have any questions about accessing your former Speedway monitors.

To set up monitoring in Loadster, see the Site & API Monitoring section of the manual, or start with the monitoring landing page for an overview of what Loadster monitors can do.
