[`Browser-Performance.gitlab-ci.yml` template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Verify/Browser-Performance.gitlab-ci.yml) provided as a part of your GitLab installation.

For versions before 12.4, see the information for [older GitLab versions](#gitlab-versions-123-and-older).
If you are using a Kubernetes cluster, use [`template: Jobs/Browser-Performance-Testing.gitlab-ci.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Jobs/Browser-Performance-Testing.gitlab-ci.yml)
instead.
The above example creates a `performance` job in your CI/CD pipeline and runs
sitespeed.io against the webpage you defined in `URL` to gather key metrics.
The [GitLab plugin for sitespeed.io](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gl-performance)
is downloaded to save the report as a [Performance report artifact](../../../ci/pipelines/job_artifacts.md#artifactsreportsperformance-premium)
that you can later download and analyze. Due to implementation limitations, we always
take the latest Performance artifact available.
The full HTML sitespeed.io report is saved as an artifact, and if
[GitLab Pages](../pages/index.md) is enabled, it can be viewed directly in your browser.
The example uses a CI/CD template that is included in all GitLab installations since
12.4, but it will not work with Kubernetes clusters. If you are using GitLab 12.3
or older, you must [add the configuration manually](#gitlab-versions-123-and-older)

-`SITESPEED_OPTIONS`: Configure any additional sitespeed.io options as required (default `nil`). Refer to the [sitespeed.io documentation](https://www.sitespeed.io/documentation/sitespeed.io/configuration/) for more details.

1. In the `review` job, persist the hostname and upload it as an artifact so
it's available to the `performance` job. The same can be done for static
environments like staging and production to unify the code path. You can save it

1. Generate a URL list file with the dynamic URL.
1. Save the file as an artifact, for example with `echo $CI_ENVIRONMENT_URL > environment_url.txt`

1. In the `performance` job, read the previous artifact into an environment
variable. In this case, use `$URL` because the sitespeed.io command
uses it for the URL parameter. Because Review App URLs are dynamic, define
the `URL` variable through `before_script` instead of `variables`.

### Previous job definitions
### GitLab versions 12.3 and older
CAUTION: **Caution:**
Before GitLab 11.5, the Performance job and artifact had to be named specifically
to automatically extract report data and show it in the merge request widget.
While these old job definitions are still maintained, they have been deprecated
and may be removed in next major release, GitLab 12.0.
GitLab recommends you update your current `.gitlab-ci.yml` configuration to reflect that change.
Browser Performance Testing has gone through several changes since it's introduction.
In this section we'll detail these changes and how you can run the test based on your
GitLab version:
For GitLab 11.4 and earlier, the job should look like:
- In GitLab 12.4 [a job template was made available](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Verify/Browser-Performance.gitlab-ci.yml).
- In 13.2 the feature was renamed from `Performance` to `Browser Performance` with
additional template variables. The job name in the template is still `performance`
for compatibility reasons, but may be renamed to match in a future iteration.
- For 11.5 to 12.3 no template is available and the job has to be defined manually as follows:
