ttfb

tool in golang for testing website speed and body & headers search

Description

After using over and over "while curl" loops, I made simple equivalent in go. You don't have to use Web Browser with Debug, curl or some other networking stuff. Just for fun and making life easier ;-)

Instalation

• go min. version: 1.14.5
• get it: go get github.com/Venomen/ttfb
• install it: go install github.com/Venomen/ttfb
• link it: ln -s ~/go/bin/ttfb /usr/local/bin/ttfb

Usage

• run from your ~/go/bin/ttfb or after symlink just ttfb
• remember to edit your ~/.ttfbEnv file (1st install will copy default conf)
• config options:

--url - provide url for testing, with http:// or https://
--search - you can grep some data in Header & Body from your request (wildcards available)
--no-cache - disable HTTP keep-alive and DNS cache (each request uses a new connection, --cache is by default)

Functions

• http client
• cache on/off (dns reusing transport & keep-alive mode)
• dot .env configuration
• cli for config options
• searching source code elements
• measuring connection speed; time to first byte
