HTTP Server Tests

The Connected Devices HTTP server tests work exactly like the Content Delivery Network test suite, only the HTTP server test measures against one target that can be any custom HTTP server while the CDN test suite measures all or as many of the pre-configured CDNs we monitor as you like. The HTTP server test is configurable, as outlined below.

For information about how the test works, and to see which CDNs you can test to, see Content Delivery Network (CDN) Test Suitearrow-up-right.
