Chart annotations

Annotations allow you to mark specific dates in your web performance charts.

For example, you could add an annotation when:

  • a new release is deployed
  • a new image was added to your homepage
  • your CDN adds support for a new image format
  • you enable HTTP/2 on your server

Limiting annotations to specific pages

By default annotations are added to all pages in a project. You can change this using the Apply to dropdown.

  • Project: add annotation to all pages
  • Subdomain: add annotations to this hostname, for example app.example.com
  • URL: add annotations to all pages with the same URL
  • This page: only add annotations to this specific monitored page
