Can also look at GTmetrix:

    https://gtmetrix.com/

which has rest api to launch real browser from a bunch of different
locations and then can access the HAR file to see time to first byte,
dns resolution, and a bunch of other metrics. 

    https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.nanog.org/INgQIGE6#waterfall

Full disclosure, GT owns it (but you can do everything you want with
free api). 

Cheers,
