Speed Insights adds a free tier

Speed Insights now has a free tier that gives you a high-level performance overview from your real users. The paid product, now called Speed Insights Plus, includes deeper diagnostics and historical data. If you were already paying for Speed Insights, only the name has changed, your capabilities and pricing stay the same.

The free tier is available on every plan, for any number of projects. It includes 10,000 events per team every 30 days. Previously, free Speed Insights was limited to a single project on Hobby, and upgrading to Pro meant losing it unless you paid for the add-on. Now your free tier carries over, and you only pay if you upgrade to Speed Insights Plus.

Speed Insights reports how real visitors experience your pages, using live traffic rather than lab conditions. Speed Insights Plus adds slow-route diagnosis and detailed breakdowns for finding where pages get slow, and historical data to track performance over time. It also provides access to Drains and the Vercel CLI for working with performance data outside the dashboard.

Install @vercel/speed-insights in your project to start reporting real-user data, or open the Speed Insights dashboard to view your results.
