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.

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