ERROR: UrlLoadError: Failed to load/verify on speedtest.io when trying to test something on localhost

When I try to run tests on my localhost using speedtest.io I get the following output:

Google Chrome 71.0.3578.80

I ran speedtest with the following command: docker run --shm-size=1g --rm -v "$(pwd)":/sitespeed.io sitespeedio/sitespeed.io:7.7.3 --config config.json http://localhost:5000/issues/44

My config.json file has the following configs:

{
  "browsertime": {
    "iterations": 8,
    "browser": "chrome"
  },
  "utc": true,
  "outputFolder": "edited_chrome"
}

If I try to test a website like github.com or anything else in the web, this configuration works fine.

Solution

  • I was using the wrong command. I was running the website on my computer and sitespeed on docker, so docker couldn't see my localhost Fortunately there is an easy solution for this if you're on a Mac, simply use something like:

    docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/sitespeed.io sitespeedio/sitespeed.io:8.2.3 -b firefox http://host.docker.internal:4000/
