WebPagetest Forums

Is it possible to send a request to a certain IP/server with a request URL?

This way I could run a webpagetest and bypass cloudflare, so that I can optimize my TTFB of my server and also compare my server's performance vs when cloudflare is used.

You can use a script with the setDns command to specify an IP address that a given domain should resolve to: https://sites.google.com/a/webpagetest.o...S-Override

So I would use the following under script?

navigate http://www.aol.com
setDns http://www.aol.com 127.0.0.1

Except with my own domain and IP of course

Flip them around. You need to set the DNS settings before navigating but otherwise yes.

oh, and no http:// on the setDNS command - just the domain.

I have this:
setDns http://www.elitegameservers.net 92.222.150.58
navigate https://www.elitegameservers.net

But it doesn't seem to work

Make sure that there are tabs between the command, and the parameters i.e.:
setDns<tab>www.elitegameservers.net<tab>92.222.150.58
navigate<tab>https://www.elitegameservers.net
