The tech industry employs some of the most talented marketing professionals in the world. When it’s time for us to consider buying a new phone, tablet, or computer, we often encounter the best efforts of those excellent minds in the form of some of the most appealing and compelling advertising the world has ever seen. For many people, the tech shopping process can be a confusing jumble of slick commercials, media hype, unfamiliar jargon, and competing claims. Objective and relevant performance evaluation tools can help to cut through all the marketing noise and give shoppers confidence that they’re making smart buying decisions.

WebXPRT and the other BenchmarkXPRT apps—the XPRTs—are a set of free, industry-leading performance evaluation tools that we designed to test a wide range of devices fairly and on a level playing field. In the tech world, many people refer to these types of tools as “benchmarks.” While some benchmarks can be difficult to use and may produce obscure metrics, we designed the XPRT apps to be easy to use and reflective of the ways that people use their devices in the real world.

With an earned reputation for relevance and user-friendly features, WebXPRT and the other XPRT tools have earned go-to benchmark status with many OEMs, research labs, tech press outlets, retailers, and consumers around the world. Since we started the BenchmarkXPRT program, journalists have mentioned the XPRTs in more than 12,500 articles and reviews. Users have run XPRT tests in almost 1,000 cities in over 80 countries, including more than 1.5 million runs of the WebXPRT browser performance test. WebXPRT is particularly popular because it examines the performance of devices doing something we all do many times each day: working with the web.

WebXPRT and the other XPRTs are great resources for anyone who wants unbiased ways to compare tech device performance and capabilities.
