Speed is now non-negotiable in an era where users are human, but evaluators are robots. Whether someone abandons a cart or a crawler skips your page, slow performance costs you money and visibility. Full-stack observability isn’t a luxury anymore; it’s survival.

Last week, we rolled out front-end observability and automatically opt our customers in without their explicit consent.

How does it feel when your app still feels slow despite months of optimization work? As it turns out, the backend is fast, but your frontend is lying. Blackfire now shows you what real users experience in their browsers, so you can see it, fix it, and prove it. All with zero privacy compromise.

From open-source beginnings to global impact, Blackfire has always had one clear goal: putting performance control back in developers’ hands. Built to solve real pain points, Blackfire transforms observability from overwhelming to empowering.

We’re thrilled to launch the Blackfire Learning Center: 40+ bite-sized videos to help every user unlock the full power of Blackfire, fast.

You asked for it, and we embraced it. Blackfire now has a Dark Mode because performance optimization hits differently in the shadows.
