# Browser Performance Testing with the Sitespeed.io container
+CAUTION: **Caution:**

+## Previous job definitions
+
+CAUTION: **Caution:**
+Before GitLab 11.5, Performance job and artifact had to be named specifically
+to automatically extract report data and show it in the merge request widget.
+While these old job definitions are still maintained they have been deprecated
+and may be removed in next major release, GitLab 12.0.
+You are advised to update your current `.gitlab-ci.yml` configuration to reflect that change.
+
+For GitLab 11.4 and earlier, the job should look like:
+
+```yaml
+performance:
+ stage: performance
+ image: docker:git
+ variables:
+ URL: https://example.com
+ services:
+ - docker:stable-dind
