Have you ever clicked a website and waited while it struggled to open? That is a sign that the website or web service performs poorly. Research suggests a website has only two or three seconds to load. If it takes longer, visitors move on.
All in one website performance monitoring measures the journey of a page from several locations and breaks the load time into stages. That turns a vague feeling that a site is slow into a list of specific items to fix.
What good monitoring records
- DNS lookup time and connection time.
- First byte time and last byte time.
- Total response time and page load time.
- Availability checks from more than 60 global regions.
- Alerts by email, SMS, voice, instant message and push notification.
With that data you can benchmark a campaign, compare your site with a competitor and confirm that a change actually improved speed instead of just feeling faster.
Next steps: Website Monitoring and the Web Page Analyzer turn these measurements into a repeatable routine.
