Website Performance Monitoring With Network Visibility

Website Monitoring With ThousandEyes

Over time, web pages have bulked up with and scripts and media from partners, CDNs, and other remote networks.

With so many objects on each page all served up from different locations.

It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what's causing degraded website performance for end users.

ThousandEyes monitors the delivery of your websites and online applications, so you can understand how your web performance is affected by the network and how it stacks up against other similar services.

Two types of tests collect data measuring website performance.

Page Load tests, load the entire web pages in a browser, fetching each object on the page even if it's hosted on the third-party service.

This test provides aggregate data like page load time, total wire size, and number of objects.

And also object level information presented in a waterfall view.

HTTP Server, network and routing layer views are also available to provide more detailed network context for the root object.

A web transaction test is essentially a series of page load test.

The ThousandEyes recorder makes it easy to record a set of page loads, interspersed with user interactions like clicks and form fills using Selenium scripts.

Measure total transaction time and the time taken up by each step in page in addition to waterfall views that break out load times by object.

Use the waterfall view available on both tests and provided by each cloud and enterprise agent to measure the performance of domains and providers.

And also drill down into the components of load time for each object.

Using this wealth of data, you'll be able to track the performance of CDNs, ad networks, scripts, media, analytics pixels, and external data sources.

Page load alerts and notifications are set up with customizable thresholds based on metrics like response time and page load time, as well as situations where the page load is incomplete or components domain changes.

Web transaction tests can alert an errors in the duration of a transaction.

These notifications can alert you to changes in your web pages and third-party services that are impacting web performance.

To summarize or find trends in your data, generate ad hoc or schedule performance reports.

You can also easily save data for your records and share interactive links with your team or service providers.

Setting up page load and web transaction tests is quick and easy.
