New Relic has learned a lot from looking at the Real User Monitoring data that’s been coming in fast and furious over the last month. Based on the Javascript library created by Google’s Steve Souders, RUM shows what performance issues actual users are experiencing on a site, right now. This slideshow highlights some of their initial findings.
Click through for highlights from New Relic's recent look at Real User Monitoring.
The average person visits 88 websites each day, senses a delay only one second after click, and spends 10 minutes each day waiting for the Web.
When a customer clicks, where is that time going?
Ten percent of the transaction time, an average of .6 seconds, is caused by the server. The right app monitoring tools can pinpoint and diagnose issues, such as bad coding or slow servers.
Twenty-three percent of the transaction time, an average of 1.4 seconds, is caused by the network. Is it the ISP, cable operator, infrastructure provider, the code? Optimization is harder but some monitoring tools can help.
Sixty-seven percent of the transaction time, an average of 4 seconds, is caused by the browser. Clean up the code, minimize the size of resources, and call a CDN provider for help.
