Real User Monitoring (RUM)

Real User Monitoring (RUM) gives you real-time insights into your web application’s performance from your actual users’ perspective. Track Core Web Vitals, analyze user journeys, and identify performance bottlenecks that impact user experience.

Unlike synthetic monitoring that tests from controlled environments, RUM captures how your application actually performs for real users across different devices, networks, and locations. This gives you the complete picture of user experience and helps you prioritize optimizations that matter most.

What You Can Monitor

1. Core Web Vitals: Track Google’s official user experience metrics including Time to First Byte (TTFB), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Contentful Paint (FCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and Interaction to Next Paint (INP).

2. User Traffic Patterns: Understand when and how users interact with your application, identify peak usage periods, and see which pages receive the most traffic.

3. Performance Distribution: Analyze performance at different percentiles (P75, P90, P99) to understand how your application performs for different user segments.

4. Real-Time Filtering: Filter by specific pages, user attributes, environments, and application versions to drill down into performance issues.

Key Benefits

• Identify Real Issues: See performance problems that actually affect your users, not just lab conditions
• Prioritize Optimizations: Focus on pages and issues that impact the most users
• Track Improvements: Measure the impact of performance optimizations over time
• Environment Comparison: Compare performance across different deployment environments
• Version Analysis: Understand how new releases affect user experience
