Performance monitoring is another pillar within Simply Data managed services offering. This is a big topic and for today’s post, we will be detailing out on web performance monitoring or more specifically RUM (real-user monitoring).
RUM provides visibility into key performance metrics such as LCP (largest contentful paint), FID (first input delay), and CLS (cumulative layout shift).
LCP (largest contentful paint):
The amount of time to render the largest content element visible in the viewport, from when the user requests the URL. The largest element is typically an image or video, or perhaps a large block-level text element. This is important because it tells the reader that the URL is actually loading.
FID (first input delay):
The time from when a user first interacts with your page (when they clicked a link, tapped on a button, and so on) to the time when the browser responds to that interaction. This measurement is taken from whatever interactive element that the user first clicks. This is important on pages where the user needs to do something, because this is when the page has become interactive.
CLS (cumulative layout shift):
CLS measures the sum of all individual layout shift scores for every unexpected layout shift that occurs during the entire lifespan of the page. The score is zero to any positive number, where zero means no shifting and the larger the number, the more layout shift on the page. This is important because having pages elements shift while a user is trying to interact with it is a bad user experience. If you can’t seem to find the reason for a high value, try interacting with the page to see how that affects the score.
Each metrics has its own baseline which is defined by Google. Additionally, every web element load times are recorded so that developers knows which to optimize. For detailed information and screenshots, refer to our solution brief and FAQ documentation.
We have launched our RUM-as-a-Service package where customer can leverage on the platform provided by us to have RUM visibility. Contact us for more information. At the meantime, feel free to browse through our datasheet, solution brief, and FAQs.
