What is RUM & Why You Should Use it — Everything You Need To Know
Summary
DevOps teams implement real user monitoring (RUM) to help identify the root cause of front-end performance problems. Long load times and timeouts lead to dissatisfied website users and damage a website’s search engine ranking • Improves troubleshooting and helps Dev teams eliminate deployment difficulties with customizable search filters and variables • Increases DevOps efficiency and resource allocation to resolve performance issues by determining when high-priority pages are performing poorly A generally passive technology, RUM collects data only when apps are used or web pages are visited. RUM tracks how visitors use a website or application, providing access to important metrics and the ability to analyze individual visits. Technical nuances drive these types of trends since client code has become much more complex and more prone to unexpected bugs, defects, and performance issues. Real user monitor data can be used to identify the actual level of service quality provided to end-users and to discover misbehavior or slowdowns on websites and applications.
