Web Monitoring

Web monitoring is employed to identify network problems and web application outages. To verify network and web application availability, web monitoring software from various vendors is utilized (for instance, SolarWinds, Spector360, and IPNetwork Monitor).  

 

 

  Web monitoring software is used for automated and continuous surveillance of your network, alerting users if, for example, sites become inaccessible, unresponsive, or exhibit slow response times. For monitoring web applications, specialized tools are employed. These tools conduct ongoing monitoring of web applications and e-commerce websites like online stores, auctions, and web portals. By emulating real user actions, the tool allows continuous observation of actual user experience, ensuring optimal performance of your online store or enterprise web application. Notifications are dispatched if any application becomes unavailable. Web monitoring tools help guarantee the proper functionality and acceptable end-user performance of web applications and services. This web application monitoring tool simulates real-user interactions, providing practical results that reflect the end-user experience during e-commerce transactions on a website. The monitoring tool allows for setting performance benchmarks to trigger notifications if web application performance from the end-user’s perspective deteriorates unacceptably. These proactive alerts help avert more critical issues that could result in system downtime and significant financial losses. Web Performance Monitor is another term for web monitoring. It is used for monitoring web transactions from the end user’s standpoint. Web Performance Monitor facilitates the following:

• Monitoring slow page load speeds for every page within a user transaction
• Monitoring from various locations (within the firewall or cloud-based)
• Timely identification and resolution of website load time problems by location, page, or transaction
• Pinpointing the largest page elements (HTML, JavaScripts, CSS, Images), and sending alerts if images are mismatched
• Receiving alerts and notifications for incomplete or slow-loading pages

Data types monitored by web performance monitoring tools:

• Transaction response time
• Response time
• TCP connection time
• Time to first byte
• Time to last byte
• DNS resolution time
• Content size
• Content time
• Download time
