Catchpoint announced their new Website Experience Monitoring solution to help businesses build
websites that beat the competition on search rankings, deliver great brand
experiences, and drive more revenue by converting more users.
The new solution brings
WebpageTest capabilities directly into Catchpoint, enabling organizations to
rapidly catch performance issues before they impact revenue. In addition,
it provides developers actionable insights and the tools they need to dive deep
and remediate even the most complicated performance issues that impact end
users.
For Businesses
Website Performance and
Revenue are deeply interlinked. One study by the BBC revealed that for every 1
second slower a page loads, an additional 10% of users will drop from the site.
Slowdowns can be disastrous for news, media, and eCommerce businesses that rely
on their website for revenue and can also negatively affect brand perception.
With Website Performance
Monitoring by Catchpoint, businesses can give their QA, SRE, and Development
teams the tools they need to identify and remediate front-end performance
issues before they impact revenue. Rather than having separate tools for
monitoring, alerting, and remediation, the addition of WebPageTest gives the
entire team an end-to-end solution and enables seamless collaboration on one
platform.
For Developers and
Managers
Developers need to know when
their websites are performing poorly due to in-house code issues. Some
solutions exist to alert development teams when site speed drops, but few give
developers the tools they need to actively dive deep and rapidly remediate
issues caused by, among many others:
- HTML
requests
- JavaScript
load ordering and async calls
- 3rd
party dependencies
- Variations
in user device (browser, viewport, network throttling, etc.)
WebPageTest has earned a
reputation as the gold standard for website performance testing because of its
lengthy open-source development history and community contributions, leading to
dozens of extremely powerful dev tools for performance testing. These include:
- Highly-detailed
waterfall charts w/ connections, events, and requests
- 60 FPS
webpage load filmstrips w/ key events highlighted
(load complete, LCP, etc.)
- Side-by-side
test comparisons to identify changes between dates, locations, releases
Adding WebpageTest
capabilities directly into Catchpoint gives your development team the metrics
they need to track to continuously improve performance, the alerts they need to
- Metrics
to continuously monitor and improve performance
- Alerts

- Dev
tools to rapidly find root causes and remediate issues
- Correlate
data with other Catchpoint tests, including Real User Monitoring &
Synthetics
The new Website Performance Monitoring solution

Customer, Workforce, Network, and Application Experience ensuring that
organizations can catch any issues across their internet stack before it
impacts their business.
