Monitoring vs. Measuring — Smashing Magazine


What does your performance “stack” look like? There are all kind of tools available for measuring page speed, but what data and assumptions do they use to measure performance? And speaking of measuring performance, there’s quite a difference between that and monitoring performance. Geoff Graham evaluates the data of different tools for measuring page speed performance and looks specifically at DebugBear, a commercial offering, that pulls together the best metrics for not only measuring performance, but monitoring it over time as well.

There is no shortage of ways to measure the speed of a webpage. The tooling to get a report with details from the time it takes to establish a server connection to the time it takes for the full page to render is out there. In fact, there’s great tooling right under the hood of most browsers in DevTools that can do many things that a tried-and-true service like WebPageTest offers, complete with recommendations for improving specific metrics.

I don’t know about you, but it often feels like I’m missing something when measuring page speed performance. Even with all of the available tools at my disposal, I still find myself reaching for several of them. Certain tools are designed for certain metrics with certain assumptions that produce certain results. So, what I have is a hodgepodge of reports that needs to be collected, combined, and crunched before I have clear picture of what’s going on.

The folks at DebugBear understand this situation...
