Understanding Real User Monitoring (RUM)

Real User Monitoring (RUM) gives you visibility into behind-the-scene performance of a web application and accurate insight into end-user experience. RUM visualizes application interaction patterns and gives in-depth understanding of problems affecting real users accessing websites and applications in real-time. You also get to analyze application performance from every aspect like browser, platform, geography, ISP and more.

How it Works?

Users simply need to generate a small Javascript snippet and install it in the header or footer part of the HTML code of the web application that needs to be tracked. From there on, all the performance data would be captured and presented. Site24x7 Real User Monitoring supports major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera for traditional application monitoring. Single user application monitoring through Ajax calls are supported only on Google Chrome as of now. Support for monitoring webpages built using Mode View Controller (MVC) frameworks like Angular, Ember and React is also available.
