Super Bowl 2025: Which websites scored & which fumbled? 🏈    Companies invest millions of dollars in 30-second commercials during the Super Bowl with the goal of driving viewers to their websites. However, if the website loads slowly, those viewers may leave before the page even fully loads. The takeaway is web performance is just as critical as these million-dollar commercials.    Below, take a look at which brands that advertised during the Super Bowl had the fastest and slowest page load times. 🧑💻    For additional statistics and insights, such as document complete time or LCP, click here: https://lnkd.in/eejPZCwr #football #SuperBowl #WebX #UserX #WebPerformance

Monitoring the things that affect your real-life users can reduce the business impact of sluggish digital performance up to 75%. By Vicki Walker, thanks to Catchpoint | #Observability

🩺 You wouldn’t skip your annual health check, so why neglect your digital health? Just like how smart rings and watches monitor your heart rate and sleep patterns to catch issues early, IT teams need to monitor their digital ecosystem before small problems lead to major ones. While Application Performance Monitoring (APM) checks app health, it can’t see the full picture—like network congestion, DNS delays, or ISP issues affecting user experience. That’s where Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) comes in. 🔎 Example: A global eCommerce site sees their APM showing smooth operations, no crashes, or no errors. Yet, customers in key regions keep abandoning their carts. The culprit? Slow DNS lookups and network lag. With IPM, they identify the issue, optimize their network, and recover lost revenue.

Users expect every click, login, and checkout to run smoothly. That’s where synthetic monitoring comes in—it acts as a tireless virtual user, catching performance issues before they impact real users. Playwright, a powerful browser automation framework, makes this even easier by simulating real user interactions across multiple browsers. With it, you can: 🔹Automate end-to-end testing for critical workflows like logins, checkouts, and searches 🔹 Ensure reliability with robust assertions that verify key UI elements 🔹 Debug efficiently with built-in wait methods that handle dynamic content 🔹 Test across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit to maintain consistency for all users By integrating Playwright with a global network of monitoring agents, you get real-world insights into how your site performs—helping you resolve issues before they affect customers.
