Product Details

What is Request Metrics?

Realtime website performance tests generated from real user experience on a website. Request Metrics gathers performance data from actual users, rather than a synthetic tests.

Request Metrics is website performance monitoring, simplified for small high performance teams. There is no complicated query languages to learn or theoretical metrics to understand. The service provides reports that help keep a website running fast, and customers happy.

Request Metrics aggregates data about each page of a website, showing interesting metrics about the traffic, load times, core web vitals, devices, and geographies. Users can dive in further and understand the resources that make up its pages, like images, JavaScript, CSS, and fonts. It can display which types or third-party origins are the slowest and which impact the site's load time metrics.

The dashboard reports in Request Metrics pull out interesting patterns in the data and highlight them in plain language: “Your traffic is up 80% from India”, “Your CLS Scores are Improving”, or “/product is loading more fonts”.

Custom tagging enables the user to slice and dice reports as desired. Group performance data for multiple pages together describe a version, a customer journey, or common codebase.

Request Metrics aims to make real user performance monitoring accessible to teams and companies of all sizes.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We're building a new client dashboard for managing our project work, assets, designs, and progress. It needs to be fast, flashy, and bug-free, as it's how our reputation will be seen by clients. We use Request Metrics to make sure the dashboard remains fast for our clients.

It is used by our team of 3 engineers to see the performance of the site for our clients.

Pros
  • Performance charts are really simple and easy for us to understand what is happening
  • It was easy to get started and doesn't need administration or training
  • It's affordable for our team
  • It's fast
Cons
  • I wish that it could also do uptime checking of the site
  • There is not enough detail to drill into individual users
Likelihood to Recommend
Request Metrics is great for small web development teams that want to make fast web applications. It was quick for us to get started and we could use the reports right away without having to read through documentation. If you just need to get some performance metrics, Request Metrics is perfect.

It would not be so good for a larger team or a complex backend application as it is pretty limited in what it can measure.

Return on Investment
  • The launch of our project dashboard was much smoother and more successful because we could fix problems earlier
  • It fit without our existing operations budget
Alternatives Considered
We also consider Speedcurve and Calibre for monitoring. Speedcurve was really nice, but the reports were slow. We had to wait a lot to get information. It was also out of our budget and would require extra justification to use it.

Calibre was also nice, but the numbers were based on synthetic rather than real user performance. We felt that this wasn't as helpful for us.
