Noise Canceling RUM | Tim Vereecke | performance.now() 2023
Noisy Real User Monitoring (RUM) data can ruin your day!
We introduce a fresh concept called "Human Visible Navigations" (HVN) to tackle this risk; we focus on the experiences you actually care about when talking about the speed of our sites:
Human: We exclude noise coming from bots and synthetic measurements.
Visible: We remove any partial or fully hidden experiences. These tend to be very slow but users don’t see this slowness.
Navigations: We ignore lightning fast back-forward navigations which usually have few optimisation opportunities.
Adopting Human Visible Navigations provides you with these key benefits:
Fewer changes staying below the radar
Fewer data fluctuations
Fewer blindspots when finding bottlenecks
Better correlation with business metrics
This is supported by plenty of real world examples coming from the world's largest scale modeling site (6M Monthly visits) in combination with aggregated data from the brand new rumarchive.com.
