Monitoring a website is a key indicator in getting insights about our customers and users, as well as keeping an eye on the website’s performance. It can help in achieving optimal performance for our web application because of its analytic capabilities, which can help in diagnosing issues very quickly. Some of the things that it can help with are as follows:
-
We can track dependency rates, response times, and failure rates to figure out if there’s an external service that’s causing performance issues on our app.
-
We can view server and browser exceptions as well as the average page view time it takes to load a page for the end users.
-
