copied!<p>New Relic measures browser experience of real-world users from all over the globe with various connection speeds, browsers, and computers. As Jesse mentioned, comparing RUM with Pingdom isn't an apples to apples comparison. It's also unlikely that real-world experience on your website will match your experience and that's why RUM is so useful. </p> <p>There are many ways to test the performance of a web page including webpagetest.org and <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/" rel="noreferrer">YSlow</a>. These tools might give you some more information about why your page is taking longer to load than you expect.</p> <p>With access to the full suite of New Relic tools, you can access a geographic breakdown of page load time as described here: <a href="https://newrelic.com/docs/mobile-apps/geography-dashboard" rel="noreferrer">https://newrelic.com/docs/mobile-apps/geography-dashboard</a> where you might discover that connections from a certain location are skewing your results unexpectedly. You can also access the browsers breakdown as described here: <a href="https://newrelic.com/docs/site/browsers" rel="noreferrer">https://newrelic.com/docs/site/browsers</a> where you might find that one particular browser is exceptionally slow for your page. If it's related to a browser, that's something you can certainly address. If it's just geography, you can rest easily knowing there's not much you can do beside perhaps a CDN which addresses connectivity issues in that location.</p> <p>On the web transactions tab, you can see the browser performance by transaction even with a free subscription and that might help you see that one page is much slower than you realized and give you a target for optimization.</p>
