• Monitor the Health of Your Node.js Application

  Now comes the monitoring part, woo! Monitoring performance indicators in Node.js is very simple. You can opt-in to use the simple internal tools that Node provides, or you can use a fully-fledged tool like AppSignal. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• How To Instrument Your Elixir Application with AppSignal

  In this article, we went over the basics of adding instrumentation to an Elixir application. We learned how instrumentation can help us uncover bottlenecks and improve an application's performance. We also saw how AppSignal can help us aggregate and visualize the data we collect. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• A Guide to Phoenix LiveView Assigns

  The caveman technique is great for a single developer working on an application that hasn't been pushed to production. However, if you have an app in production with live users, you may want to take a look at AppSignal for monitoring your application performance and checking for errors in production. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• A PageSpeed insight report, but for every page in your domain

  Trust neither. The most optimal option I've found is webpagetest.org Its been quite handy lately. This tool does look interesting. Source: 12 months ago

• How are you all accurately checking your website load time? Not sure PageSpeedInsights is very helpful.

  Webpagetest.org is another. Pagespeedinsights and lighthouse are great for identifying page load issues to fix, but actual page load times will always vary between the user and your web server. Universal analytics has some page load timings but that's going away soon and nothing afaik is in GA4.

• Extreme confusing over Speed Index results -- webpagetest.org

  So I am working on rebuilding our company's site with a new stack. I am running tests using webpagetest.org, and I am having trouble fully understanding the speed index results as well as the film strip view. The page renders quite fast everywhere I test it. Google Lighthouse shows it in the 90s + for performance score, however when I test the page on webpagetest, I get load times of 77 seconds (NOT MS) which is... Source: about 1 year ago

• Does anyone else experience pure ecstasy when they get 100 on Lighthouse? 😩

  Webpagetest.org is great, and checking OP's site they have done an incredible job, I don't think I have ever made or seen an Ecom site this slick. Super clean waterfall view. Source: about 1 year ago

  Thanks for the recommendation regarding webpagetest.org, another user made a similar recommendation so I will check it out. Source: about 1 year ago
