We can help you with anything from auditing your pages to configuring your monitoring. Our team includes some of the most experienced performance professionals in the industry. Benefit from our 20+ years of making mistakes – and ultimately learning how to get it right.
KickStart
Make sure your monitoring setup is optimized for your current needs. Here’s how it works:
- We look at your current testing setup and work with you to recommend which pages should be measured and how they should be tested.
- We build scripts to hide cookie banners and other pop-ups so you're measuring what really matters.
- We ensure your RUM is categorizing pages appropriately.
- We provide advice and examples on how to track conversions, logged-in stats, and other custom metrics you can track in RUM.
- We recommend which metrics you should track – including, but not limited to, Core Web Vitals.
- We help configure your performance budgets and alerts – determining appropriate budget thresholds, and then building the custom dashboards, alerting, and automatic reports that allow you to monitor them.
- We help create your benchmark dashboard so you can track your site alongside your competitors.
- We show you how to prioritize the performance fixes you should focus on for maximum results.
KickStart is a fast, efficient service that won’t consume a lot of your time. The aim is to update and fine-tune your monitoring as quickly as possible.
