Page Performance Details

Overview

This custom tag captures all details regarding how the page loaded. This includes:

• DNS timing
• Domain connection timing information
• Request and response timing information
• DOM content load
• Page load timing information
• Redirection timing information (if there is a redirect)

Under Variable Summary report in ObservePoint data, select the Page Performance account to see the relevant variables.

• Connect-How-long: Shows the time in milliseconds to connect to the URL.
• Connect-Start: Shows the time in milliseconds to start the connect.
• Connect-Total: Shows the total time in milliseconds to start and connect to the URL.
• DNS-How-long: Shows the time in milliseconds for the DNS to connect.
• DNS-Start: Shows the time in milliseconds for the DNS to start to connect.
• DNS-Total: Shows the total time in milliseconds for the DNS to start and connect to the URL.
• DOM_Content-Loaded-How-long: Shows the time in milliseconds for the DOM content to load.
• DOM_Content-Loaded-Start: Shows the time in milliseconds for the DOM content to start loading.
• DOM_Content-Loaded-Total: Shows the total time in milliseconds for the DOM to start and finish loading.
• DOM_Interactive-How-long: Shows the time in milliseconds for the page subresources to load.
• DOM_Interactive-Total: Shows the time in milliseconds for the page subresources to start and finish loading.
• DOM_Loading-Start: Shows the time in milliseconds for the page subresources to start loading.
• Load_Event-How-long: Shows the time in milliseconds for an event to load on a URL.
• Load_Event-Start: Shows the time in milliseconds for an event to start loading.
• Load_Event-Total: Shows the total time in milliseconds for an event to start and finish loading.
• Redirect-How-Long: Shows the time in milliseconds for the URL to redirect.
• Redirect-Start: Shows the time in milliseconds for the URL to begin redirecting.
• Redirect-Total: Shows the total time in milliseconds for the URL to start and finish redirecting.
• Request-Start: Shows the time in milliseconds for a network request to start.
• Response-How-long: Shows the time in milliseconds for a network to respond.
• Response-Total: Shows the total time in milliseconds for a network to start and finish responding.
