Why We Are Different
Web performance isn’t a single number—it’s a story. Request Metrics ties this story together, unifying synthetic tests, real user data, and Google’s rankings. With deep insights, actionable fixes, and the best support in the business, we help you make your site faster where it actually matters. No fluff, no investors, just a small team dedicated to real performance monitoring.
Unified Web Performance
There’s no single metric that tells the full story of your site’s performance. A lab test might say your site is fast, but your real users could be suffering. Real User Monitoring (RUM), synthetic reports, and Google’s Core Web Vitals all provide different perspectives. Request Metrics brings them together, so you can make informed decisions that actually improve your site.
Real User Monitoring (RUM) That Answers Your Questions
-
Know where to focus. RUM data highlights the pages that need attention based on real users experience.
-
Traffic matters. A slow page that no one visits doesn't matter–but a slow checkout page is a problem.
-
Filter out the noise. Filter performance by country, device, browser, or even individual sessions to understand performance patterns.
Synthetic Tests for Useful Recommendations
-
Immediate Feedback. See what’s slowing your pages down and get actionable fixes: smaller images, less JavaScript, better caching.
-
Visualize Performance. Recreate the loading experience of your users with high-fidelity load screenshots.
-
Identify Problems. Find and fix potential problems before they slow down your users.
