Introducing BrowserHawk's patented Page Load Time (PLT) technology. For a totally new kind of web performance tracking that rivals traditional monitoring tools and services. |
|
What is PLT?
Our patented technology in BrowserHawk enables you to track page load times for every visitor to your site in real-time. Unlike traditional monitoring tools, the page load times reported are the actual load times as experienced by your visitors.
How does PLT rival traditional tools?
Unlike the traditional monitoring tools that use synthetic transactions, BrowserHawk measures the actual load times that each of your site visitors experience. Our PLT technology provides 100% complete, end-to-end visibility into the responsiveness of your site and its performance in the "real world".

What information is tracked?
Information is tracked on how long your users wait for each page to start loading ("latency"), how long it takes for each page to load ("intra-page load time"), the total amount of time it takes for each page to load, the path and name of each requested page, and the type of page request ("HitType"), such as if the page was viewed from the browser's cache.
Details on each user's browser, system, and connection are also available.
