Use the journey execution report, available from a Scenario chart, to see more details on the performance of the user scenario.
What's included in the execution report
- At the top of report you can see a reminder of the execution configuration: The URL defining the starting point of the scenario and the device and location used during this specific run.
- Each step of the journey is color coded so you can easily identify its performance results in the graphs.
- View a step-by-step breakdown of the number of requests, weight and web performance metrics (First Byte, Start Render, Fully Loaded, Speed Index etc). For each metric see the value related to a step and the cumulative value, for all the steps.
Steps Execution
View a recap of all executed steps and actions during the user journey monitoring.
Actions, successful and failed checks are properly highlighted to ensure that you can effectively analyze any problems that may happen during execution.
Detailed report of step execution
Access the detailed report of a step execution from the data of a specific report, by clicking on the 'Details' button of a step.
Use the 'Actions' dropdown menu to edit the specific step or manage the alert thresholds relative to the given step. You can also execute the current journey or modify its implementation, but also manage the alerts relative to the whole journey or this specific step, and the related events.
A navigation bar gives you instant access to the overall user journey report, the previous and next step, if any.
Video replay
Use the scenario step report to easily jump in time, directly, to a metric in the video replay. Access the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) element to highlight it directly in a scenario.
Click on the metric name of Start Render, FCP, LCP* and Visually Complete to access their point in time.
*Selecting the LCP metric will highlight the LCP element on the video replay and will display the technical LCP Event information.
Note:
CLS and Speed Index do not match a point in time but are displayed as video replay, as a useful way to better understand the values.
Element: ID/class/filename of the element
Size: Ratio is computed compared to the viewport, based on the LCP element width and height
HTML code: Extract of the HTML code to better identify the LCP element when needed.
Weight: Size of the image file
Path: Full path of the request triggering the LCP
Note
Weight and Path will only show if LCP is triggered by an image.
The filmstrip enables you to breakdown the loading of your tested web page frame by frame with regular intervals. Each image in the film strips gets its related rate. This percentage reveals the rate of rendering completion of the step against the final state. The '100%' rate indicates that the 'Visually Complete' status has been reached.
Note:
The Speed Index calculation is based on these rates in order to account for the progressiveness of the page rendering.
Resources and Browser errors breakdown
See the breakdown of resources to see the amount of data downloaded by resource type.
View a summary of the browser errors. This area indicates the number of errors or warnings issued by the web browser while visually collecting the tested step. This information usually appear in the browser console (for developers). We are showing them here after having filtered them.
The detailed report displays the sequence of actions composing the step (interactions and checks) before displaying the waterfall (network activity captured during the main action).
If the main action of the step is not successfully executed, view additional information to understand the error:
- The URL before and after the action
- A screenshot of the page where the error occurred.
