Page Performance Report

Overview

MVMCloud Analytics automatically tracks performance data for each page view. The main way to analyze your site speed is in the performance report, which can be found in Behavior >> Performance section in the main menu on the left.

This section shows how long it takes to load all the pages on your website and provides a detailed breakdown of which stages of the loading process contribute the most to your site's speed. As you can see in the example below, it also tracks how these metrics change over time, so you can avoid loading times each increasingly large and identify potential problems as they arise.

Page Performance Tables

Below the performance charts and sparkline summaries, you'll find detailed performance metrics broken down for each individual page.

Performance by page title

There are two different tables so you can review your pages' performance metrics broken down by page URLs and page titles, depending on your site configuration and preference. An important thing to remember is that although specific performance metrics available in each of these tables are the same, results may vary depending on your site configuration. For example, the Page Titles report might include multiple pages with duplicate titles, while the page URL report should always account for a single page.

You'll also find related report links at the bottom of each table if you want to focus on the entry or exit pages. These related reports may be helpful as slow loading times are a common cause of high bounce rates and exit rates.

In the example screenshot above, you can see where an issue occurred that affected DOM processing time. The report was given to a developer who recognized an error that was increasing page load times and was fixed the next day.

In some cases, It may not be as obvious as the example above, but if you are using the annotations feature of MVMCloud Analytics represented (annotation icon Annotation icon , You may find that you've noted specific changes to your site that coincide with a page speeding up or slowing down.
