Synthetic monitoring is like a flight simulator for your website. In a simulator, you control every variable – weather, engine status, emergency conditions – repeating stressful scenarios until every system is tested. Synthetic monitoring works the same way: it runs scripted interactions on your site from different locations, measuring load times, uptime, and response times under a range of conditions.

Excellent performance is key for any application, regardless of the framework or language. Today’s digital consumers demand speed and precision, and will quickly quit a sluggish app. That's why performance monitoring, especially Real User Monitoring (RUM), is important for every developer to implement. We recently launched RUM for BugSnag, providing developers the visibility they need to ensure great application performance.
