USE CASES
E-commerce performance challenges
Every second of downtime costs revenue. Every slow page loses customers.We help you identify and fix performance bottlenecks before they impact your business.
Limited-time offers drive massive traffic spikes that can overwhelm your infrastructure and crash your site during peak revenue opportunities.
Slow checkout processes lead to cart abandonment. Studies show 57% of users abandon if pages take more than 3 seconds to load.
With 55% of e-commerce traffic on mobile, poor mobile performance directly impacts conversions and revenue.
Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and holiday shopping create 10x traffic increases that require careful capacity planning.
Our aggregation model processes metrics asynchronously, with zero blocking or manual correlation. This allows real-time dashboards, deep insights, and horizontal scalability across distributed load generators.
A 1-second delay in page load time can reduce conversions by 7% and customer satisfaction by 16%.
