Understand and Optimize Network Traffic
- Understand download timeline
- Capture content and data volume
- Verify caching strategy
- Identity network or server problems
- Analyze connection wait times
Understanding and optimizing network traffic is key for high performing AJAX applications. Inefficient download behavior e.g. of images, style sheets or generated
JavaScript code always results in bad user experiences. Therefore we have equipped dynaTrace AJAX Edition with support for in-depth network analysis.
First we must understand where long download times come from. The download time breakdown shows download as well as server times to distinguish server-side from network problems. As the browser provides only a limited number of connections per host, additional connection wait times indicate when too many concurrent download requests slow down the application.
Download time lines should help you understand how and in which order content is downloaded. We further enriched this information with details on data volume, actual download content and caching behavior to provide further hints for network usage optimization.
