Performance

Live Performance Graph

At the heart of the Performance Monitoring page is a real-time line graph showing the response time of your website over a defined period. This graph helps you quickly spot:

• Traffic spikes

• Downtime periods

• Performance degradation

Each colour-coded section of the graph represents a specific stage in the connection process:

• DNS Lookup Time – Time taken to resolve the domain name

• TCP Connection Time – Time for TCP handshake to establish connection

• TLS Connection Time – Duration of SSL/TLS handshake for secure connection

• Remote Server Processing – Time taken by your server to handle the request

• Content Download – Time taken to download and render the website content

Metrics Breakdown

Beneath the graph, each connection stage is explained with a short description, providing a beginner-friendly explanation of the full page lifecycle:

• DNS Lookup Time: How quickly the domain resolves to an IP.

• TCP Connection Time: Measures network latency between user and server.

• TLS Connection Time: Reflects SSL negotiation performance.

• Remote Server Processing: Indicates backend/server-side delays.

• Content Download: Shows frontend rendering and asset load time.

Why Performance Monitoring Matters

• Instant Issue Detection – Know the moment something breaks.

• Performance Trends – Identify if your site is slowing down over time.

• Troubleshooting Clarity – Pinpoint which part of the connection is responsible for slowness.

• Client Confidence – Use monitoring data in reports to show reliability and professionalism.

Use Cases

• Agencies monitoring multiple client websites from one panel

• Developers troubleshooting backend or host-related latency

• Site owners confirming hosting SLAs and uptime guarantees
