What this skill does
Real User Monitoring Implement Real User Monitoring (RUM) to capture Core Web Vitals, page load times, and custom performance events using Google Analytics, Datadog RUM, or New Relic. Overview This skill streamlines the process of setting up Real User Monitoring (RUM) for web applications. It guides you through the essential steps of choosing a platform, defining metrics, and implementing the tracking code to capture valuable user experience data. How It Works 1. Platform Selection: Helps you consider available RUM platforms (e.g., Google Analytics, Datadog RUM, New Relic). 2. Instrumentation Design: Guides you in defining the key performance metrics to track, including Core Web Vitals and custom events. 3. Tracking Code Implementation: Assists in implementing the necessary JavaScript code to collect and transmit performance data. When to Use This Skill This skill activates when you need to: Implement Real User Monitoring on a website or web application. Track Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) to improve user experience. Monitor page load times (FCP, TTI, TTFB) for performance optimization. Examples Example 1: Setting up RUM for a new website User request: "setup RUM for my new website" The skill will: 1. Guide the user through selecting a RUM platform. 2. Provide code snippets for implementing basic tracking. Example 2: Tracking custom performance metrics User request: "I want to track how long it takes users to complete a purchase" The skill will: 1. Help define a custom performance metric for purchase completion time. 2. Generate JavaScript code to track the metric. Best Practices Privacy Compliance: Ensure compliance with privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) when collecting user data. Sampling: Implement sampling to reduce data volume and impact on performance. Error Handling: Implement robust error handling to prevent tracking code from breaking the website. …
