About

Pingdom is a SaaS website uptime and performance monitoring solution that tracks the availability and user experience of websites and web applications.

It provides uptime checks from over 60 global polling locations, page speed analysis, synthetic transaction monitoring for actions such as logins or checkouts, real user monitoring that measures performance from visitors' browsers, and instant alerts via email or SMS.

The Web Vitals library is a lightweight JavaScript library for measuring Core Web Vitals and related performance metrics on real users in the browser.

It is a modular package of about 2 KB that exposes functions for metrics such as CLS, LCP, INP, FCP, and TTFB, uses the PerformanceObserver API with buffered entries to capture data even after page load, and supports integration with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager.
