Stop guessing why users bounce and understand exactly how real people experience your application. Site24x7's Real User Monitoring (RUM) captures "last-mile" performance data, tracking Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) from the user's browser or mobile device. By unifying frontend telemetry with backend traces, you can instantly trace JavaScript errors, reproduce bugs via session replay, and eliminate blind spots across all ISPs, devices, and global locations.
Site24x7 RUM works seamlessly across modern web and mobile frameworks. Drop in a lightweight JavaScript snippet and get instant visibility — no additional SDKs required for most platforms.
