Browsers: Problem patterns by type or platform

The Browsers page in browser monitoring provides information about your end users' experience with your app based on which browser they use, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Apple Safari. This page includes:

  • Top browsers by throughput (pages per minute or ppm)
  • Average page load time by platform type (mobile, tablet, desktop)

Drill-down charts also segment the selected browser type by version; for example, Chrome 31, 32, 33, etc. This helps you quickly determine whether problems with page load timing may be related to a specific browser type or platform, or whether the problem is more widespread.

Viewing browsers by type

To view browser information: Go to one.newrelic.com, click Browser > (select an app) > Browsers.

one.newrelic.com > Browser > (select an app) > Browsers > (select a browser type): This example shows a specific browser type selected (Firefox). The largest number of users have version 42.0, so by hiding this label (or any others) in the legend, you can easily examine details about other versions.

Color-coded segments for Average page load time include:

  • Request queuing (black): Wait time between the web server and the application code. Large numbers indicate a busy application server.
  • Web application (purple): Time spent in the application code.
  • Network (brown): The network latency, or time it takes for a request to make a round trip over the Internet.
  • DOM processing (yellow): In the browser, parsing and interpreting the HTML and retrieving assets. Measured by the browser's DOMContentLoaded event.
  • Page rendering (blue): In the browser, displaying the HTML, running in-line JavaScript, and loading images. Measured by the browser's Load event.

Note: For apps that have been deployed using the copy/paste method, browser includes web app and queue time in Network time.
