Analyze individual user actions

User action detail pages provide quick access to all relevant user-action data, giving you all the information you need to understand what contributes to the performance of each of your user actions.

To access user action detail pages

Depending on which user action you want to analyze, you can alternatively directly select in the Top user actions section one of the actions shown there.

Once on a user action detail page, select areas of the infographic at the top of the page to navigate to the corresponding section on the page related to each summary metric, or type a string into the Filter user types field to view real-user or synthetic-monitoring specific data.

In the Performance section, you can view the impact of user activity on performance, check out the various performance contributors and see the distribution for your selected performance metric.

Contributors breakdown chart and waterfall analysis

When it comes to analyzing user actions, one of the main questions to address is on which tier is the most response time consumed? Was more time spent on the frontend (mainly in the browser), the network, or the server?

For complete waterfall analysis of individual user actions, select View analysis in waterfall chart to see which resources impact the action duration.
