APM for Commerce Terminology

The following terms are used in Application Performance Management (APM) for Commerce features:

• Action -A step or activity that a user performs on the website. For more information, see APM for Commerce Action Performance.

• Content Display Time (CDT) -The time it takes to update content on a Commerce web page relative to the action the user performs.

  Commerce websites use the Single-Page Application (SPA) model to dynamically update a page when a user interacts with the site. With CDT, you can monitor the time that these interactions take. Use it to identify web addresses or actions that can affect user experience.

  Note:

  CDT is not a measure of the full page load time or the time it takes to load the page from when it is first viewed to when it has finished loading all elements.

• Navigation Types -The methods by which a user loads web pages.

  • Hard Navigation - The user’s initial launch of the web page.

  • Soft Navigation -Any subsequent action the user performed after the initial web page launch.

• Statistical Values -The different computations of metrics available on the charts and tables.

  • Average – Shows the mean value of the metric.

  • Median -Shows the midpoint value of the metric.

  • 95th Percentile -Shows the value that is recorded for the metric 95% of the time. 95% of the recorded values are lesser than this value, and the remaining 5% are greater.

• Views -The number of times users viewed a web page.
