Features

The Compare10 service, powered by the Global NetWatch measurement platform, allows you to objectively compare your sites performance against 10 other public facing web sites of your choosing - that's right, you build your own comparative peer group!

End User Perspective Measurements: All performance measurements will be taken from the perspective of simulated end users attempting to download the home page URLs in your Compare10 account from 5 US locations of your choosing.

Synchronized Data Collection: Your 5 US locations will measure the performance of every URL in your account simultaneously, and do so 4 times per hour exactly on the quarter hour in synchronization with the US atomic clock. The metrics collection environment is tightly controlled to assure statistical validity at all times.

Actionable Performance Data: Your Compare10 account delivers to you the actionable performance metrics you and your team will need to improve the responsiveness and accessibility of your web site...

A. Server Response Time
B. Initial Connect Time
C. SSL Encryption Time
D. First Packet Received Time
E. Time To Receive Remaining HTML Content Download
F. Percentage Good Checks
G. Total Page Size (HTML content only)
H. Server Throughput
I. Server Rating

Real Time Viewing of Collected Performance Measurements: Your confidential account at http://www.compare10.com will allow you to view collected performance measurements immediately following each 15 minute "check" cycle, so you can always know how your site ranks against your competitive peer group.

Advanced Data Graphing: Performance metrics are presented in both tabular and graphical formats. You can comare your web site performance against the performance of the other URLs in your account. The online tabular displays reveal valuable information about why certain sites perform better than others.
