Website performance monitoring is two jobs sharing a name. Delivery timings belong on a pager, Core Web Vitals belong on a dashboard. Here is the split.
Website monitoring done in the right order: four checks, a 60-second interval, two regions and a confirmation rule, then a week of tuning before you expand.
An uptime percentage is a sample, not a recording, and its precision is bounded by your check interval. Here is the arithmetic and why two tools disagree.
Real user monitoring times pages inside visitors' browsers. Here is what those APIs report, how much of it never arrives, and why it cannot detect an outage.
Apdex folds response times into one number from 0 to 1 by grading each sample against a threshold you choose, and that threshold is the whole decision.
Response time monitoring works when you read the timing waterfall, alert on p95 instead of the mean, and compare probe regions rather than blending them.
