Running A Page Speed Test: Monitoring vs. Measuring

August 10th, 2023 No comments

This article is a sponsored by DebugBear

There is no shortage of ways to measure the speed of a webpage. The tooling to get a report with details from the time it takes to establish a server connection to the time it takes for the full page to render is out there. In fact, there’s great tooling right under the hood of most browsers in DevTools that can do many things that a tried-and-true service like WebPageTest offers, complete with recommendations for improving specific metrics.

I don’t know about you, but it often feels like I’m missing something when measuring page speed performance. Even with all of the available tools at my disposal, I still find myself reaching for several of them. Certain tools are designed for certain metrics with certain assumptions that produce certain results. So, what I have is a hodgepodge of reports that needs to be collected, combined, and crunched before I have clear picture of what’s going on.

The folks at DebugBear understand this situation all too well, and they were kind enough to give me an account to poke around their site speed and core web vitals reporting features. I’ve had time to work with DebugBear and thought I’d give you a peek at it with some notes on my experience using it to monitor performance. If you’re like me, it’s hard to invest in a tool — particularly a paid one — before seeing how it actually works and fits into my work.

Monitoring vs. Measuring

Before we actually log in and look at reports, I think it’s worth getting a little semantic. The key word here is “monitoring” performance. After using DebugBear, I began realizing that what I’ve been doing all along is “measuring” performance. And the difference between “monitoring” and “measuring” is big.

When I’m measuring performance, I’m only getting a snapshot at a particular time and place. There’s no context about page speed performance before or after that snapshot because it stands alone. Think of it like a single datapoint on a line chart — there are no surrounding points to compare my results to which keeps me asking, Is this a good result or a bad result? That’s the “thing” I’ve been missing in my performance efforts.

There are ways around that, of course. I could capture that data and feed it into a spreadsheet so that I have a record of performance results over time that can be used to spot where performance is improving and, conversely, where it is failing. That seems like a lot of work, even if it adds value. The other issue is that the data I’m getting back is based on lab simulations where I can add throttling, determine the device that’s used, and the network connection, among other simulated conditions.

On that note, it’s worth calling out that there are multiple flavors of network throttling. One is powered by Lighthouse, which observes data by testing on a fast connection and estimates the amount of time it takes to load on different connections. This is the type of network throttling you will find in PageSpeed Insights, and it is the default method in Lighthouse. DebugBear explains this nicely in its blog:

Simulated throttling provides low variability and makes test quick and cheap to run. However, it can also lead to inaccuracies as Lighthouse doesn’t fully replicate all browser features and network behaviors.

In contrast, tools like DebugBear and WebPageTest use more realistic throttling that accurately reflects network round trips on a higher-latency connection.

Real usage data would be better, of course. And we can get that with real-user monitoring (RUM) where a snippet of code on my site collects real data based on from real network conditions coming from real users is sent to a server and parsed for reporting.

That’s where a tool like DebugBear makes a lot of sense. It measures performance on an automated schedule (no more manual runs, but you can still do that with their free tool) and monitors the results by keeping an eye on the historical results (no more isolated data points). And in both cases, I know I’m working with high-quality, realistic data.

From there, DebugBear notifies me when it spots an outlier in the results so I am always in the know.

The DebugBear Dashboard

This is probably what you want to see first, right? All I had to do to set up performance monitoring for a page is provide DebugBear with a URL and data flowed in immediately with subsequent automated tests running on a four-hour basis, which is configurable.

Once that was in place, DebugBear produced a dashboard of results. And kept doing that over time.

You can probably look at that screenshot and see the immediate value of this high-level view of page performance. You get big score numbers, mini charts for a variety of web vital metrics, and a filmstrip of the page rendering with annotations identifying where those metrics sit in the process, among other great pieces of information.

But I’d like to call out a few especially nice affordances that have made my performance efforts easier and, more importantly, more insightful.

Working With Page Speed Data

I’ve learned along the way that there are actually multiple kinds of data used to inform testing assumptions.

One type is called lab data. It, in turn, has its own subset of data types. One is observed data where CPU and network throttling conditions are applied to the test environment before opening the page — “applied throttling” as it were. Another is simulated data which describes the Lighthouse method mentioned earlier where tests are done on a high-powered CPU with a highspeed network connection and then estimates how “fast” a page would load on lower-powered devices. Observed data is the high-quality type of lab data used by tools like DebugBear and WebPageTest. Simulated data, on the other hand, might be convenient and fast, but also can be innacurate.

A second type of data is called real-user data. This is high-quality data from actual website visitors, for example based on Google’s Chrome User Experience (CrUX) Report. The report, released in 2017, provides network data from sessions collected from real Chrome users. This is high-quality data, for sure, but it comes with its own set of limitations. For example, the data is limited to Chrome users who are logged into their Google account, so it’s not completely representative of all users. Plus, the data is aggregated over 28 days, which means it may not be not the freshest data.

Alongside the CrUX report, we also have the RUM approach to data that we discussed earlier. It’s another type of real-user monitoring takes real traffic from your site and sends the information over for extremely accurate results.

So, having both a “real user” score and a “lab” score in DebugBear is sort of like having my cake and eating it.

This way, I can establish a “baseline” set of conditions for DebugBear to use in my automated reports and view them alongside actual user data while keeping a historical record of the results.

Comparing Tests

Notice how I can dig into the data by opening up any test at a specific point in time and compare it to other tests at different points in time.

The fact that I can add any experiment on any page — and as many of them as I need — is just plain awesome. It’s especially great for our team here at Smashing Magazine because different articles use different assets that affect performance, and the ability to compare the same article at different points in time or compare it to other pages is incredibly helpful to see exactly what is weighing down a specific page.

DebugBear’s comparison feature goes beyond mini charts by providing larger charts that evaluate more things than I can possibly print for you here.

Running Page Test Experiments

Sometimes I have an idea to optimize page speed but find I need to deploy the changes to production first so that a reporting tool can re-evaluate the page for me to compare the results. It would be a lot cooler to know whether those changes are effective before hitting production.

That’s what you can do with DebugBear’s Experiments feature — tweak the code of the page being measured and run a test you can compare to other live results.

This is the kind of thing I would definitely expect from a paid service. It really differentiates DebugBear from something like a standard Lighthouse report, giving me more control as well as tools to help me gain deeper insights into my work.

Everything In One Place

Having all of my reports in a central one-stop shop is worth the price of admission alone. I can’t stand the clutter of having multiple windows open to get the information I need. With DebugBear, I have everything that a mish-mash of DevTools, WebPageTest, and other tools provides, but in one interface that is as clean as it gets. There’s no hunting around trying to remember which window has my TTFB score for one experiment or which has the filmstrip of another experiment I need.

But what you might not expect is a set of actionable recommendations to improve page speed performance right within reach.

Let me be clear that I am no performance expert. There are plenty of situations where I don’t know what I don’t know, and performance is one of them. Performance can easily be a profession and full-time job by itself, just as design, accessibility, and other specializations. So, having a list of things I can do to improve performance is incredibly helpful for me. It’s like having a performance consultant in the room giving me directions.

Wrapping Up

Again, this is merely a peek at some of the things that DebugBear can do and what I enjoy about it. The fact is that it does so many things that I’ve either glossed over or simply lack the space to show you.

The best thing you can do is create a free DebugBear account and play around with it yourself. Seriously, there’s no credit card required. You set up a username and password, then it’s off to the races.

And when (not if!) you get your account, I’d love to know what stands out to you. Performance means a lot of things to different people and we all have our ways of approaching it. I’m keen to know how you would use a suite of features like this in your own work.

What is Data Parsing, and How It Is Used?

August 10th, 2023 No comments

In our fast-paced world filled with bulks of data and information, it’s easy to feel lost in the volume. But fear not because data parsing is here to save the day!

Data parsing can be your trusty guide that helps make sense of all that overwhelming data clutter. In this blog, we’re diving into the world of data parsing – what is data parsing, how it works, and why it’s like a genie for understanding the meanings hidden within raw data.

So, buckle up and scroll down to learn everything about data parsing!

Defining Data Parsing

Let’s start by understanding what data parsing truly entails. Data parsing definition calls it a process of breaking down complex and unstructured data into smaller, more manageable parts for analysis. 

In the digital setup, data parsing involves extracting relevant information from various sources, such as text documents, websites, or databases, and transforming it into a structured format that can be quickly processed and interpreted.

The Essence of Data Parsing

When you are working, you might be dealing with vast spreadsheets containing a mix of names, dates, and quantities, all jumbled together. Data parsing would involve systematically segregating each type of information into distinct columns, allowing you to organize, sort, and analyze the data more effectively.

By breaking down the information into its constituent parts, data parsing helps transform a bulk of undifferentiated data into a coherent and understandable format.

Applications of Data Parsing: A Multifaceted Tool

Data parsing finds its applications across various domains, each harnessing its power to achieve specific goals. Here are a few notable applications:

Text Analysis

Data parsing plays a pivotal role in extracting insights from textual data. It can identify and categorize specific keywords, phrases, or patterns within a large text corpus. This is particularly valuable for sentiment analysis, content categorization, and trend identification.

Web Scraping

Extracting data from websites is a prime example of data parsing in action. By parsing the HTML structure of a webpage, relevant information such as product details, prices, or news articles can be extracted and utilized for various purposes.

Log Analysis

In IT and cybersecurity, log files contain a wealth of information about system activities. Data parsing can help decipher these logs, identifying anomalies, patterns, and security breaches.

Financial Data Processing

Parsing financial data, such as stock prices, transaction records, and market trends, allows you to make informed decisions in finance and investment.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

NLP techniques often involve data parsing to break down sentences into grammatical components, enabling machines to understand and respond to human language more effectively.

The Mechanism of Data Parsing: How Does It Work?

Didn’t you love to do puzzles when you were a kid? You can take data parsing as a skillful puzzle solver that assembles scattered pieces into a coherent picture. 

Let’s delve deeper into the mechanics of data parsing, step by step, and shed light on how the introduction of Smart Proxy magnifies its significance by ensuring robust data security and safeguarding data privacy.

Step 1: Tokenization – Breaking It Down

At the beginning of data parsing lies the first step: tokenization. It’s like breaking down a complex problem into smaller, manageable parts. 

Similarly, tokenization involves dissecting raw data into smaller units called tokens. Depending on the data type, these tokens can be words, characters, or even symbols. Tokenization serves as the foundation for further analysis and understanding.

Step 2: Pattern Recognition 

With tokens in hand, the process moves to pattern recognition. Like identifying recurring themes in a story, pattern recognition algorithms detect consistent structures within the tokens. 

For instance, in textual data, patterns could be sentences or paragraphs. In web data, patterns might include HTML tags or attributes. This step is about recognizing the framework that gives the data its meaning.

Step 3: Extraction 

Once patterns are recognized, data extraction comes into play. This is like mining for valuable gems within a vast mine. Algorithms sift through the recognized patterns and extract specific information. 

For instance, extraction could involve identifying dates, names, or monetary figures from a text document. It’s all about retrieving the valuable nuggets hidden within the data.

Step 4: Transformation 

Following extraction, the transformation phase commences. You can take it as a process of refining rough diamonds into sparkling jewels. 

Similarly, data transformation involves refining the extracted data to ensure consistency and accuracy. This might involve converting data into a standardized format, eliminating redundancies, or applying necessary formatting. The goal is to prepare the data for meaningful analysis.

Step 5: Synthesis – Putting It All Together

The parsed data is synthesized and organized into a coherent structure in the synthesis phase. The parsed data is arranged logically, allowing for easy interpretation and analysis. This step involves categorizing data, grouping related elements, and arranging them systematically.

Step 6: Analysis and Insights – Discovering the Story

The culmination of data parsing lies in the analysis and gaining actionable insights. This phase provides the opportunity to conclude, make informed decisions, and gain a deeper understanding of the underlying story that the data tells.

Smart Proxy: Elevating Data Parsing with Security and Privacy

Now, let’s introduce the concept of Smart Proxy to this narrative. Smart Proxy goes beyond enhancing data security and privacy; it acts as a vigilant guardian throughout the data parsing journey.

Smart Proxy ensures secure data exchange, safeguards sensitive information, and adds an extra layer of assurance to the entire process. By prioritizing data security and privacy, Smart Proxy contributes to the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of the parsed data, fostering trust and confidence in the insights derived from the information.

In Conclusion: The Art of Data Parsing Unveiled

As we conclude our exploration of data parsing, we’ve delved into the intricate steps that lead to transforming raw data into actionable insights. Each phase of data parsing plays a crucial role in deciphering the language of data and unveiling its underlying narrative. 

With Smart Proxy as a steadfast companion, the data parsing journey becomes even more robust, secure, and reliable. This powerful combination empowers you and your organization to confidently extract valuable insights while ensuring the utmost protection of sensitive information. 

So, as you embark on your own data parsing endeavors, remember that this process is not just about unraveling data; it’s about deciphering the stories that data holds, ultimately guiding you toward informed decisions and meaningful discoveries.
