Real user monitoring vs. synthetic monitoring: Understanding best practices

Dynatrace

Data collected on page load events, for example, can include navigation start (when performance begins to be measured), request start (right before the user makes a request from the server), and speed index metrics (measure page load speed). For example, the ability to test against a wireless provider in a remote area.

Using just a few (but still more than one), however, could nicely balance congestion growth with better performance, especially on high-speed networks.
