The performance of a Web site
can be monitored in several different ways. The most basic end-user performance
metric comprises the entire time it takes from when a user requests the desired
page until he or she can view that entire page on their Web browser. This time
includes not only the network components such as DNS lookup, initial
connection, and content download, but also any client-side execution of
plug-ins and video, sounds, or animation.
When you measure client-side
execution you need to use a real browser-monitoring product if you want to
capture the complete end-user experience. WhyReal Browsers Matter
This user performance
time also has two distinct versions: performance for a first-time visitor and
performance for a returning visitor. Since returning visitors comprise the vast
majority of traffic to a Web site, understanding which content is being cached
and how the returning user is experiencing the site is critical.
The use of a
real browser allows you to see the browser’s behavior for the returning user
and validate that performance is being optimized for the returning user.

I have heard about this technology but is not completely familiar with it. So many software solutions are available to keep track of user performance and how they actually visits the website. I like the idea of using real browser technology and wanted to explore more about it.
