How to Navigate the RUM Aggregate Waterfall Page

Domain Level Detail

The first thing on this page is the Domain Level Activity Waterfall. This graph is formatted as a waterfall, depicting the amount of time each domain was loading on average during the time period.

You can also view this data in a table format by toggling the graph and table icons on the right hand side. In the table view you will see % Impact, % of Onload Activity, Impact Score, and Tag Quality.

This is the breakdown for the Impact score: 

• 50% < frown face
• 10-15% < neutral face < 50%
• Smile face < 10-15%

In the table view, you are able to open an expanded graph view of that domains timings over time through the icon on the left side of the table.

Resource Timings by File Table

At the bottom of the page is a table breaking down the resource timings by file. Here we can see which domain each resource belongs to, how many times this resource was observed (or element count), and more timing information.

Running Comparisons

Back at the top of the page, there is a “Run Comparison” button. This allows you to compare two different waterfalls using the filter options in the menu. To do this, click the button and change the desired filter options for comparison which will be comparing against the data already on the page.

Once filtering selections are ready, click Apply Filters for Comparison. The comparison graph will load to the right. We also see a summary in the middle showing What’s Changed. 

Below are two tables, one showing the duration for each item and the other showing the element count for each item. Toggle these tables with the button indicated in the screenshot below.
