Cloudflare publishes Observatory, a website testing tool, to improve website security and performance with one click
CTOnews.com, June 22, Cloudflare recently launched a website security and performance evaluation tool Observatory, which can monitor the behavior of third-party users when they visit the site, so that webmasters can master the security and performance of the site.
▲ Observatory tool screenshot, the source CloudflareCloudflare quoted Google data as saying that even if the loading time is reduced by one second, the mobile conversion rate can be increased by as much as 27%. Therefore, Observatory tool can provide a series of "necessary assistance". For example, when a web page is found to be optimized, it will provide a series of suggestions that users can use with one click of the mouse to improve the security and performance of the website.
According to the screenshot of the ▲ Observatory tool, the source CloudflareCloudflare said that the design goal of the Observatory tool is to enable the webmaster to have a more complete grasp of the website, so at the design level, the tool is to evaluate and analyze the website by collecting the behavior of real users when they visit the website, and show the webmaster ways to solve the performance problem. In addition, Observatory also integrates the web page automated detection tool Google Lighthouse tool, which can comprehensively evaluate the performance level of web pages according to industry standards.
In a screenshot of the ▲ Observatory tool, the source CloudflareCTOnews.com noted that the Observatory tool mainly provides two testing methods, one is "comprehensive testing", and the other is "monitoring third-party behavior data analysis (RUM)". Comprehensive testing simulates user interactions to monitor performance in a controlled environment, which can identify potential problems before the site is deployed, while RUM tests collect relevant information directly when real users interact with the site and provide a view of the site from the perspective of real third-party users.
