Abstract

Distributed applications are monitored and page composition metrics are reported in terms of a plurality of phases of a page loading lifecycle. The phases may include first byte received, page rendering time, onload time, post page load time, and other phases. For each phase, data regarding different types of requests may be reported. Data regarding AJAX and iFrame requests may be reported for each phase in a page load, providing more information regarding what is loaded and when. The data may be provided in a graphical ‘cascade’ format based on the phase. Information for AJAX, iFrame and other requests may include the number of such requests occurring in each phase, the average execution time of the requests, and other data. The requests and phases can be determined for multiple types of browsers based on data collection techniques compatible for each particular browser.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for reporting data, comprising:
monitoring an application providing a base page; identifying requests made as part of providing the base page; associating the requests with a particular time period associated with providing the base page; and reporting the requests and time period.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the requests include one or more AJAX requests.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the requests include one or more iFRame requests.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein time period includes a time associated with receiving a first byte of data in response to requesting content page data.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein time period includes a time associated with loading a DOM phase.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein time period includes a time associated with an onload phase.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein time period includes a time associated with an post load phase

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting a child page load initiated by the base page load.

9 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for reporting data, the method comprising:
monitoring an application providing a base page; identifying requests made as part of providing the base page; associating the requests with a particular time period associated with providing the base page; and reporting the requests and time period.

10 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the requests include one or more AJAX requests.

11 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the requests include one or more iFrame requests.

12 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein time period includes a time associated with receiving a first byte of data in response to requesting content page data.

13 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein time period includes a time associated with loading a DOM phase.

14 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein time period includes a time associated with an onload phase.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein time period includes a time associated with an post load phase

16 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , further comprising detecting a child page load initiated by the base page load.

17 . A system for reporting data, comprising:
a server including a memory and a processor; and one or more modules stored in the memory and executed by the processor to monitor an application providing a base page, identify requests made as part of providing the base page, associate the requests with a particular time period associated with providing the base page, and report the requests and time period.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the requests include one or more AJAX requests.

19 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the requests include one or more iFRame requests.

20 . The system of claim 17 , wherein time period includes a time associated with receiving a first byte of data in response to requesting content page data.

21 . The system of claim 17 , wherein time period includes a time associated with loading a DOM phase.

22 . The system of claim 17 , wherein time period includes a time associated with an onload phase.

23 . The system of claim 17 , wherein time period includes a time associated with an post load phase

24 . The system of claim 17 , further comprising detecting a child page load initiated by the base page load.
