Every RUM report can be filtered from the bar at the top of the page. These filters are shared across the Dashboard, Pages, Metric Detail and Audience reports, and the report updates instantly as you change them. Clear a filter by pressing the x button next to its name.
Filter by device#
RUM reports shows all devices in aggregate (All option) or separately for Desktop, Tablet, or Mobile. Filtering by device is especially helpful in surfacing often large differences in speed experience observed between Desktop and Mobile sessions.
Filter by dimension#
RUM reports can be filtered by various dimensions:
| Dimension | Description and examples |
|---|---|
| Page Path | Filter by specific page URLs. Example: /pricing, /cart |
| Page Grouping | Filter by custom page groupings. Example: /blog/*, /products/* |
| Navigation Type | Filter by how the user navigated to the page. Example: Navigate, Reload, Back/forward, Back/forward cache, Prerender, Restore, Soft navigation |
| Attributed Element | Filter by specific elements using attribution. Example: hero-image, start-new-search-button |
| Browser | Filter by browser name. Example: Chrome, Safari |
| Browser Version | Filter by specific browser versions. Example: 144, 16 |
| Device Vendor | Filter by device vendor. Example: Apple, Samsung |
| Device Model | Filter by specific device models. Example: iPhone, Moto G |
| Operating System | Filter by operating system name. Example: iOS, Windows |
| Operating System Version ("OS Version") | Filter by specific operating system versions. Example: 10.15 |
| Country | Filter by the country from which the user is accessing the site. Example: Australia, Germany, United Kingdom, Poland |
| City | Filter by the city from which the user is accessing the site. Example: Melbourne, Berlin, Liverpool, Krakow |
Navigation type#
The Navigation Type dimension describes how a user navigated to your page:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| Navigate | A standard page load, such as following a link, entering a URL, or submitting a form. |
| Reload | The page was reloaded, for example with the browser's refresh button or location.reload(). |
| Back/forward | The page was loaded through the browser's history, using the back or forward buttons. |
| Back/forward cache | The page was restored instantly from the browser's back/forward cache (bfcache). |
| Prerender | The page was loaded ahead of time, before the user navigated to it. |
| Restore | The page was restored after the browser restarted, such as reopening a tab from a previous session. |
| Soft navigation | A client-side route change in a single-page app, where JavaScript updates the page and URL without a full page load. |
"Soft navigations" are supported from Chrome 151+, other browsers don’t support soft navigations at the moment.
Filter by URL#
The Real User Monitoring → Pages report can be filtered by URL type (singular or grouped):
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Path | URL of a single page. |
| Page grouping | Group of pages matching a defined URL pattern. |
While filtering by path helps find the best or worst performing pages, filtering by page grouping brings attention to specific groups, such as landing pages, cart pages, blog posts, documentation pages, and so on.
Filter by aggregation#
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| P50 (median) | 50% of session metric measurements fall below the P50 value, and 50% above. |
| P75 | 75% of session metric measurements fall below the P75 value, and 25% above. |
| P95 | 95% of session metric measurements fall below the P95 value, and 5% above. |
| P98 | 98% of session metric measurements fall below the P98 value, and 2% above. |
| Minimum | Minimum collected metric values for selected time period. |
| Maximum | Maximum collected metric values for selected time period. |
P75 aggregation is a good starting point for evaluating how a site is performing. It's often used as a monitoring baseline, including Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) data. If your site passes the Core Web Vitals assessment at P75, we recommend moving the target to P95. At P95, the vast majority of the visitors have a positive user experience (for example: 95 visitors in 100 have a good user experience, while only 5 don’t).
Filter by time period#
RUM reports can be displayed for the following time periods:
| Option | Display |
|---|---|
| Today | Hourly |
| Last 7 days | Daily |
| Last month | Daily |
| Last 3 months | Weekly |
| Last 6 months | Monthly |
| All time | Yearly |
The longer the time period, the easier it is to spot persisting performance trends that might need to be addressed. Shorter time frames can help find newly emerging changes, like after a new release.
To attribute a change to a particular release, segment by deployment on the Metric Detail report.
