Real User Monitoring


Real User Monitoring (RUM) collects performance metrics from live sessions on your website and provides insight into user experience and site speed. Using Calibre RUM, you can see how users experience your site, allowing you to quickly identify the biggest performance bottlenecks and make impactful improvements.

Real User Monitoring is part of Calibre’s performance monitoring suite, offered to Starter, Team and Company plans. You can get started by signing up and installing RUM tracking on your website.

Calibre RUM is in early access trial at the moment. If you would like to try it out, please contact us.
