Boost conversions and SEO with website performance monitoring

Marketing websites are the primary gateway for businesses to attract new customers, so performance is crucial. But slow pages, broken links, and site errors pose significant risks. Unfortunately, many marketing teams operate with tight budgets and limited technical resources, making it challenging to stay ahead of these technical issues. This leaves visitors, customers, and potential customers with a poor experience.

Introducing New Relic website performance monitoring

New Relic website performance monitoring is an innovative free tool that simplifies the task of monitoring your website's speed and reliability, all without the need for a complex engineering setup.

Unlike traditional page checkers and graders that provide a single snapshot in time, website performance monitoring offers continuous performance tracking across multiple pages. This means you can now proactively identify and address issues before they impact revenue. With timely alerts for outages and visibility into areas for improvement, you can answer the crucial question: "How's my website doing right now?"

Most websites fail this important test

The bad news: Your website may be experiencing issues that are impacting your revenue and traffic without your knowledge.

Studies show that fast-loading sites have up to 3X better conversion rates compared to slow-loading sites. Shockingly, a significant portion of websites (59% of desktop sites and 68% of mobile sites) fail to meet Google core web vitals, which are essential for assessing overall user experience and influence SEO rankings. Consequently, poorly performing sites not only attract less traffic but also lose potential business due to frustrated users bouncing away.

The good news: You now have the ability to monitor your site's performance and take measures to address low scores for core web vitals. By optimizing your website's user experience, you can increase both traffic and conversions.

Don’t waste your time with one-time checks

Growth marketers know that website SEO and conversion rates depend on speed and reliability. Yet it can be tedious to follow a manual process to generate and save Google Lighthouse results and then compare them against previous months. This is especially true if you’re also checking competitors' sites to keep an eye on them—and maybe even checking at multiple times of day to see metric fluctuations. 

It’s time-consuming and impractical to repeat this manually every single time,  with no way to tell if you’ve already lost revenue to poor site performance.

That’s why New Relic built website performance monitoring with continuously streaming performance data. It shows you just what you need to ensure your web engineering team, demand gen team, and lifecycle marketing teams can drive results.

With continuous website performance monitoring and alerting, you can keep your website fast and error-free to improve user experience and customer funnel conversion.

Here are a few use cases to make the most of this free tool:
