In most cases you can access the Details view by clicking a check wherever it is presented. Depending on the view you are in, the exact method to access the details varies. Whenever you access check Check Details, a bookmark is placed at the top of the window. The results bookmark shows the check url / name:

  • A Page Timeout error happens when the total load time for a single page exceeds the threshold value.

  • Causes

    • The page timeout happens after a page has started loading, but no new events are received, and no other page has started loading.

    • The timeout occurs if a DOM has not been received (page timeout while waiting for DOM Complete event).

    • It can also occur if there is at least one response missing for one of the sent HTTP requests (page timeout while waiting for resources).

    • This means that the page is reachable, but for some reason takes a very long time to load, and there is no transfer to a different page.

  • The default threshold value is 80 seconds.

  • Changing the value

    • The Page Timeout value can be changed from the check configuration. Changing the URL Timeout will affect the Page Timeout value. The URL Timeout value is added to 40 to generate a new Page Timeout value.

Understanding the Waterfall Section for a Browser Check Result

The following diagram explains the different metrics which are displayed in the waterfall for a Browser Check result. These metrics are pulled from the ASM API.

...

Number on Diagram

Metric Name

Description

1

Step Nr

The Step (sometimes Page) number. E.g Step #1, Step #2, Step #n

2

URL number

The identifier of a URL inside of a Step. This is a counter that is unique per Step and corresponds to a URL inside of the Step

3

URL

The complete URL including protocol, hostname, path and query parameters

4

HTTP method

The HTTP method used e.g GET, POST, PUT

5

HTTP status code

The returned status code from the server e.g 200, 302, 500

6

URL Offset ms

The time Offset in milliseconds from when the URL was initiated by the browser relative to the first URL on the Step

7

Blocked duration ms

The time the URL is blocked (aka Queued By Browser) inside of the browser before it is executed, e.g a DNS or Connect is fired

8

DNS lookup duration ms

The time it took to perform a DNS lookup/query and receive the result back

9

Connect duration ms

The time it took to establish a connection to the target system

10

Send duration ms

The time it took to send the Request away from the browser

11

Wait duration ms

The time it took for the target system to return the first response, which is the Response Headers

12

Receive duration ms

The time it took for the complete response to be returned from the target system, including headers + content

13

Response time ms

The total network response time for this URL. (DNS Lookup + Connect + Send + Wait + Receive)

14

Received bytes

The amount of uncompressed bytes received from the server.

15

Content mime type

MIME type of the response content.

16

Blocked url offset ms

The offset of the Blocked timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp)

17

DNS lookup URL offset ms

The offset of the DNS Lookup timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp)

18

Connect URL offset ms

The offset of the Connect timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp)

19

Send URL offset ms

The offset of the Send timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp)

20

Wait offset ms

The offset of the Wait timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp)

21

Receive URL offset ms

The offset of the Receive timing relative from when the URL was started (timestamp)

22

Step duration ms

What the current Step duration is on this url to retrieve the final Step duration, find the MAX(Step Duration ms) among all URLs in this Step.

The following metrics are also pulled from the ASM API for Browser checks, but they are NOT displayed on the waterfall. They are used to present more information on each URL.

Metric Name

Description
