New ThousandEyes Research Establishes Internet Performance Benchmark for Top Performing Digital BusinessesThousandEyes, the company providing visibility into the Internet and digital experiences today released the 2019 Digital Experience Performance Benchmark Report, a comparative analysis of web, infrastructure and network performance metrics from the top 20 U.S. digital retail, travel and media websites. This research empowers website operations teams to benchmark their own performance metrics against their competitors and provides recommendations to help guide future performance management, content delivery and network architecture decisions as they aim to deliver the highest quality digital experiences for their customers. Notably, the research also establishes an industry-agnostic 'Internet Performance Bar', setting minimum performance thresholds that any digital company should strive to meet to deliver the best possible end-user experience. "One of the biggest challenges we have in website performance engineering is understanding what 'good' looks like. We lacked an industry-wide, competitive context for our performance," said Mark Rodrigue, Sr. Network Engineer at Room & Board. "The ThousandEyes research finally shines a light on where we stand in relation to our competitors, and gives us hard data we can absolutely use to guide future infrastructure investments in the spirit of delivering the best possible website performance and digital experiences for our customers." The Digital Experience Performance Benchmark Report is the third report in an ongoing series of research produced by ThousandEyes that is intended to help companies gain a data-driven understanding of how various aspects of Internet infrastructure impacts their digital experience delivery. The data for all three reports was gathered using the ThousandEyes platform, which uses active monitoring and global vantage points to measure application layer and network layer performance metrics for any website. The most recent research measured Internet, network, server and experience metrics every 10 minutes for 60 days across 36 major metros across the U.S. In total, over 300M unique measurements were collected and analyzed.
