Summary

Dynatrace has expanded its support for Google's Core Web Vitals metrics, now integrating these crucial performance indicators into its Real User Monitoring (RUM) and Synthetic Monitoring tools with version 1.210. These metrics—Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and First Input Delay (FID)—are vital for optimizing user experience and search ranking, as Google prioritizes them in its algorithms. While Google's Search Console provides a starting point for identifying performance issues, Dynatrace offers deeper insights by combining these metrics with detailed contextual information from both front-end and back-end application data. This integration allows businesses to not only monitor but also proactively address performance issues, utilizing the Dynatrace Davis AI causation engine to pinpoint root causes. Additionally, Dynatrace has introduced features such as custom alerts, dashboards, and automatic long-term data capture for Web Vitals, thereby enhancing the ability to maintain optimal application performance.
