Summary

HTTP Performance Insights is a new feature in Grafana Cloud Frontend Observability designed to enhance application performance by analyzing HTTP requests. It provides detailed insights into request quality and bottlenecks, allowing frontend engineers to proactively identify and resolve performance issues before they impact user experience. The tool offers a rich interface with health indicators, trend analysis, and sortable tables to pinpoint slow endpoints and error-prone calls, facilitating efficient troubleshooting. By enabling request-level granularity, it aids in precise analysis of problematic endpoints, helping correlate performance with user sessions or geographic regions. Available in public preview, the feature requires no additional instrumentation and integrates seamlessly with existing HTTP data, representing the initial phase of a broader performance intelligence platform. Future enhancements aim to include page performance insights and resource loading intelligence for a comprehensive performance analysis suite.
