Synthetic monitoring automatically records all ping monitor checks, allowing you to see the load time and response size for every run.
Use the explorer and the selected ping monitor's Summary and Results pages to:
- Select a resource to view load timing, response and request headers, and other details.
- Use these details to find problems and diagnose performance issues.
Tip

Timing details
For some monitor types, the overall monitor check duration will be larger than the individual page request durations. This is because some browser behaviors are not measured individually but still count towards the total check time.
Examples of unmeasured behaviors include:
- JavaScript interactions
- Resource pre-fetching and prioritization
- DNS pre-resolve
- TCP pre-connect
- Page pre-rendering
