Percentile report

This report, which is generated after a run completes, shows the 85, 90, and 95 percentile response times of the 10 slowest pages in a run.

The Summary tab of this report has three bars. These bars represent the 85th percentile, 90th percentile, and 95th percentile for all users and for all pages in the run. So, for example, for the 85th percentile bar, 85% of all users saw this response time, or a better response time, than this. For the 90th percentile bar, 90% of all users saw this response time or a better response time. And for the 95% percentile bar, 95% of all users saw this or a better response.

The 85%, 90%, and 95% tabs show the response-time percentiles of the 10 slowest pages in the run. So, for example, if you click the 85th percentile tab, and the Checkout page is 110 (the total is beneath each bar), you know that 85 percent of the responses are less than or equal to 110 ms.

This graph is useful for an overall idea of the response times for each page. For example, a Login page may show up in the Page Performance report as one of the 10 slowest pages. However, it is possible that one page attempt was extremely slow, but the other attempts were within range. The Percentile report shows what pages have slow responses because they were slow in general, not because a few responses (out of many) were extremely slow.

The table beneath the graph supplies more detailed data. For each page, it shows:
