Can LoadComplete measure client side responsiveness?

Can LoadComplete be used for measuring performance metrics on the client side? I mean performance metrics which include times when images are actually displayed on screen (in the browser). Including (simulated) latency on the network, packetloss, etc, limited bandwiths etc?

        Hi Mathijs,

         

        AlertSite measures client-side load time, including time to first byte, content download time, first paint and other metrics. Here's a full list of metrics:

        https://support.smartbear.com/alertsite/docs/monitors/metrics/web-page-load-time.html

         

        Loading process can be visualized as a waterfall chart (similar to the one in browser dev tools).

         

        You'll need to use monitor type = real-browser (DejaClick) to get results like this.

         

        Most AlertSite locations use broadband connection, some locations use 3G and 4G.
