Synthetic User Flow Monitoring

Monitor the steps your customers take, not just your landing page.

Track page speed and interaction delays across the whole flow.

Monitor what your customers actually do

Test a whole flow, not one URL

Search, sign in, add to cart, check out. DebugBear runs the steps in a real browser on a schedule and reports how long each one took.

Set it up without writing code

Click through the actions you want to monitor, or describe the flow and let AI build it for you. Test the flow as you go to check it does what you meant.

Reuse the steps you've already written

A set of actions can be shared between monitors, so a login written once is a login everywhere.

Also called transaction monitoring

Transaction monitoring and user journey monitoring describe the same thing: a series of steps run in a real browser on a schedule, measured end to end. DebugBear calls them user flows.

See where the time goes, step by step

Every step on one timeline

Clicks, navigations, paint milestones and layout shifts, in the order they happened, each timed from the start of the flow.

Open any step for the detail

Expand a step to get the request waterfall, the CPU work and the rendering progress for that page alone, rather than for the run as a whole.

Measure interactions, not just page loads

An INP score for every click

Interaction to Next Paint is a Core Web Vital, and it's the one a page test can't measure. A flow clicks through your site, so every interaction gets a score.

Find out what made it slow

See the element that was clicked, the CPU tasks that ran, and how the delay splits between processing and presentation.

Single-page app navigations too

A route change that never reloads the page is still recorded as its own navigation, with its own Core Web Vitals.

Watch each page of the flow over time

One line per page

Every page in the flow is tracked separately, so a checkout that got slower last Tuesday is obvious rather than averaged away.

Flow-wide or page by page

Load time metrics are averaged across the flow and totals like page weight are summed. Select a single page to see only its numbers.
