Catchpoint announced a new suite of web performance capabilities to its Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) platform. By incorporating WebPageTest’s features, the gold-standard for web performance optimization, into its platform, Catchpoint now offers the most comprehensive view of web performance, covering everything from front-end code to end-user experience including detailed views into the Internet Stack, from thousands of locations around the world, all within a single, enterprise-ready dashboard. WebPageTest has been the trusted tool for web performance experts and top online retailers worldwide. It provides crucial insights to optimize website speed, SEO rankings, user experience, and conversion rates. WebPageTest also offers detailed diagnostics on a page's performance, measuring across all major browsers, device types, and network conditions. Earlier this year, Catchpoint announced the plans to incorporate WebPageTest into its Platform of AI-powered Internet Performance Monitoring solutions which includes Real User Monitoring (RUM), Internet Synthetics, BGP monitoring, SSO, Security, SLO monitoring, and the largest Global Observability Network. Catchpoint’s enterprise customers will now be able to benefit from WebPageTest features such as instant testing with any device, browser, and connection speed, and no-code experiments to test changes on live sites without deploying code. With WebPageTest on Catchpoint’s IPM Platform, there is no need to switch between platforms to address front-end issues. This update optimizes performance by creating a seamless experience for all users in one dedicated platform with data from multiple sources to get the most comprehensive view of performance. Users can start on a free starter plan and grow into a complete enterprise solution.
Key Benefits
Unified IT Alignment: Reduce developer toil by using a single integrated enterprise platform across the IT organization providing data to every team who cares about performance and resilience. Opportunities and Experiments: WebPageTest's Opportunities and Experiments tools help identify ways to improve a website's experience and test the real-world impact of suggested optimizations without changing the site. Improved visibility: Web teams now can enjoy the most accurate view into aspects of the Internet Stack such as CDN performance, DNS latency, ISP routing, jitter, network performance, API response times, cloud and hosting performance, and much more. Facilitated Collaboration: Enable front-end developers, SREs, DevOps, and WebOps teams to work together from a single portal destination. Comprehensive Monitoring: Use the WebPageTest API to identify and fix issues across production, QA, staging, and development environments. Correlated Insights: Combine WebPageTest metrics with real user insights from RUM for a holistic view of website performance and user experience.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
