Catchpoint announced the launch of RUM Session Replay, a new capability that gives WebOps and IT Operations a user’s-eye view of web experiences, turning every session into actionable insight for preventing issues before they spread.
This new capability is part of Catchpoint’s web performance and optimization portfolio and is immediately available to all WebPageTest Expert customers at no additional cost. By combining best of breed synthetic testing with real user experience data, organizations can move beyond uptime metrics to achieve true digital performance optimization.
Session Replay provides developers and site reliability engineers with video playback of real user sessions, including clicks, scrolls, form entries, and DOM changes. This level of visibility eliminates guesswork and makes it easier to reproduce and resolve tricky front-end bugs or performance issues far faster than with traditional diagnostic methods. By connecting these interactions with frustration signals, such as rage clicks, quick backs, and bounces, teams can debug faster, reduce abandonment, and improve customer satisfaction.
Catchpoint’s advantage lies in delivering session replay natively within its IPM platform, alongside Real User Monitoring (RUM), advanced synthetics, BGP monitoring, and distributed tracing, providing a single consolidated solution for end-to-end digital experience management.
Designed with developers and site reliability engineers in mind, Session Replay puts full visibility into the user journey directly at their fingertips.
Session Replay features
- Session Replay with Waterfall Correlation: Watch full video playback of user journeys (Every click, scroll, input, DOM changes) directly alongside waterfalls for context-rich debugging.
- Efficient Root Cause Analysis: Quickly find relevant sessions with event timelines, search, and filters.
- Frustration & Behavior Insights: Detect rage clicks, dead clicks, quick backs, and bounces to identify UX pain points.
- Included with Expert Plan: Available to all WebPageTest Expert customers as part of the plan at no additional cost.
“Web teams need to detect and understand digital user experience issues to protect not only revenue but their reputation as well,” says Mehdi Daoudi CEO & Founder Catchpoint. “Oftentimes, performance metrics don't give you the full picture. With Session Replay in their IPM arsenal, our customers are better equipped to protect their customer's trust and the reputation they have built over the years."
Matt Izzo, Chief Product Officer at Catchpoint added, “Developers often say that debugging front-end issues without context is like working blindfolded. We set out to change that. With Session Replay, we’re giving teams a crystal-clear view of the user journey, integrated directly with the rest of their Internet stack.”
Catchpoint will continue to expand its RUM Session Replay capabilities, with support for mobile applications on the roadmap.

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 ...

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.
