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.

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
