New Relic Offers Free Real User Monitoring

New Relic has added Real User Monitoring to its core SaaS Application Performance Management offering. Effective immediately, all New Relic users will have free access to the new capability.

New Relic Real User Monitoring measures key front-end metrics from the moment a user request is initiated in the app, to the final loading of the resulting web page. It is one of the first commercial implementations of technology built on the Episodes framework for measuring web page load times developed by Steve Souders, the author of High Performance Web Sites.

For each page request, New Relic captures network time, time in the application itself, and time spent rendering the web page. It also tracks the type and version of browser, operating system and geographic location of the user.

Development and operations teams can now gain valuable, real-time insight into browser response time and measure user satisfaction from both the end-user and application perspectives, as well as determine if performance bottlenecks are located in the front-end, the application, or connected systems.

New Relic Real User Monitoring is fully integrated with New Relic’s existing application performance management technology, offering a complete view of application performance in a single user interface that is easy to understand and use.

UK IT leaders are reaching a critical inflection point in how they manage observability, according to research from LogicMonitor. As infrastructure complexity grows and AI adoption accelerates, fragmented monitoring environments are driving organizations to rethink their operational strategies and consolidate tools ...

For years, many infrastructure teams treated the edge as a deployment variation. It was seen as the same cloud model, only stretched outward: more devices, more gateways, more locations and a little more latency. That assumption is proving costly. The edge is not just another place to run workloads. It is a fundamentally different operating condition ...

AI can't fix broken data. CIOs who modernize revenue data governance unlock predictable growth-those who don't risk millions in failed AI investments. For decades, CIOs kept the lights on. Revenue was someone else's problem, owned by sales, led by the CRO, measured by finance. Those days are behind us ...

Over the past few years, organizations have made enormous strides in enabling remote and hybrid work. But the foundational technologies powering today's digital workplace were never designed for the volume, velocity, and complexity that is coming next. By 2026 and beyond, three forces — 5G, the metaverse, and edge AI — will fundamentally reshape how people connect, collaborate, and access enterprise resources ... The businesses that begin preparing now will gain a competitive head start. Those that wait will find themselves trying to secure environments that have already outgrown their architecture ...

Ask where enterprise AI is making its most decisive impact, and the answer might surprise you: not marketing, not finance, not customer experience. It's IT. Across three years of industry research conducted by Digitate, one constant holds true is that IT is both the testing ground and the proving ground for enterprise AI. Last year, that position only strengthened ...

A payment gateway fails at 2 AM. Thousands of transactions hang in limbo. Post-mortems reveal failures cascading across dozens of services, each technically sound in isolation. The diagnosis takes hours. The fix requires coordinated deployments across teams ...

Every enterprise technology conversation right now circles back to AI agents. And for once, the excitement isn't running too far ahead of reality. According to a Zapier survey of over 500 enterprise leaders, 72% of enterprises are already using or testing AI agents, and 84% plan to increase their investment over the next 12 months. Those numbers are big. But they also raise a question that doesn't get asked enough: what exactly are companies doing with these agents, and are they actually getting value from them? ...

Many organizations still rely on reactive availability models, taking action only after an outage occurs. However, as applications become more complex, this approach often leads to delayed detection, prolonged disruption, and incomplete recovery. Monitoring is evolving from a basic operational function into a foundational capability for sustaining availability in modern environments ...

The financial stakes of extended service disruption has made operational resilience a top priority, according to 2026 State of AI-First Operations Report, a report from PagerDuty.
