New Relic, a SaaS web application performance management provider, has joined forces with the Internet Archive to support its new HTTP Archive project, the largest repository of Web performance data monitoring performance data for 1 million of the Internet’s top websites. Web performance leaders including Google, Mozilla, Etsy and others have also joined New Relic in supporting HTTP Archive’s efforts.
“We share a common interest with the HTTP Archive project: to create a faster, better Web experience for everyone who uses the Internet,” says New Relic founder and CEO Lew Cirne. “Understanding application performance is critical to achieving that goal. We believe in providing application and website creators with comprehensive visibility into performance data, so they can build apps that people want to use time and again. The performance data captured by HTTP Archive will prove to be a valuable resource, allowing businesses benchmark their apps against the most popular sites around the world.”
The HTTP Archive is a permanent repository of Web performance information created by Steven Souders in early 2011. When first launched, the HTTP Archive monitored just 20,000 of the top websites. Today, the project will grow to monitor 1 million sites, gathering information such as size of pages, failed requests, and technologies utilized. This performance information highlights trends in how the Web is built and provides a common data set from which to conduct web performance research.
