Speedy sites attract more users and revenue. The New Relic website performance monitoring tool allows you to track the performance of your (or anyone else’s) website without manual setup. By simply entering a URL, you get a dashboard to continuously monitor key performance metrics that search engines care about, such as Google Core Web Vitals. This data can be used to identify and fix performance issues, improve the user experience, and benchmark with other web pages. 

Built-in capabilities include:

- Historical and ongoing reporting, unlike other one-off manual site checkers.
- Automated alerts for page down and broken links.
- Scheduled website checks, as often as you need.
- Recommendations for best practices and how to troubleshoot issues.

##Track conversions, campaigns, and launches

Logs unlock a deeper level of analysis, allowing you to track the performance of your marketing campaigns. With this data, you can get a near-real-time view of every user interaction on your website. That means you’ll be able to answer questions like:

- Which campaigns are driving results?
- Which sources and mediums are working best?
- Who are my top referrals and lead sources?

As a result, you make better decisions on where to spend your marketing dollars. 

More importantly, unlike with other tools, you no longer have to wait hours or even days to find out that something is broken. You can proactively steer your business in the right direction.

The health and performance of your servers and hosts are critical for a great customer experience. New Relic provides visibility into the backend by tracking metrics such as throughput, web transactions, and errors. This data can be used to identify and fix performance issues, prevent bot attacks, and ensure that your website is always up and running.
