Are You Optimising Your Storefront for Customers or Test Scripts?

When Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC) powers your revenue, knowing how your storefront performs isn't enough. You need to know how it performs for your customers.

Synthetic monitoring gives you valuable insight into performance under controlled conditions. But your customers don't shop under controlled conditions. They browse across different devices, browsers, networks and regions and their experience can look very different from what a scripted test reports.

On SFCC, the real question is rarely "Was the page slow?" It's "Why?" An API under strain. An integration struggling. A background job backing up.

TCTG Real User Monitoring (RUM) gives you visibility into the performance your customers actually experience, alongside the wider commerce signals that help your team investigate why.

Reality: Your SFCC Storefront Performance Data May Be Missing the Customers Who Matter Most

Synthetic monitoring doesn't tell the whole story

A storefront can perform well under controlled testing while real shoppers experience delays, layout shifts and slow interactions across specific devices, browsers or networks

Performance Issues Quietly Cost Customer Experience and Conversion

Slow interactions, layout shifts and journey friction may not take your storefront offline, but they can still frustrate shoppers and affect conversion before your team knows there is a problem.

Performance data rarely explains the business impact

Knowing your site is slow only tells you so much. Which customers are affected, where they're experiencing friction and what's happening across the wider commerce environment gives your team the context to prioritise what matters most.

TCTG Real User Monitoring: Built Around Real Customers, Not Simulated Tests.

Stop guessing. Start seeing.

Rather than relying solely on simulated journeys, TCTG RUM captures real-user performance data to show:

  • Which devices experience slower performance
  • Which browsers encounter performance issues
  • Which regions experience higher latency
  • Where real customers abandon journeys
  • How Core Web Vitals perform in real-world conditions

Synthetic monitoring helps detect problems proactively. TCTG RUM shows how customers experience your storefront under real-world conditions. TCTG brings both into one connected monitoring environment.

What Are the Benefits of TCTG Real User Monitoring (RUM)?

Real Customer Visibility

See how real shoppers experience your SFCC storefront, helping you identify performance friction across the journeys that matter most

Field-Based Core Web Vitals

Measure Core Web Vitals using field data from real visitors, the same way Google measures them for search ranking

Customer Journey Monitoring

Identify performance friction across critical shopping journeys before it becomes a wider customer experience or conversion problem

Browser & Device Performance

Compare experience across operating systems, browsers and devices to identify issues affecting specific customer segments

Geographic Performance Monitoring

See how storefront performance varies by region and network, separating global issues from localised problems

Faster Root Cause Analysis

Connect customer experience to APIs, integrations, background jobs and platform performance, moving faster from symptom to cause

Evidence for the Roadmap

Replace "the site feels slow" with data your teams can use to prioritise improvements and demonstrate impact

What is Real User Monitoring (RUM) for Salesforce Commerce Cloud?

RUM captures performance data from the sessions of real visitors on your SFCC storefront, rather than from scripted tests. It shows how pages actually load, respond and convert across the real mix of devices, browsers, networks and regions your customers use on one platform

What's the difference between Real User Monitoring and synthetic monitoring?

Synthetic monitoring runs scripted tests from a controlled environment on a fixed schedule, which is ideal for catching regressions and verifying uptime. RUM measures your actual customers in real conditions. Synthetic tells you the site works under ideal conditions; RUM tells you what customers are experiencing right now. Most SFCC teams need both

Why is my SFCC storefront slow for some customers but not in testing?

Because synthetic tests run on fast, consistent infrastructure that doesn't reflect real conditions. A page can pass every test while customers on older devices, slower networks or higher-latency regions experience delays that never appear in a controlled environment. RUM surfaces those customers because their real sessions are in the data

How does TCTG RUM connect customer experience to SFCC platform issues?

TCTG RUM sits in the same platform as your SFCC monitoring: jobs, quotas, APIs, integrations and WAF analytics. So, when a customer session is slow, your team can trace it to the platform signal behind it rather than being left with a symptom and no cause

Why TCTG Real User Monitoring is Different?

One portal. A more complete view of your SFCC Storefront performance

TCTG RUM sits alongside the rest of TCTG Monitoring: site and synthetic monitoring, APIs, services, background jobs, quotas, WAF analytics and Core Web Vitals.

That matters because the performance issue a customer experiences rarely exists in isolation. A slowdown could be connected to a struggling third-party integration, an API under strain or a wider platform issue.

TCTG brings customer-side performance and wider commerce monitoring into one connected environment, giving your team the context to move faster from what happened to investigating why.
