Imagine having a single dashboard where you can track both your site’s performance AND all those essential business metrics.
New Relic’s Application Performance Monitoring (APM) makes this a reality.
It’s like having a superpower to see every nook and cranny of your online store.
Diving Deep into the New Relic Platform
New Relic isn’t just a reporting tool—it’s a whole platform! Think of it as a massive database that can handle tons of data even more than Google searches every day! That’s crazy right? This database collects information from all kinds of sources: your browser Synthetics (which is like a super smart test tool) mobile APM and even infrastructure.
It’s like a spy network for your website gathering insights and sending them to your dashboard.
The best part is you don’t need to be a coding wizard to use it.
New Relic’s dashboarding capabilities are so intuitive that even a newbie like me can figure it out (and that’s saying something!).
Customizing Your Dashboard: No More One-Size-Fits-All
Here’s where New Relic really shines—you can customize your dashboard to display exactly the data that matters to you.
Whether you’re obsessed with cart totals order numbers or even those annoying cart abandonment rates you can create a visual representation that’s tailored to your needs.
Think of it as building your own secret lair where all the vital information is laid out perfectly.
You can even track things like Google session IDs giving you a clearer picture of how people are interacting with your store.
Taking it to the Next Level: APM and Synthetics
Now let’s get into the technical stuff—the real meat and potatoes of how New Relic works its magic.
APM: Seeing Under the Hood of Your WooCommerce Store
APM is like a detective who digs into the very core of your WooCommerce store.
It injects itself into your PHP code and keeps an eye on every single call that’s made to and from your application.
This means you can track things like:
- User interactions: See what your customers are doing how long they’re taking and whether they’re encountering any errors.
- Database performance: Monitor how quickly your database is responding.
- Cart totals: See how much money your customers are spending and when they’re adding items to their carts.
- Checkout processes: Get insights into the entire checkout flow from adding products to submitting the order.
Synthetics: Running Smart Tests for Your WooCommerce Store
Synthetics is like a robot shopper who runs tests on your site ensuring everything is working as it should.
It uses a tool called Selenium which is basically a super-powered browser that can navigate your website like a real person.
Here are some cool things you can do with Synthetics:
- Availability testing: This is like a quick check to see if your site is even online. It’s a good way to make sure you’re not missing any potential customers because your site is down.
- SSL certificate expiration: This will alert you when your SSL certificate is about to expire.
- Page Link Crawler: This test will find and report any broken links on your site so you can fix them and prevent customers from getting frustrated.
- Page Load Performance Monitor: This test analyzes your site’s performance letting you know if any images or scripts are slowing things down.
- Step execution (user flow functionality test): This is like a guided tour of your checkout process. It simulates a customer’s actions from signing in to placing an order so you can see if there are any hiccups along the way.
Taking Action with New Relic
Now that you’re armed with all this amazing data what can you do with it? Here are a few ideas:
- Optimize your site: See where things are slowing down and fix them to improve your customers’ experience.
- Boost your conversion rates: Identify any bottlenecks in your checkout process and smooth them out to encourage more sales.
- Diagnose problems quickly: If your site starts experiencing issues use New Relic to quickly pinpoint the source of the problem and fix it before it affects your customers.
- Improve your customer experience: Make sure your site is working flawlessly and your customers will be happier and more likely to buy from you again.
