Performance Bottleneck: How to assess the Performance of a Widget when accessed from different geographies

Question

I have a Page where in a specific financial widget - which is taking longer times when accessed from a different geography where my Client team is located. Where as for me - it takes less than 2 seconds for them its more than 10 seconds I would like to check and pin point where exactly or which component(network latency or DOM interactive etc) is the cause of the delay.

Thanks in advance. I m using tools like Chrome Tools, Fiddler and Jmeter to evaluate test results. I want to figure out on identifying the bottleneck when accessed the Page from different countries.

Answer 1

You can run JMeter test from different geographic regions, i.e. AWS Free Tier allows you to create micro instances at no cost and in different regions/zones so you can compare the connect time/latency from different geolocations.

Microsoft Azure has similar conditions, free account and $200 USD equivalent to spend on Azure services and provides way more locations

Also there is a possibility to run your JMeter test in distributed mode so one client machine will be in EU, another in US, third one in Australia, etc. so you can compare the metrics
