Catchpoint this week announced it has acquired Webpagetest.org as part of an effort to expand use of the open source web performance testing service. Led by Patrick Meenan, the Webpagetest service is already relied on by more than 1 million users per month to instantly run tests of websites and applications from various locations, which are surfaced via a detailed audit that can be shared with developers.

Application performance is at the top of that list because both online revenue and employee productivity are now increasingly directly impacted by the overall application experience, said Daoudi.

A zealous appreciation for application performance needs to be ingrained in the culture of the organization for it to ultimately succeed, Daoudi said, noting that every employee, not just the DevOps teams, needs to be aware of the impact application performance has on the business. That challenge is as IT environments become more complex and distributed, ensuring application performance becomes more challenging than ever.
