target market ? They can use the manual version of the tool as it is required only
ocassional measurement.
- Portals - one of the key factors to your revenue is the number of page-views your
site produces. If it takes too much time to load your page, visitors will not wait.

frustrated and will not like the site. - For this you can do ocassional measurments but in order to ensure
continous good performance you have to setup regular monitoring of the site.
- Content providers / newspapers Selling advertisements on your site ? - What if
your site is really fast but the advertisement that comes from another site of another
company is a lot slower ? Your visitors will see your site but not the advertisement.
Advertisers will not like it and will leave you. By monitoring the performance of your
web-site you can always be sure that even if such problems occure you'll be the first to
notice them. Early enough to solve the problem before others notice it.

important that thay can buy at your site. So it is not enough any more to once in a while
you measure a single HTML document. You have to monitor the performnace of your shopping
cart and purchase system.
Do you use a third party system that is located on another server ? Are you sure that
their performnce does not have a negative impact on your business ?
