Pages are slow only for users on mobile networks in one country. Which monitoring is most likely to catch it?

Options

• ✗ Synthetic checks that load the page every minute from three cloud regions
• ✓ Real-user monitoring, which measures page loads in the users' own browsers Correct
• ✗ CPU metrics of the web servers
• ✗ A health check on the load balancer

Why

Synthetic checks run scripted paths from fixed places, so they see only what they were set up to see; they shine at catching an outage when no users are around, such as at night or in a new region. Real-user monitoring sees real devices and networks, but needs traffic and is noisier.
