Understanding slow third party content
This content is affecting our load times but it's not very clear what method is calling the content in our environment. In our case the content is all photos. They show up under 4 different domains. Examples include host1, host1.company.com, host2, host.company.com. Since these are internal domains the information isn't all that informative.
I was able to create a measure and I'm tracking both count and time but we're struggling to track down the source. Any suggestions to help narrow it down?
We're in DT5, IIS7.
Thanks!
Hi
There is an option in the System Profile where you enabled 3rd party content detection to also capture details of the slowest resources. Check if this is enabled or not. It will give you additional information such as the exact images that were slow.
If you want to do deeper diagnostics on these pages that show slow 3rd party I would use our Browser Agent. The Browser Agent is a plugin for IE and FF and gives you full visiblity into what happens in the browser including all network downloads, rendering activites and javascript execution. If you have it installed on your machine you can click through these pages and later analyze the exact download times and impact on page load time of these resources. Find out more about this in the doc: Diagnose Browser Activity or watch the recorded webinar: dynaLearn Webinar - Browser Diagnostics - March 14, 2012

We did have details enabled for slow 3rd party so we do have filenames. They are all sharepoint mysite thumbnails. How would we go about measuring how frequently they take longer than 1 sec to load? I'm using a 3rd party measure but it's not giving the desired results.
They all end in MThumb.jpg.
I installed the browser Agent.
We worked on this during a coaching session. We were never able to get the measure to match what we saw in browser purepaths. For count nor load time.
Any suggestions how to measure? We need this data to provide to Microsoft.
