WM100 Benchmark

WM100 - The Web Performance Standard

The WM100 is a performance benchmark based on the average page load times for 100 of the most visited sites on the Internet, as reported by Alexa. It allows you to determine if your site has acceptable page load times. For each site in the WM100, Webmetrics records both the home page HTML load time and the full-page load time (for which download times are inclusive of all images/objects on a page). The 100 pages are monitored every hour from our GlobalWatch Network, and performance comparisons are graphed/reported for monitoring customers. Benchmarks are updated weekly for the general public.

E-Businesses leverage the WM100 to:

• Determine performance standards for web page load times
• Compare site performance in relation to industry leaders
• Gain competitive insight for web and commerce initiatives
• Provide third party validation of site performance in relation to industry standards

The WM100 is updated every hour and is used by Webmetrics' clients as a way to compare their website performance to an industry average. From daily/weekly or web-based performance graphs, Webmetrics' clients can monitor page load times and compare their performance to the WM100 by hour of day, day of week or worldwide cities. In short, the WM100 is a way to validate any particular website's performance.

Compare your site's performance with that of industry leaders.
