help Cloudflare Observatory FAQ
What does Cloudflare Observatory measure?
Cloudflare Observatory evaluates website and network performance using metrics such as latency, jitter, packet loss, and page timing. Its results can help show whether slow connections are caused by the network path or the website itself.
Does Cloudflare Observatory use real users or synthetic tests?
Cloudflare describes Observatory as combining synthetic tests with real-user browser data. That mix gives both controlled measurements and evidence from actual visitors.
Can Cloudflare Observatory test a website hosted outside Cloudflare?
Its performance tools can analyze a website's behavior and network path even when the site is not using Cloudflare for hosting. The available recommendations and measurements depend on the specific Observatory workflow and domain setup.
What is the difference between latency and jitter in Observatory?
Latency is the time it takes data to travel between a user and a destination. Jitter measures variation in that delay, while packet loss records data packets that fail to arrive.
