help Akamai mPulse FAQ
Does Akamai mPulse use real visitors or synthetic tests?
mPulse is primarily a real user monitoring system, with Akamai's Boomerang JavaScript collecting performance data in actual browsers. It is therefore different from a test that runs only from one fixed lab location. [Akamai mPulse documentation](https://techdocs.akamai.com/mpulse/docs/welcome-to-mpulse)
What does Akamai mPulse measure besides page-load time?
Akamai says mPulse collects more than 200 business and performance metrics, including user behavior, device details, resource timing, and Core Web Vitals. Teams can connect those measurements to outcomes such as conversions or revenue.
Can mPulse monitor single-page apps and API requests?
Yes. Boomerang can monitor XMLHttpRequest and Fetch activity, as well as History API changes used by single-page applications. That helps teams study interactions that do not trigger a full page reload.

How does mPulse connect website speed to business results?
Akamai positions mPulse as a way to map user experience data to business performance, rather than showing speed numbers in isolation. Its documentation also describes historical storage for up to 13 months and dashboards for segmenting results.
