The average amount of time that it would take a Web browser to play each page in the step, step group, or transaction. This is a good metric for setting thresholds because it is the closest active measurement of what the user-experience is likely to be. Because it is normalized on a per-page basis, Perceived Time per Page is also a good metric for comparing the relative performance of different transactions.
User Action
Use this metric to identify problem transactions. After you identify a transaction that's slow to respond to user requests, you can drill down and analyze each phase of the transaction to isolate and repair the problem.
