[HTTP Transaction] Connect Time (ms)

Enterprise Manager breaks down each transaction into individual phases. Performance metrics for each phase of the transaction can help you pinpoint the cause of a slow response time alert. Connect Time is the total time spent in the transaction connecting to the server. There may be multiple connections made during a transaction. Time spend connecting for requests that result in redirects count as Redirect Time rather than Connect Time.

User Action

Significant Connect Time values are usually caused by a slow network or a busy Web server. Significant Connect Time values may also indicate that there are too many connections made during the transaction. Consider enabling HTTP persistent connections if the application does not already have them enabled.
