A single transaction often accesses multiple Web pages. This metric indicates the average amount of time that it would take a Web browser to play each page within a 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
You can set a threshold for this metric so that Enterprise Manager will generate an alert if the slowest page response for a particular transaction exceeds a value you specify when it is run from a specific beacon.
Use this metric to identify problem transactions. After you identify a transaction that is slow to respond to user requests, you can drill down and analyze each phase of the transaction to isolate and repair the problem.
