Failior Browser RUM: lightweight, real user speed signals and fast triage

What it is and why it matters

Install with a single script tag or an ESM boot. Failior records page views plus LCP, INP, CLS, FCP, and TTFB. Incident sampling is opt-in so you control telemetry and failure grouping. (https://failior.com/docs/)

These metrics are user-facing: LCP, INP, and CLS map to perceived load and responsiveness. Track distributions such as p50 through p99 rather than relying on averages. (https://web.dev/explore/metrics)

Alerting, triage, and correlation

Suggested workflow: alert on a sustained p95 increase for LCP or INP over a 3 to 10 minute window. Use Segments to narrow by browser, geography, or host, then inspect the matching time window.

When backend instrumentation emits graph_id and node lists, you can jump from the frontend symptom to the exact Graph trace and the node that changed. That direct linkage reduces guesswork during triage. (https://failior.com/docs/)

CSP, privacy, and third-party script risk

If you enforce a strict Content Security Policy, allow the Failior script origin and ingest endpoints so the RUM script can load and post telemetry. Configure your CSP to permit the specific hosts used by Failior. (https://failior.com/docs/)

Treat third-party scripts as potential supply-chain risk. Follow CSP reporting and minimal client-side capture to avoid PII. See MDN and OWASP for operational guidance on CSP and script risk management. (https://developer.mozilla.org/, https://owasp.org/)

• Add rum.failior.com to script-src and api.failior.com to connect-src in your CSP.
• Keep incident logging off by default; enable it only to collect shared failing-request groups.
