What do waterfall graphs in Dynatrace display?

Waterfall graphs in Dynatrace provide a detailed visualization of requests and resources associated with a specific action or page load. They break down the individual components involved in a transaction, showing how various requests are processed over time. This allows users to identify which resources are loaded, the duration of each request, and how they relate to one another during the loading sequence.

By analyzing waterfall graphs, users can pinpoint performance bottlenecks—for instance, if one resource takes considerably longer to load than others, it can affect the overall user experience. This feature is particularly useful for diagnosing slow-loading pages, enabling teams to optimize their web applications for improved performance.

Other options, while relevant to system monitoring and performance analysis, do not specifically focus on illustrating the sequence and timing of requests and resources during a page load. Therefore, using waterfall graphs effectively aids in understanding the dynamics of frontend performance and user interactions within applications.
