In this blog, we'll walk through a few different snippet insertion methods and available optimizations. Akamai's real user monitoring (RUM) solution,  mPulse , uses a bit of JavaScript code (an mPulse snippet) and the  BoomerangJS  library to collect performance data from a user's Web browser. However, the manner in which this snippet is embedded impacts the quantity of data collected and level of effort involved in managing the solution.  \r\n \r\nThe mPulse snippet can be inserted two ways. It can go into pages served from Akamai using Akamai edge injection. Alternatively, origin tag insertion can be employed. We'll examine the benefits and drawbacks of each method to help you select the best implementation for your setup and measurement needs. \r\n Akamai edge injection \r\n Edge injection offers the most benefits.  Setup and configuration  can take as little as 15 minutes with Property Manager (PM), and Akamai takes care of snippet maintenance.…
