Abstract
A method for tracking and reporting visitor-side web page loading times over a web site where a web page is stored on a first server coupled to a wide area network. The web page is provided with web page code and data mining code which is uploaded through the wide area network to a visitor computer responsive to a request over the wide area network from the visitor computer. The data mining code is operated on the visitor computer to obtain a begin state at a start of the web page load. A state change is then on the visitor computer to an end state caused by a completed upload of the web page to the visitor computer. The process then proceeds with comparing the begin state and the end state to obtain page loading time data and receiving the page loading time data at a second server.
