1. A computer-based method, the method comprising:
- accessing by a computer a user defined selection of a set of key components of a web page that has a plurality of components, with each component including one or more displayable objects visually perceptible as a unit, the set of key components having a total number of key components and being a proper subset of the plurality of components of the web page, which corresponds to at least one but not all of the plurality of components of the web page;
sending to a user computer device by the computer via a communication network, the plurality of components of the web page, with sending being in response to a request for the web page;
measuring, by one or more computers, a performance value for each of the key components of the web page sent to the user;
comparing, by the one or more computers, the measured performance value for each of the key components to a corresponding target performance value for each of the key components;
determining, by the one or more computers, a number of the key components having acceptable performance values that are values less than or equal to the target performance value for the respective component;
differentially weighting one or more key components of the proper subset based on a number of customers accessing the web page at a particular time; and
generating, by the one or more computers, a weighted customer service level value based on the number of key components having acceptable performance values, the differential weighting of the one or more key components, and the total number of key components in the web page.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for measuring how well interactive components of a service facility that are accessible to users through a communication network perform in serving users, the interactive components being a proper subset of all of the interactive components of the service facility, and using the results of the measuring to evaluate the performance of the service facility with respect to a target performance.

8. A computer program product, tangibly stored on a computer readable hardware storage device, the computer program product comprising instructions to cause a data processing apparatus to:
-
access a user defined selection of a set of key components of a web page that has a plurality of components, with each component including one or more displayable objects visually perceptible as a unit, the set of key components having a total number of key components and being a proper subset of the plurality of components of the web page that corresponds to at least one but not all of the plurality of components of the web page; send to a user computer device via a communication network, the plurality of components of the web page in response to a request for the web page; measure a performance value for each of the key components of the web page sent to the user; compare the measured performance value for each of the key components to a corresponding target performance value for each of the key components; determine a number of the key components having acceptable performance values that are values less than or equal to the target performance value for the respective component; differentially weight one or more key components of the proper subset based on a number of customers accessing the web page at a particular time; and generate a weighted customer service level value based on the number of key components having acceptable performance values, the differential weighting of the one or more key components, and the total number of key components in the web page. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer system comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer readable storage medium, storing a computer program product comprising instructions for causing the processor to; access a user defined selection of a set of key components of a web page that has a plurality of components, with each component including one or more displayable objects visually perceptible as a unit, the set of key components having a total number of key components and being a proper subset of the plurality of components of the web page that corresponds to at least one but not all of the plurality of components of the web page; send to a user computer device via a communication network, the plurality of components of the web page in response to a request for the web page; a performance value for each of the key components of the web page sent to the user; compare the measured performance value for each of the key components to a corresponding target performance value for each of the key components; determine a number of the key components having acceptable performance values that are values less than or equal to the target performance value for the respective component; differentially weight one or more key components of the proper subset based on a number of customers accessing the web page at a particular time; and generate a weighted customer service level value based on the number of key components having acceptable performance values, the differential weighting of the one or more key components, and the total number of key components in the web page. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
