Mostly real browser synthetic monitoring from 24 locations. Obviously that's not exactly real world (since those servers are in a datacenter), but it's reasonable close.

I also use Nuevo Cloud (and have used other CDNs) on one of my ecommerce websites that gets a couple thousand people/day. So there's google anayltics timing stats, but those aren't the most accurate.

Of course, this is very different than the performance monitoring that's done for Nuevo Cloud. It's much easier when you have access to the actual servers to track performance stats and work to improve those (compared to trying to compare real world performance versus another CDN).

Actually this is not a good test. Synthetic monitors live in data centers and you are testing the performance from one data center to another. You need RUM.

Yes, I completely agree it's not the best test. Real user monitoring would be much better.
