Anonymous: Hi Statsig team. We’re considering trying session replay ahead of a high-importance campaign that kicks off on Monday. We’re wondering whether you have any stats on the effects it has on page load time and other performance metrics? P.S. It was great to meet Marcos Arribas at the A/B Talks: London in June!
Vijaye (Statsig): Each website that includes the session replay script will have a slightly different performance profile. We have tuned the performance to make it extremely lightweight. The initial payload is small, however there will be some hit because of the JavaScript hooks and the egress from the page. We have it on our marketing page and haven’t noticed a perceptible hit to performance.
Anonymous: Thank you, Vijaye, that’s helpful.
Vijaye (Statsig): Thanks for checking us out - here to help if you have more questions.
Anonymous: Thanks a lot. I enjoyed the Statsig socks from the London A/B event. If we had 1000 visitors in a few minutes, would users be affected in any way different to if there was 1 visitor?
Vijaye (Statsig): No. The number of visitors wouldn’t affect this script.
