Compuware Expands Collaboration With Google Page Speed Team to Make the Mobile Web Faster

Nov. 1, 2011 - PRLog -- DETROIT--November 1, 2011--Compuware Corporation , the technology performance company, today announced that it is working with the Google Page Speed team to make it easier for organisations to optimise mobile web application performance through best practices and tools. The Compuware Gomez platform® is now integrated with Google Mobile Page Speed. This is the industry’s first integration with Mobile Page Speed, making it easy for developers and mobile site managers to leverage industry-leading mobile web application performance optimisation best practices.

Compuware has worked with Google since early 2011 on developing ways to help organisations optimise web and mobile applications. The first innovation to come from this relationship was announced this past spring with the Gomez Platform 2011 Spring Release, where Page Speed was integrated with the Compuware Gomez Recorder; this helps businesses optimise their web applications.  In the Gomez Platform 2011 Fall Release announced earlier today, Compuware now integrates the Gomez Recorder and Gomez Cross-Browser Testing solution with Mobile Page Speed to help organisations optimise their mobile applications.

Studies have shown that the majority of mobile web applications are not meeting end-users’ mobile web performance expectations. By integrating with Mobile Page Speed, the Gomez platform is leveraging a proven, established mobile web application performance optimisation tool that provides organisations actionable recommendations on how to improve mobile web application performance. This enables companies to maximise their mobile investments to increase revenues and decrease support costs.

“We built Google Mobile Page Speed to help organisations improve the performance of their mobile web applications,” said Bryan McQuade, Senior Software Engineer and Page Speed Tech Lead at Google. “We’re excited that Compuware has integrated it into their application performance management offering to spread the benefits of Mobile Page Speed to even more users.”

Compuware is delivering the first and only commercial integration with Google Mobile Page Speed to help organizations optimize mobile web application performance. As transactions are played back in the Gomez Recorder, Mobile Page Speed automatically assesses performance against a set of rules, providing a specific score and analysis of the web page. In the Gomez Cross-Browser Testing tool, Google Mobile Page Speed rules and recommendations have been added to the mobile readiness capability, enabling organisations to assess and optimise the performance of their mobile web applications.

“Compuware and Google share a common goal: to make the mobile web faster,” said Bruce Reading, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Compuware’s APM business unit. “Mobile is the future. If mobile web applications don’t perform optimally, not only are users’ experiences compromised, but it impacts the business, putting a company’s revenue at risk. We’re excited to be working with Google to deliver better mobile web application performance best practices to our customers.”

The Gomez platform is the industry’s leading solution for optimising the performance of Web, non-Web, mobile, streaming and cloud applications. Driven by end-user experience, Gomez provides a unified view across the entire application delivery chain, from a user’s browser or mobile device, across the Internet or a corporate WAN, in the cloud, to inside the data centre, eliminating blind spots from the First Mile to the Last Mile.
