An extension of your technical team

At Tribe we understand the way your customers interact with your web infrastructure is not by accessing a single page, a single server or an isolated function, but by fluidly travelling through the site from page to page.

A website is built on multiple layers of HTML, Java Script, AJAX and other building blocks calling for information from servers, databases, content delivery networks, cloud based storage systems and more – at various rates and in multiple request configurations. Today’s dynamic performance testing needs to measure the user’s experience of your unique ‘pick-n-mix’ application of code and functions as they travel across your site to complete their web journey.

One of the highest client support staff to client ratios in the industry

We pride ourselves on being able to provide the best support and service possible, through regular, dedicated communication and in depth understanding of our clients requirements. Tribe offers fully independent performance testing and monitoring services and web performance optimisation consultancy.

Meet your performance needs both now and into the future

When monitoring or testing website performance it is important that the software behaves like a user, not a program. Instead of simply checking the availability of single pages it needs to take the same actions, in the same way, as real users, experiencing your unique combination of code and applications throughout the customer journey.

Together for better digital journeys

Consultancy was a key factor in us selecting to work with Tribe.

Thanks to their experience, they had an in-depth understanding of our tech stack and how our supplier ecosystem operated, as well as how each tech partner integrated into our systems and each other’s.

This meant they could coordinate and brief each supplier on the exact requirements needed for all parties to comply, at the right times, to the testing procedures. This allowed the pre-test and test itself to run smoothly, allowing us to extract the most value and insight needed to enhance site performance.

Jasper McIntosh The Gym Group

“The web is a significant income for our business and Tribe gives us peace of mind. They remove the manual process and leave us free to focus on other activities. Tribe upgrades the system regularly but there is little need to chase for anything – it’s an engine that works well and does an excellent job. Tribe is exceptionally pro-active, quick to respond to queries and issues; and the alerting is spot on and quick. I’d recommend them to anyone.”

P&O Ferries

“Within a week of using Tribe, we had identified that a new ‘share it’ button on certain pages that were a part of new marketing activity was adding an extra 3 seconds to load the page. Once discovered marketing and development worked together to find a better way to implement the function and get the results the business needed, and we regained those 3 seconds for the user.”

“One of the most valuable elements for our teams in Finance and in Service Delivery is the ability to see lost sales. This means we can see the commercial cost of any outage. Tribe is our measure for ensuring that the shop is open 24 hours a day.”
