Jul 23, 2019 — Change to CDN Edge Time Calculations

Effective July 23, 2019, mPulse’s CDN Edge Time calculations, such as All Asset CDN Edge Time, are calculated differently.

Prior to this change, Edge Time calculations rounded down. For example, 0.1 ms was rounded down to 0 ms. Now, Edge Time calculations round up. For example, 0.1 ms will round up to 1 ms. This affects mPulse as data with the value of “0” is not included in charts, tables, or median calculations. Sites with many Edge Times rounding down to 0 ms would have had those data points excluded, which skews reporting by only including data with a value over 0.5 ms.

Prior to this change, if you had many reported 0 ms Edge Times, you might see a reduction in their median Edge Times going forward, since the faster data points will now be included as 1 ms.
