Track Smarter, Optimise Faster: Introducing the GENE New Relic RUM Page Type Module
Unlock real insight from your RUM data. Segment Core Web Vitals by page type in New Relic - no hacks, no heavy lifting, just smarter decisions.
Monitoring Core Web Vitals is critical to maintaining a fast, stable, and enjoyable eCommerce experience. But without detailed visibility, Adobe Commerce merchants are often left reacting to high-level averages that don’t tell the full story.
 |  |
That’s why we built the GENE New Relic RUM Page Type Module - a free, open-source extension that adds essential visibility to your existing New Relic setup.
With just a simple installation, this module automatically tags every New Relic RUM event with a Page Type identifier, like:
cms_index_index (homepage)
catalog_product_view (PDPs)
checkout_index_index (checkout)
…and more.
Better data means better decisions
It lets you segment Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) by page type
You’ll finally understand where performance bottlenecks live
Prioritise fixes that move the needle
As Luke Rodgers, our Head of Engineering, puts it:
“It’s a misstep that this isn’t included by default. It won’t replace full tooling like RUMvision, but if you’re already paying for the tool, why not use it?”
We’ve even included a prebuilt New Relic dashboard to get you started.

Install it. Use it. Share it.
