Editing Akamai instrumentation settings 1

For the system to accurately measure and report page-render time, you must indicate whether Akamai instruments pages for your web applications, by configuring Akamai instrumentation settings.

Pages instrumented by Akamai can experience some delays that pages served by your origin server or another external service do not. To maintain accuracy, the system uses a different algorithm to calculate page-render time for pages instrumented by Akamai.
