   - Alert on regression thresholds
   - Track performance trends

3. **Resource Usage Monitoring**
   - Monitor CPU time usage
   - Track memory consumption
   - Monitor bundle size growth
   - Analyze network bandwidth

4. **User Experience Metrics**
   - Track Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS)
   - Monitor Time to First Byte (TTFB)
   - Analyze geographic performance
   - Track error rates by region

## Performance Monitoring Framework

### 1. Cloudflare Workers Analytics

Access Workers Analytics via Cloudflare API:

```bash
# Get Workers analytics
curl -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/workers/scripts/{script_name}/analytics" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
```

**Key metrics**:
- Requests per second
- Errors per second
- CPU time (milliseconds)
- Duration (milliseconds)
- Success rate

### 2. Real User Monitoring (RUM)

Implement RUM for Cloudflare Pages:

```javascript
// Add to your Pages application
export default {
  async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
    const startTime = performance.now();

    try {
      const response = await handleRequest(request);

      // Track performance metrics
      const duration = performance.now() - startTime;

      // Send metrics to analytics
      ctx.waitUntil(
        trackMetrics({
          type: 'performance',
          duration,
          status: response.status,
          path: new URL(request.url).pathname,
          geo: request.cf?.country,
          timestamp: Date.now()
        })
      );

      return response;
    } catch (error) {
      const duration = performance.now() - startTime;

      ctx.waitUntil(
        trackMetrics({
          type: 'error',
          duration,
          error: error.message,
          path: new URL(request.url).pathname,
          timestamp: Date.now()
        })
      );

      throw error;
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Core Web Vitals Tracking

Track Core Web Vitals for Pages deployments:

```javascript
// Client-side Core Web Vitals tracking
import {getCLS, getFID, getFCP, getLCP, getTTFB} from 'web-vitals';

function sendToAnalytics(metric) {
  // Send to your analytics endpoint
  fetch('/api/analytics', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({
      name: metric.name,
      value: metric.value,
      rating: metric.rating,
      delta: metric.delta,
      id: metric.id,
      timestamp: Date.now(),
      deployment: __DEPLOYMENT_ID__
    }),
    keepalive: true
  });
}

getCLS(sendToAnalytics);
getFID(sendToAnalytics);
getFCP(sendToAnalytics);
getLCP(sendToAnalytics);
getTTFB(sendToAnalytics);
```

**Target values**:
- LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): <2.5s
- FID (First Input Delay): <100ms
- CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift): <0.1
- FCP (First Contentful Paint): <1.8s
- TTFB (Time to First Byte): <600ms

### 4. Cold Start Monitoring

Track Worker cold starts:

```javascript
let isWarm = false;

export default {
  async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
    const isColdStart = !isWarm;
    isWarm = true;

    const startTime = performance.now();
    const response = await handleRequest(request);
    const duration = performance.now() - startTime;

    // Track cold start metrics
    if (isColdStart) {
      ctx.waitUntil(
        trackColdStart({
          duration,
          timestamp: Date.now(),
          region: request.cf?.colo
        })
      );
    }

    return response;
  }
}
```

**Analysis**:
- Cold start frequency
- Cold start duration by region
- Impact on user experience
- Bundle size correlation

### 5. Bundle Size Monitoring

Track deployment bundle sizes:

```bash
# In CI/CD pipeline
- name: Check Bundle Size
  run: |
    CURRENT_SIZE=$(wc -c < dist/worker.js)
    echo "Current bundle size: $CURRENT_SIZE bytes"

    # Compare with previous deployment
    PREVIOUS_SIZE=$(curl -s "https://api.example.com/metrics/bundle-size/latest")
    DIFF=$((CURRENT_SIZE - PREVIOUS_SIZE))
    PERCENT=$(( (DIFF * 100) / PREVIOUS_SIZE ))

    echo "Size change: $DIFF bytes ($PERCENT%)"

    # Alert if >10% increase
    if [ $PERCENT -gt 10 ]; then
      echo "::warning::Bundle size increased by $PERCENT%"
      exit 1
    fi
```

**Track**:
- Total bundle size
- Size change per deployment
- Bundle size trends
- Compression effectiveness

## Performance Benchmarking

### Deployment Comparison

Compare performance across deployments:

```javascript
// Performance comparison structure

  "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
  "metrics": {
    "p50_duration_ms": 45,
    "p95_duration_ms": 120,
    "p99_duration_ms": 250,
    "cold_start_p50_ms": 180,
    "cold_start_p95_ms": 350,
    "error_rate": 0.001,
    "requests_per_second": 1500,
    "bundle_size_bytes": 524288,
    "cpu_time_ms": 35
  },
  "core_web_vitals": {
    "lcp_p75": 1.8,
    "fid_p75": 45,

    "error_rate_change": 0,  // No change
    "regression_detected": false
  }
}
```

### Performance Regression Detection

Alert on performance regressions:

```javascript
// Regression detection rules
const REGRESSION_THRESHOLDS = {
  p95_duration_increase: 20,  // Alert if p95 increases >20%
  p99_duration_increase: 30,  // Alert if p99 increases >30%
  error_rate_increase: 50,    // Alert if errors increase >50%
  bundle_size_increase: 15,   // Alert if bundle size increases >15%
  cold_start_increase: 25,    // Alert if cold starts increase >25%
  lcp_increase: 10,           // Alert if LCP increases >10%
};

function detectRegressions(current, previous) {
  const regressions = [];

  // Check p95 duration
  const p95Change = ((current.p95_duration_ms - previous.p95_duration_ms) / previous.p95_duration_ms) * 100;
  if (p95Change > REGRESSION_THRESHOLDS.p95_duration_increase) {
    regressions.push({
      metric: 'p95_duration',
      change_percent: p95Change,
      current: current.p95_duration_ms,
      previous: previous.p95_duration_ms,
      severity: 'high'
    });
  }

  // Check error rate
  const errorRateChange = ((current.error_rate - previous.error_rate) / previous.error_rate) * 100;
  if (errorRateChange > REGRESSION_THRESHOLDS.error_rate_increase) {
    regressions.push({
      metric: 'error_rate',
      change_percent: errorRateChange,
      current: current.error_rate,
      previous: previous.error_rate,
      severity: 'critical'
    });
  }

  // Check bundle size
  const bundleSizeChange = ((current.bundle_size_bytes - previous.bundle_size_bytes) / previous.bundle_size_bytes) * 100;
  if (bundleSizeChange > REGRESSION_THRESHOLDS.bundle_size_increase) {
    regressions.push({
      metric: 'bundle_size',
      change_percent: bundleSizeChange,
      current: current.bundle_size_bytes,
      previous: previous.bundle_size_bytes,
      severity: 'medium'
    });
  }

  return regressions;
}
```

### Geographic Performance Analysis

Track performance by region:

```javascript
// Regional performance tracking
{
  "deployment_id": "abc123",
  "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
  "regional_metrics": {
    "us-east": {
      "p50_duration_ms": 35,
      "p95_duration_ms": 95,
      "error_rate": 0.0005,
      "requests": 50000
    },
    "eu-west": {
      "p50_duration_ms": 42,
      "p95_duration_ms": 110,
      "error_rate": 0.0008,
      "requests": 30000
    },
    "asia-pacific": {
      "p50_duration_ms": 65,

    { duration: '3m', target: 100 },  // Stay at 100 users
    { duration: '1m', target: 0 },    // Ramp down
  ],
  thresholds: {
    http_req_duration: ['p95<500', 'p99<1000'],  // 95% < 500ms, 99% < 1s
    http_req_failed: ['rate<0.01'],               // Error rate < 1%
  },
};

export default function () {
  const res = http.get(`${__ENV.BASE_URL}/api/health`);

  check(res, {
    'status is 200': (r) => r.status === 200,
    'response time < 500ms': (r) => r.timings.duration < 500,
