It’s true that what might be considered the “most important” or “best” web performance metrics can vary by industry. These six metrics were not chosen at random – they work together to give you a snapshot of your site’s performance and overall user experience so you can set a baseline and improve speed and usability. Speed Index.

As a MySQL database administrator, keeping a close eye on the performance of your MySQL server is crucial to ensure optimal database operations. However, simply deploying a monitoring tool is not enough; you need to know which Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor to gain insights into your MySQL server’s health and performance.

The reason for reporting both TPM and NOPM performance metrics is for both historical and performance reasons. However as other databases were added they all record TPM in a slightly different way so it wasn’t possible to compare TPM between different database for example Oracle and SQL Server. Therefore NOPM was added.
