People Inc., an operating business of IAC, helps approximately 100 million users per month find answers, solve problems, and get inspired. Across brands including Verywell, Investopedia, The Spruce, Byrdie, and Simply Recipes, the company depends on fast, reliable sites that meet reader expectations from the first click.
People Inc. Chose Active Observability and RUM
People Inc. needed a solution that combined active observability with Real User Monitoring (RUM). The team wanted to discover and solve performance issues faster, reduce mean time to resolution, and turn performance data into something they could use to improve the user experience. As Matthew Landolf said, “We realized that RUM was going to be one of the most important things to provide us with the visibility we needed to make the performance enhancements that we wanted to.”
People Inc. Regained Control of Site Speed and Bounce Rate
Once LogicMonitor’s Catchpoint was in place, People Inc. saw a 95% reduction in MTTR, easier data management, better reporting through internal dashboards, and stronger user retention and engagement. “Our mean time to resolution has dropped considerably since we’ve deployed all of the Catchpoint products… real user monitoring has given us the ability to find root causes almost immediately,” Landolf said.

Why This Matters for Digital Publishing
For publishers, site performance is part of the product. When readers come in through search or AI-driven discovery, there is no room for delay. People Inc.’s experience shows how active observability and RUM can help teams protect the reader experience, reduce MTTR, and stay focused on delivering fast, reliable content at scale.
