The way our monitoring works is not exactly like an actual web browser. We don't load all the images and/or dynamic elements (flash movies, etc...) We just send a Head request and/or a Get request that returns text content only.
So it can be difficult to replicate slow loading in a browser which could be due to a large range of issues like problems with the web server to local computer/internet service provider problems.
But we do provide a timeout setting for each monitor with a minimum value of 15 seconds (maximum value is 35 seconds.) So you can specify that value for each monitor. We have found that if slow loading is due to a web server issue then the time out setting will often trigger an alert. But if it's due to more localized computer/network issues it may not.
The only other exception would be if you are noticing part of the website loading slowly, like a page dynamically generated by a script calling a database or a shopping cart/merchant software, etc... then we do have a page content monitoring option. You could specify a word or phrase that appears on the part of the page loading slowly. If we can't find it within the timeout setting then we will alert you.
