Supporting Tencent Video in enhancing platform performance to safeguard user experience
By leveraging Bonree ONE’s proactive probing capabilities, Bonree helped Tencent Video pinpoint its strengths and weaknesses against competitors for targeted performance optimizations. Additionally, we uncovered and resolved issues with video playback strategies and prolonged CDN delivery times, and established a video playback experience scoring standard—all dedicated to ensuring an outstanding user experience.
1. How can Tencent Video improve user approval?
As competition in every video segment grows fiercer, more transparent, and features highly overlapping content, how can Tencent Video attract more users to its platform?
2. How can we optimize and enhance platform performance from the user’s perspective?
It’s challenging to understand user experiences across various scenarios in Tencent Video, Tencent News, Tencent Sports, Weishi, and other app clients, making targeted performance improvements difficult.
3. How can we determine where our product’s user experience ranks within the industry?
It’s challenging to assess the strengths and weaknesses of Tencent’s products compared to competitors and to evaluate whether the ROI is justified
1. Real‑time monitoring of Yingyongbao’s app client performance.
By tracking download speed, availability, and other metrics across the three major carriers’ app stores in 50 key cities, Bonree’s test insights help Tencent’s resource architecture team optimize underperforming regions and enable Yingyongbao to benchmark itself against competitors and enhance its performance.
2. Helped Tencent identify issues in its video playback strategy.
When playing videos on the Tencent News, Tencent Sports, and Tencent Video apps, over 90% of streams default to HD—whereas most competitor apps default to standard or smooth quality.
3. Rapidly pinpoint extended CDN latency for video resources.
During testing, Bonree discovered consistently high average DNS resolution times at each step and—using scatter‑waterfall charts to identify the root cause—filtered out non‑critical third‑party domain requests in task configurations to eliminate those DNS delays
4. Established video playback experience scoring criteria
Bonree performs a weighted assessment based on four key metrics—time to first frame/initial buffering, total stall duration, stall rate, and availability—to generate a comprehensive performance score
5. Assisted Tencent Video in diagnosing poor playback experiences.
During testing, Bonree identified samples exhibiting long time‑to‑first‑frame, extended stall durations, and frequent buffering. By matching client‑requested video URLs with entries in Tencent’s internal CDN logs and analyzing those records, we pinpointed the specific root causes.
