This is Performance dashboard report main page and we can drill down using links to view detail like.
1) CPU bottlenecks (which queries are consuming the most CPU and Plan for this query)
2) IO bottlenecks (which queries are performing the most IO and Plan for this query).
3) Index recommendations generated by the query optimizer (missing index recommendations pulled from sys.dm_db_missing_index_details and sys.dm_db_missing_index_group_stats)
4) Blocking
5) Latch contention and other Wait Types
