Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Core Web Vitals Monitor adds a sidebar to posts & pages and dashboard widget that show you how quickly your pages are loading for real visitors. We report page load times from real users as they experience your site so your data isn’t limited to your internet speed.

Core Web Vitals

This plugin uses the Google Chrome team’s web vitals package to ensure you get the most accurate data from visitor’s loading experience.

Measurable Insights

With real user data, you can see if the changes you’re making are making a measurable impact for users. We collect all the core web vitals that Google uses as ranking factors:

* Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)

* First Input Delay (FID)

* Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)

Plus the following experimental/less key statistics:

* First Contentful Paint (FCP)

* Input to Next Paint (INP)

* Time to First Byte (TTFB)

Tiny and Focused

The Core Web Vitals Monitor is a tiny plugin focused on one thing: accurate page speed data. 2kb large and is loaded asynchronously so it won’t increase your page load times.
