About this plugin
Know your Core Web Vitals without leaving WordPress. Cirv Pulse monitors your Lighthouse performance score and tells you exactly what to fix.
Google uses Core Web Vitals as a ranking factor. If your LCP is slow, your CLS is high, or your INP is poor — you’re losing rankings and traffic. Cirv Pulse puts these numbers on your WordPress dashboard with clear pass/fail indicators and fix-it recommendations.
Why Core Web Vitals Matter
- Google ranking factor – CWV directly impacts search rankings since 2021
- User experience – Slow sites lose 53% of mobile visitors (Google data)
- Conversion rates – Every 100ms of latency costs 1% in conversions
- Competitive edge – Most WordPress sites fail CWV (your competitors included)

What’s new in the Cirv ecosystem
We are building the next plugin in the Cirv suite — Cirv Sight.
Core Web Vitals fix your rankings on Google. Cirv Sight fixes your rankings on ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Yoast tells you you’re invisible to Google.
Cirv Sight tells you you’re invisible to AI search — and lets you charge AI bots to crawl you.
txt for your WordPress site, then watches what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews actually do with it. Four numbers per page: citations, AI-bot crawls, share of voice, and a Cloudflare 402 pay-per-crawl estimate. Same Cirvgreen team, same engineer-honest data — pointed at AI rankings instead of CWV.
