Smooth CWV Reports

Smooth CWV Reports by Smooth Bundle requests Lighthouse tests through Google PageSpeed Insights on publicly accessible pages from your WordPress site.

• Select pages using AJAX search by title or local URL.

• View results grouped by page, including performance, accessibility, best practices, SEO, LCP and CLS.

• Compare report history and inspect audit recommendations.

• Select one or multiple pages using native table checkboxes, then run tests or delete their report data through bulk actions.

• Open separate mobile and desktop PDFs prepared asynchronously by Smooth Bundle.

• Store separate Lighthouse JSON results for each device. PDFs require Smooth Bundle.

• Run tests manually, on a schedule, or after published content updates.

• Exclude public content types from automatic tests on update.

• Set a separate public Website URL for headless WordPress; availability checks and all tests use that URL with the selected page path.

• Use the Smooth CWV admin toolbar to open reports or queue a test.

Tests on update are enabled by default. Drafts, private or password-protected content, revisions and autosaves are skipped.

Without a Smooth Bundle connection, reports stay in the WordPress database. Connecting automatically stores reports in a private Smooth Bundle project. Local report data is removed only after both cloud JSON files have been uploaded and verified.

Report details then read their JSON from Smooth Bundle.

Lighthouse provides laboratory measurements. These results do not establish a real-user Core Web Vitals pass; TBT is not INP.

External services

Opening Settings checks the saved Website URL, or the WordPress URL when the field is empty. Browser-based WordPress Playground displays a dedicated error without contacting Cloudflare unless a separate frontend hostname is configured. com/dns-query, using A and AAAA queries as needed.

This sends only the hostname and DNS record type, not page contents, URL paths, Google API keys or Smooth Bundle credentials. Cloudflare also receives the requesting network’s IP address. Literal IP addresses are checked locally without a DNS request.

A missing public address displays an error notice; DNS service failures display an inconclusive warning. Finding a public address does not verify HTTP availability, authentication, firewall rules or split DNS. The check does not run outside Settings and does not block saving settings or queueing reports.

com/pagespeedonline/v5/runPagespeed. When you save your API key and run a manual test, enable a schedule, or update eligible content with tests on update enabled, the plugin sends the selected public page URL, device strategy, requested categories and your API key to Google. Google loads the page and its resources, and returns Lighthouse results including screenshots.

The API key is stored server-side, not displayed back in Settings, and never sent to Smooth Bundle. Without a Google key, new tests cannot be queued.

Depending on the action, the plugin sends your site URL and name, authorization data, account and project identifiers, the audited page URL, Lighthouse results including captured page screenshots, filenames, CWV metadata and asset protection settings. Smooth Bundle produces PDF versions from the uploaded JSON. New reports and existing local reports are uploaded automatically while connected.

The project is private. Account storage and usage are subject to the selected Smooth Bundle plan.

Without a connection, the plugin does not upload reports to Smooth Bundle. Google performs the selected audit and loads page resources, including third-party resources used by the page.
