Idea Behind
There is no need to say that performance IS very important.
What’s also important — is to understand whether you have to worry about your website performance or it’s doing fine.
).
If your website passes CWV assessment for Origin — it means that your website is fast enough for the majority of users.
If it doesn’t pass — it means that you have to fix this.
If it does pass but quite a few specific URLs are not passing — it’s a good time to look into those URLs and improve them to prevent the entrire webstie to be marked as failing CWV.
I wanted a simple easy-to-use tool to warn me in case my clients’ websites performance has a bad tendency and needs my attention.
I wanted a native WordPress solution, with all information available from the dashboard, simple but still informative, a guard who will do the monitoring every day and ping me, in case something goes wrong.
I have not found one and that’s why I’ve built this plugin.
I’ll be happy to know that you find it useful as well — please, leave a review.
S. Note about PageSpeed Insights: you SHOULD always use CWV data in case it is available for your website. In case it is not available (when the website is new and/or doesn’t have enough traffic yet) — use PageSpeed Insights.
But you have to remember, that PSI — are lab tests, it’s just an emulation of real users experience. It’s better than nothing, of course.
