Understanding Your Site Performance Report

Learn how to analyze and improve your website's performance metrics for better user experience

What is the Site Performance Report?

The Site Performance Report provides a comprehensive analysis of your website's speed, responsiveness, and overall user experience. It measures critical performance metrics and provides actionable recommendations for optimization.

Key Features:

•
Performance Score: Overall rating based on Core Web Vitals
•
Loading Metrics: Page load time and resource optimization
•
User Experience: Interactivity and visual stability analysis

Simply Explained

Think of your website's performance like a restaurant experience:

Loading Speed (LCP) is like how quickly your food arrives at the table
Interactivity (FID) is like how quickly the waiter responds when you need something
Visual Stability (CLS) is like having a stable table that doesn't wobble
Resource Optimization is like efficient kitchen operations

Our Site Performance Report measures all these aspects to ensure your visitors have a smooth and enjoyable experience!

Good: ≤ 100ms
Needs Improvement: 100ms - 300ms
Poor: > 300ms

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)

Measures visual stability

Good: ≤ 0.1
Needs Improvement: 0.1 - 0.25
Poor: > 0.25
