Core Web Vitals Tracking Feature

    Hi There!

    Until few days back there was no wordpress plugin that tracked “Core Web Vitals”.

    WordPress caching plugin “FlyingPress” has introduced a new feature in their plugin that displays “Core Web Vitals” right within its Dashboard.

    https://flyingpress.com/blog/core-web-vitals-tracking/

    Here is the link to the article that’s explaining the same.

    I think this feature can be great if brought to IA.

    For now, the only downside that FlyingPress has is when it comes to this feature – it stores the data on its servers – which is a not my cup-of-tea.

    To collect the user data what they are doing is – uses a small script and “not” rely on Google! I think this is incredible. I thought i should write to you guys!

    I would like to hear what do you think about the same.

    Thanks for your valuable time.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I think it is definitely an interesting idea. We don’t have any performance tracking features yet, but this would be a cool avenue for us to explore. We’ll check out what FlyingPress has made so far.

    P.S. We replaced the geographic world map with a non-Google library. You’ll see this change in our upcoming v2.13 update.

    That was great to read from you.

    WoW! Thanks for the update on the Map – can’t wait to see it!

    Thanks for your valuable time.

    God Bless.

    P.S. I thought “Core Web Vitals” Tracking Feature would be great for IA mainly because IA already collects all the data – Session, Browser, Device, Page/Post, Date & Time, Country, and all that’s necessary!

    Now, all that needed to be collected by IA is “Core Web Vitals” – which can be mainly divided into 4-6 data areas – TTFB, FCP, LCP, INP, CLS, ——– maybe also: Speed Index, Total Blocking Time.

    Thanks again.

    Also, here is a link to another cool “Core Web Vitals” Monitoring tool from Debugbear.

    https://www.debugbear.com/real-user-monitoring

    They have a Free trial.

    These guys are awesome as their “Vitals scores” are accurate as compared to google’s hosted pagespeed tool even though they are same tool(code) and displays the same results – except its vital scores.

    Whats most important about loading times of a website is – geography-wise the same website would load slower/faster depending on their server location; and also – CDN can help a lot – and CDN changes the overall speed of a website.

    Debugbear’s Dashboard has a WORLDMAP, which makes everything much clearer!

    I thought i should bring this tool to your notice though IA doesn’t have to be a tool to test the website speed or debug or analyze it – but only collects the “Core Web Vitals” details from user tracking – and also, this debugbear’s tool “Monitor Real User Core Web Vitals” does exactly the same – as does the FlyingPress —— we have to embed a code on the website just as IA and these tools collects the data!

    Thanks again.

    Looks like a pretty awesome tool. Thanks for sharing!

    We could probably implement a simpler version of this where we track load times for pages, referrers, etc. For all of the Core Web Vitals, that might be better suited for a separate companion plugin.

    I totally agree!

    The reason why i mentioned about the “Debugbear Dashboard’s WORLDMAP” is because – the other day i checked out the newer implementation of Geography Map in IA – its much cooler!

    Thanks a lot.
