<p>Site speed and performance optimization don’t have to be a complex task. With Solid Performance, simply install and activate, and the plugin will incrementally create static versions of each URL of your website for an instant performance boost.</p>
<h4>How Solid Performance Increases Your Site Performance and Page Speed ✅</h4>
<p>You’re busy, and you need to spend time building your website. In order to build well you need a solid foundation. Installing Solid Performance lets you optimize your site performance right away and start building sooner and faster without having to spend time configuring dozens of options.</p>
<p>A solid caching solution should not cause breakage with your favorite plugins. Solid Performance comes out of the box with smart plugin exception rules for pages that have dynamic content created by these plugins:<br />
* WooCommerce<br />
* GiveWP</p>
<p>With these smart defaults and page caching in place automatically, you can focus your time and energy on building and enhancing your website instead of struggling through dozens of caching settings.</p>
<h4>What is Caching and how does Solid Speed leverage it ❓</h4>
<p>There are several different types of caching</p>
<p>Solid Performance focuses exclusively on page caching, grabbing the HTML of your WordPress URLs and storing that in a secure directory. Then, when your visitors arrive at your site, the browser doesn’t need to run through PHP or hit your database again, it just serves up the desktop or mobile (if enabled) versions of static HTML, CSS, and JS files fast and simply.</p>
<h4>How Page Caching Benefits Your Website Performance 🚀</h4>
<p>As soon as you activate Solid Performance, your site will get an immediate boost. You’ll see benefits like these:<br />
🚀 Improved site performance (content delivery speed)<br />
🚀 Reduced drag on server load<br />
🚀 Measurable, quantifiable stats: lower bounce rates and higher conversion rates</p>
<p>When a site developer or manager is able to improve site performance for a client (for example), they are able to provide improved SEO results and meet a widely accepted expectation that well-run sites do not have slow download or content delivery times.</p>

<p>Core Web Vitals Monitor adds a sidebar to posts & pages and dashboard widget that show you how quickly your pages are loading for real visitors. We report page load times from real users as they experience your site so your data isn’t limited to your internet speed.</p>
<h4>Core Web Vitals</h4>
<p>This plugin uses the Google Chrome team’s <a href="https://github.com/GoogleChrome/web-vitals" rel="nofollow ugc">web vitals package</a> to ensure you get the most accurate data from visitor’s loading experience.</p>
<h4>Measurable Insights</h4>
<p>With real user data, you can see if the changes you’re making are making a measurable impact for users. We collect all the core web vitals that Google uses as ranking factors:<br />
* Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)<br />
* First Input Delay (FID)<br />
* Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)</p>
<p>Plus the following experimental/less key statistics:<br />
* First Contentful Paint (FCP)<br />
* Input to Next Paint (INP)<br />
* Time to First Byte (TTFB)</p>
<h4>Tiny and Focused</h4>
<p>The Core Web Vitals Monitor is a tiny plugin focused on one thing: accurate page speed data. Our load time tracker script is only 3.2kb large and is loaded asynchronously so it won’t increase your page load times.</p>
<h3>FAQS</h3>
<p><em>Does this work with the Gutenberg Block Editor?</em></p>
<p>Yes! The Core Web Vitals Monitor will appear on the right hand side under your post/page’s publishing settings.</p>
<p><em>Does this work with the Classic Editor?</em></p>
<p>Yes! The Core Web Vitals Monitor will appear on the right hand side under your post/page’s publishing settings.</p>
<p><em>Can I see page load times for a specific URL?</em></p>
<p>Yes, when you open a page or post in your WordPress admin area those statistics are only for the URL of that post. You can scroll down to the bottom of the monitor to see how many visits and what URL the data is for.</p>
<p><em>Where can I see the page load times for the entire site?</em></p>
<p>If you visit your WordPress admin dashboard, you’ll see the Core Web Vitals for all URLs collected on your site.</p>
<p><em>Will URL query parameters mess this up?</em></p>
<p>No. When we track the URL the user is on we strip back everything except the scheme (http or https), host name (www.example.com) and the path (/about-me). If the user is on a page with query parameters or a hash then this will be removed. The only thing that may lead to inconsistent results is if your scheme is inconsistent, for example if users are able to visit the site through HTTP and HTTPS.</p>
