Truthful user experience and browsing performances monitoring.
Vibes is a robust user experience and browsing performances monitoring solution that analyzes perceived performances from users’ viewpoint.
It is fully autonomous – does not rely on external services and does not require any API keys, works on any type of hosting and in any type of environment – including staging, intranets or password protected sites.
By continuously monitoring user experience, Vibes can report:
<ul>
<li>navigation performance KPIs per pages – like latency, redirections, browser caching hit rates, etc.;</li>
<li>network timelines as if you were in the dev tools of your users’ browsers;</li>
<li>resources details – like initiators, protocols, mime types, average sizes, etc.;</li>
<li>Web Vitals: LCP, FID, CLS, FCP and TTFB.</li>
</ul>
It can segment all this data per:
<ul>
<li>user type (anonymous vs. authenticated);</li>
<li>channel (frontend vs. backend);</li>
<li>country (requires the free <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-locator/" rel="ugc">IP Locator</a> plugin);</li>
<li>device classes and types (requires the free <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/device-detector/" rel="ugc">Device Detector</a> plugin).</li>
</ul>
Vibes supports multisite report delegation (see FAQ).
Vibes supports WP-CLI commands to:
<ul>
<li>display (past or current) performances signals in console – see <code>wp help vibes tail</code> for details;</li>
<li>toggle on/off main settings – see <code>wp help vibes settings</code> for details.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Caching Deployments</h3>
For NGINX Stack (cPanel/WHM): 
– ea-NGINX (reverse proxy caching) is meant to be 2nd-level 
– Make sure your WP site also has on-site caching, like WP Super Cache 
– You can go further with caching: browser-caching assets!
For LiteSpeed Stack: 
– Use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/litespeed-cache/" rel="ugc">LiteSpeed Cache plugin</a> 
– See <a href="https://docs.openlitespeed.org/config/lscache/" rel="nofollow ugc">LiteSpeed Cache documentation</a> for configuration
3-layer Cache (NGINX): 
1. NGINX Caching Proxy (ahead of Apache) 
2. WP Super Cache, WP Rocket, etc on-site 
3. htaccess/etc rules for Browser Caching
This way, you can ensure maximum efficiency!
The key is to purge when stale, so properly configuring your WP Plugin Cache is critical to ensuring that you don’t end up with cache misses due to stale data that could’ve/should’ve been purged by garbage collection, preloading, etc, rule-sets.
<h3>Updating from v1 to v2.x.x</h3>
On every website running the plugin, check that:
<ol>
<li>Website is reporting v2.x.x plugin version.</li>
<li>Plugin has been activated post-update. *</li>
<li>Config exists in the plugin settings.</li>
<li>API status checker reports OK.</li>
<li>/wp-content/tnc-toolbox-config/ folder is gone.</li>
</ol>
(* Change to main plugin file name may result in deactivation)
<h3>Verifying cP+WHM Logs</h3>
If you’d like to ensure actions are firing properly at a deeper level:
<ol>
<li>WHM > Tweak Settings > Logging > Enable cPanel API Log > On</li>
<li>WHM > Terminal > <code>tail -f /usr/local/cpanel/logs/api_log</code></li>
<li>WordPress > Update a Post/Page, or explicitly Purge</li>
<li>WHM > Terminal > You should see the action fire!</li>
<li>WHM > Terminal > Ctrl+C to close the tail</li>
</ol>
Note: To do this, you require <code>root</code> access to the Server.
