watchlog

Watchlog RUM delivers Real User Monitoring for WordPress sites by mirroring the Watchlog Vue/React SDK event format. It tracks session lifecycle events, performance metrics, network activity, resource usage, and optional Web Vitals so you can understand how visitors experience your site in production.
<ul>
<li>Automatic <code>session_start</code>, <code>page_view</code>, and <code>session_end</code> events.</li>
<li>Navigation/paint timings plus optional Web Vitals (CLS, LCP, INP, TTFB, FID).</li>
<li>Instrumentation for <code>fetch</code>, <code>XMLHttpRequest</code>, long tasks, resources, and user interactions.</li>
<li>Breadcrumb and error capture hooks to enrich every event.</li>
<li>WordPress-aware route normalization and session persistence to align data with SPA SDKs.</li>
</ul>

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>
