Performance Dashboard

Use this dashboard to monitor page loading metrics and Google's core web vitals so you can pinpoint where problems are occurring on your site. While web vitals (first input delay, cumulative layout shift, and largest contentful paint) only show data for Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, the quality of each metric affects your SEO ranking in Google searches. The other performance metrics on this page display data for all browsers supported by Yottaa. Click the data boxes to see more information about each metric.
