Track the big three

Monitor LCP for load speed, INP for responsiveness, and CLS for layout stability.

Focus on top pages

Check your homepage, pricing, and checkout pages first.

Set realistic thresholds

Alert when metrics cross warning levels so you fix problems before rankings drop.

Watch for sudden regressions

New plugins or images can slow pages. Track changes week over week.

Separate mobile and desktop

Mobile speed often differs. Monitor both for accurate insights.

Tie speed to outcomes

Compare speed changes to conversions so you know what matters most.
