Stop guessing about your site's performance. Rayetun Site Monitor gives you real-user Core Web Vitals data collected directly from your visitors' browsers — no external account, no API key, no tracking from third parties.
Activate it. Visit a few pages. Within seconds you'll see live performance metrics on your WordPress dashboard.
⚡ Why This Plugin?
Unlike Search Console (which shows aggregated, delayed data), Rayetun Site Monitors
every page in real-time from the moment of activation. No sample-size thresholds. No waiting for Google to collect data. Just instant, actionable insights.
- 🎯 Zero configuration — activate and data flows immediately
- 📊 Real users, real data — field metrics from actual visitors (not synthetic robots)
- 🔒 Your data stays yours — everything lives in your WordPress database
- ⚡ No impact on performance — sub-4KB beacon, loaded with defer, zero blocking
- 🔐 GDPR-friendly — no cookies, no third-party data sharing
📈 What It Measures
The plugin tracks all five Core Web Vitals and presents them with Google's official thresholds:
| Metric | Target | What It Means |
|--------|--------|---------------|
|
LCP — Largest Contentful Paint | ≤ 2.5s | How fast your main content appears |
|
CLS — Cumulative Layout Shift | ≤ 0.1 | How stable your page layout stays |
|
INP — Interaction to Next Paint | ≤ 200ms | How responsive your site feels to clicks |
|
FCP — First Contentful Paint | ≤ 1.8s | How fast anything appears on screen |
|
TTFB — Time to First Byte | ≤ 800ms | How quick your server responds |
🖥️ The Dashboard
A single glance tells you everything about your site's performance:
- Score cards — P75 value per metric with color-coded Good / Needs Improvement / Poor badges
- Distribution bars — see at a glance what % of page loads fall into each rating band
- Sparkline trend charts — watch how each metric improves (or worsens) over 7, 14, or 30 days
- Slowest Pages ranking — which URLs need the most work, sorted by LCP
- Device split — toggle between All Devices, Mobile Only, or Desktop Only
- Date range & URL filters — drill into specific time periods and individual pages
🔍 LCP Element Attribution
"My LCP is slow. But
what is slow?"
Rayetun Site Monitor answers that automatically. The beacon captures the exact DOM element responsible for Largest Contentful Paint — whether it's a hero image, a video embed, a heading, or a background. See the element tag, CSS class, and image source right alongside the metric.
No guesswork. No DevTools digging. Just answers.
🧪 PageSpeed Insights Lab Tests
Click
PSI ↗ on any page row and Google's lab test runs instantly inside your WordPress admin. Compare your real-user data (Field LCP P75) with Google's synthetic lab test in a single view:
- Lab performance score
- Lab metrics: LCP, FCP, CLS, TBT
- Field LCP P75 (real-user percentile)
- Failed Opportunities list (unused JS, render-blocking resources, unoptimized images)
- One-hour result caching to stay under API limits
No plugin configuration needed — the plugin works without an API key. Add a free key to get 25,000 requests/day instead of 25.
