Preload Featured Images vs Sciova

Preload Featured Images automatically in posts to increase the PageSpeed Score. This plugin is a “must-have” for websites using themes that display the Featured Image automatically at the top in single post pages. Why was this plugin created? Suppose your theme displays the Featured Image at the top in posts automatically. In that case, the chances that the image is the LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) are very high, so the PageSpeed tool will highly recommend you to preload it. Are you getting the following recommendation when testing the PageSpeed score of a single post: “Preload Largest Contentful Paint image”? Then this plugin will help you! How it works? Go to the Settings > Preload Featured Images page and choose the image size used by your theme to make sure the right image size is preloaded. Compatible Themes The plugin supports all themes, but it’s very important to choose the right Image Size on the settings page. If you are not sure which is the image size used by your theme, simply get in touch with your theme’s developer and they will be able to help you with that. If you’re using one of the following popular themes, then the plugin will automatically pick the right Image Size, so you don’t have to configure anything: Foodica Foodica PRO Gourmand Cookely Astra Neve OceanWP GeneratePress BlossomRecipe Divi Ashe

Sciova gives WordPress site owners, SEO managers, and developers a reliable tool to monitor Core Web Vitals trends using Chrome UX Report (CrUX) as the source of truth. Lab tools like PageSpeed Insights (PSI) are used as supporting diagnostics. All operations are admin-only. There is no frontend impact, no injected scripts, and no effect on site visitors or SEO. Key Features: Track up to 3 URLs (free tier). CrUX History charts for LCP, CLS, and INP — rendered with uPlot for minimal overhead. Interactive chart tooltips showing p75 value and reporting period on hover. Moving average overlay (MA5 or MA10) to smooth out week-to-week noise. Trend classification per metric: Improving, Regressing, Stable, or Insufficient Data. URL health indicator — colour-coded dot in the URL selector reflects overall trend health. Smart analysis text — plain-language summary of CWV status with actual p75 values and CWV thresholds. Copy report — one-click copy of the analysis text for sharing or pasting into docs. Lab diagnostics via PageSpeed Insights (mobile and desktop snapshots) with score badge. Notes panel — log deployments, theme changes, or any site events with datetime for correlation. Notes pagination — 5 notes per page, newest first. Settings page — manage your CrUX and PSI API keys with a built-in connection test. Loading overlay — dashboard waits for all data (URLs, CrUX, PSI, Notes) before revealing the UI. Async PSI fetch — adding a URL returns instantly; PSI data is fetched via WP-Cron in the background. Lightweight: no build step, no bundler, no frontend libraries loaded outside the admin screen.
