Sciova vs Speed Auditor

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. Future Enhancements: Unlimited URL tracking (Pro) Automated lab diagnostics via GTmetrix / WebPageTest Export reports (CSV / PDF) AI-assisted analysis and automated correlation of plugin, theme, and code changes External Services This plugin connects to the following third-party services: Chrome UX Report (CrUX) API by Google Used to fetch real-user performance field data (LCP, CLS, INP) for tracked URLs.
