Vibes

Description

Truthful user experience and browsing performances monitoring.

Vibes is a robust user experience and browsing performances monitoring solution that analyzes perceived performances from users’ viewpoint.

It is fully autonomous – does not rely on external services and does not require any API keys, works on any type of hosting and in any type of environment – including staging, intranets or password protected sites.

By continuously monitoring user experience, Vibes can report:

• navigation performance KPIs per pages – like latency, redirections, browser caching hit rates, etc.;
• network timelines as if you were in the dev tools of your users’ browsers;
• resources details – like initiators, protocols, mime types, average sizes, etc.;
• Web Vitals: LCP, FID, CLS, FCP and TTFB.

It can segment all this data per:

• user type (anonymous vs. authenticated);
• channel (frontend vs. backend);
• country (requires the free IP Locator plugin);
• device classes and types (requires the free Device Detector plugin).

Vibes supports multisite report delegation (see FAQ).

Vibes supports WP-CLI commands to:

• display (past or current) performances signals in console – see wp help vibes tail for details;
• toggle on/off main settings – see wp help vibes settings for details.

For a full help on WP-CLI commands in Vibes, please read this guide.
