TABLE OF CONTENTS

What is the WordPress Website Performance Report?

The Website Performance Report is a built-in dashboard in GHL Customer Care’s WordPress Hosting that evaluates how fast your pages load, how responsive they feel, and how stable layouts remain. It highlights issues that affect visitors the most and points you to practical improvements you can make from your existing WordPress setup.

The report analyzes published pages and returns separate mobile and desktop performance summaries. It reflects lab test results (from PageSpeed/Lighthouse) and emphasizes Google’s Core Web Vitals so you can make changes that improve real-user experience.

Key Benefits of the Website Performance Report

Benefits focus on faster load times, clearer prioritization, and better outcomes for conversions and search—while keeping your workflow inside GHL Customer Care.

  • Mobile vs. desktop clarity: See device-specific scores to find issues that only appear on phones or on larger screens.
  • Core Web Vitals visibility: Track the three UX signals (LCP, INP, CLS) that matter most for perceived speed and stability.
  • Prioritized health checks: Review items grouped as Passed, Consider, or Fix to know what deserves attention first.
  • Actionable recommendations: Use plain-language explanations and estimated time-savings to guide the next best steps.
  • SEO-aligned improvements: Optimize the technical factors that influence engagement and search performance.
  • Dashboard-first workflow: Access insights from the WordPress Hosting dashboard—external tools remain optional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Website Performance Report work for non‑GHL Customer Care WordPress sites?

The report focuses on sites hosted on GHL Customer Care WordPress Hosting. External or third‑party WordPress environments aren’t included.

Q: My lab score improved but Core Web Vitals didn’t—why?

Lab tests reflect changes immediately. Any field‑aggregated metrics can lag until enough real visitors experience the updated page.

Q: What should I check first if mobile scores are much lower than desktop?

Start with image dimensions/compression, critical CSS, and third‑party scripts. Also confirm your server region is close to your primary audience.

Q: Can plugins affect performance scoring?

Yes. Heavy or conflicting plugins can hurt LCP/INP. Audit installed plugins and review the Blocked Plugins list before adding performance tools.
