Core Web Vitals monitoring
Monitor real-user Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS, FCP and TTFB) at the 75th percentile by page, device, browser and country, with automatic regression notes.
Turn on the vitals module:

Scorecard#
For each metric, the 75th percentile (p75) over the range, the share of page views rated good / needs improvement / poor, and the trend:
| Metric | Good | Poor |
|---|---|---|
| LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) | ≤ 2.5 s | > 4 s |
| INP (Interaction to Next Paint) | ≤ 200 ms | > 500 ms |
| CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) | ≤ 0.1 | > 0.25 |
| FCP (First Contentful Paint) | ≤ 1.8 s | > 3 s |
| TTFB (Time to First Byte) | ≤ 0.8 s | > 1.8 s |
These are Google's thresholds. Between good and poor is "needs improvement".
Breakdowns#
By page (worst first, weighted by traffic), device, browser and country. The page detail view shows Vitals for one page by device.
Regressions#
Every day, each metric's p75 for the last 7 complete days is compared with the 7 days before. A rise of more than 20% (with at least 20 samples) adds an automatic note to your charts. Create a Vitals regression alert to be notified.
Sampling and usage#
Vitals are sampled on the server at the site's sample rate (Site settings → Tracking). The Free plan allows up to 10% and paid plans up to 100%. The current rate is shown on the report. Web Vitals never count toward your event usage.
