Description
turbometrics measures the real performance of your
WordPress website from your visitors’ perspective — not
from a lab environment.
While synthetic tools (like Lighthouse or PageSpeed Insights)
measure your site under controlled conditions, turbometrics
shows what your real visitors experience: on their devices,
with their internet connection, from their region.
What the plugin does
- Automatically embeds the turbometrics tracking script
in the<head>of every page - Measures LCP, CLS, INP, FCP and TTFB from your real visitors
- Optionally excludes WordPress administrators from tracking
- Marks WooCommerce checkout pages separately for precise analysis
- Shows Core Web Vitals and all 5 metrics directly in the
WordPress dashboard widget
Core Web Vitals
Google evaluates websites based on three signals:
- LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) — loading time of main content
- CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) — visual stability during load
- INP (Interaction to Next Paint) — response time to clicks
turbometrics shows you whether your site meets these thresholds
for real visitors — and alerts you when it does not.

A free trial is available. -
No. turbometrics works completely without cookies.
-
Is the plugin GDPR-compliant?
-
turbometrics collects only anonymized technical performance data.
IP addresses are anonymized after country detection. No personal
data is stored. We recommend mentioning the use of turbometrics
in your website’s privacy policy. A ready-made privacy policy
text is available in the turbometrics dashboard. -
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. When WooCommerce is active, checkout pages can be marked
separately for more precise performance analysis. -
Are administrators tracked?
-
By default, no. Logged-in administrators are excluded from
tracking to avoid skewing measurement data. This option can
be disabled in the settings. -
What happens to my data when I uninstall the plugin?

When uninstalling, all local WordPress options and caches
are deleted. Data in your turbometrics account remains and
