The problem
A theme, plugin, or content update can slow important pages, but teams only notice after rankings or conversions move.
Who this WordPress plugin is for
site owners, developers, and agencies monitoring important WordPress templates after releases.

It records a lightweight baseline, compares scheduled checks, and alerts on meaningful regression instead of replacing full real-user monitoring. The WordPress plugin stays deliberately narrow so teams can validate one repeatable job before adding adjacent workflows.
