How to track any pages speed and their history?
WP Adminify’s Google Pagespeed Insights addon allows you to track the speed and performance of any web page directly from your WordPress dashboard. This feature not only provides instant speed analysis but also stores historical data, making it easy to compare the performance of your website over time. Here's a guide on how to track page speed and view historical performance.
Step-by-Step Guide to Tracking Page Speed:
1. Install and Activate the Google Pagespeed Insights Addon:
- First, make sure the Google PageSpeed Insights addon is installed and activated in WP Adminify.
2. Navigate to the Speed Insights Section:
- After logging into your WordPress dashboard, hover over the WP Adminify menu in the left-hand panel.
- From the dropdown, click on Speed Insights. This will take you to the page where you can analyze your web pages and view the speed history.
3. Analyze a Page’s Speed:
- By default, the Analyze tab will be selected. Here, you can enter the URL of the web page you want to analyze.
- Click the New Analyze button located at the top right corner of the screen.
4. Enter a Web Page URL:
- In the field provided, enter the URL of the page you want to analyze. It can be a page from your own website or any other website on the internet.
- Make sure to enter the correct protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) for accurate results.
- Once you’ve entered the URL, click Analyze to start the speed test.
5. View Speed Insights:
- WP Adminify will run the speed test using the Google Pagespeed Insights API and display the results.
- The results will include suggestions to optimize your website’s performance, such as improving image optimization, reducing the number of DOM elements, leveraging browser caching, and more.
6. How to Track Page Speed History:
1. Access the History Tab:
- After performing speed tests on different pages, WP Adminify will automatically save the results.
- To view previous performance data, click on the History tab located next to the Analyze tab.
2. View Historical Data:
- In the History section, you will see a list of previously analyzed pages along with their performance metrics.
- You can scroll through the list to find the page you want to review. Each entry shows the date and time of the analysis, allowing you to monitor changes in your page’s speed over time.
3. Compare Results:
- Use the historical data to compare past and current page speeds. This is especially helpful if you’ve made performance improvements and want to track the effectiveness of your changes.
- You can analyze trends and see whether optimizations such as image compression or script minimization have improved loading times.
4. Delete Old Data:
If you no longer need the historical data, you can delete it by clicking on the Delete button next to the entry. This helps to keep your dashboard organized and clutter-free.
