Monitor and Improve Your Site's Performance

The Performance section of RebelBoost gives you a real-time view of how fast your site feels to real visitors — and the tools to fix any issues with a single toggle. You can see how your site scores on Google’s benchmarks, understand exactly what’s affecting the experience, and apply improvements instantly without touching your website.

What You Can See and Do

• View live performance data collected directly from your real visitors — updated continuously
• See how your site performs on mobile, desktop, or across all devices
• Filter data by the last 5 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, or 28 days to spot trends
• Check your Google CRuX data to see how your site’s user experience compares against Google’s benchmarks
• Enable performance and SEO improvements one by one, or apply a preset configuration with one click
• All improvements take effect for every visitor immediately — no changes needed to your website

How to Get to the Performance Dashboard

1. Log in to RebelBoost and select your property from the top of the left sidebar.
2. Click Speed & SEO in the left sidebar. A menu will expand showing all available sections.
3. Click Performance in the sub-menu.

How to Read Your Performance Data

The Live Performance Metrics page shows data collected from your real visitors in near real-time. Here is what you will see:

1. At the top of the page, find the Real-Time Data section. Use the time filter tabs — 5 min, 1 hour, 1 day, or 28 days — to choose the time window you want to review.
2. Switch between Mobile, Desktop, or All to see how your site performs for each type of visitor.
3. Below the real-time section, find the Google CRuX area. This shows how your site’s experience compares against Google’s real-world user data for your domain — including a UX Distribution breakdown of visitor experiences.

Understanding the Metrics

The performance scores you see are based on three measurements that Google uses to assess how good a page feels to use:

• LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) — how fast the main content on the page loads and appears to the visitor. A good score means content appears quickly and visitors don’t have to wait.
• CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) — how stable the page is as it loads. A low score means elements don’t jump around while people are reading or about to click something.
• INP (Interaction to Next Paint) — how quickly the page responds when a visitor clicks, taps, or types. A good score means interactions feel instant rather than sluggish.

Tip: If you see “No Data” for any metric, your site may be newly connected or has had very little recent traffic. Check back after more visitors have come through.

How to Improve Your Scores with Optimizations

The Optimizations section gives you a set of improvements you can switch on or off at any time. Each one applies instantly to all visitors — no code changes needed.

1. In the Speed & SEO sub-menu, click Optimizations.
2. To enable a group of improvements at once, choose a preset:
   • Maximum Performance — enables speed-focused improvements including layout shift reduction, faster font loading, and instant page navigation
   • SEO Optimized — enables all SEO-related improvements including title tags, meta descriptions, open graph tags, and more
3. To fine-tune individual settings, scroll through the list and toggle any improvement on or off. You can also use the search bar to find a specific setting by name.

Tip: You can use a preset as a starting point and then switch off any individual toggles you do not want — presets and individual toggles work together.

Tips and Things to Know

• Data comes from real visitors. Everything you see in the Performance dashboard is based on actual people visiting your site — not simulated tests.
• Optimization improvements are applied at the edge. This means they work for all visitors automatically without any changes to your website’s source files or hosting setup.
• Google CRuX data updates over time. The scores reflect a rolling window of real visitor experiences. Newly connected sites may show limited data at first.
• Device data is separate. Mobile and desktop visitors often have different experiences — use the device toggle to check each one individually when investigating a score.
• You can check multiple time windows. Switch between 5 min, 1 hour, 1 day, and 28 days to understand whether a dip is temporary or part of a longer trend.
