Yes, access to the real-time Core Web Vitals dashboard is included as part of the consultancy service because I firmly believe setting up CoreDash is one of the first steps in optimizing and monitoring web performance.

All the data that we collect is as close to real time as possible. Every 5 minutes we update our results to show you the latest Core Web Vitals data. To balance  optimal client site performance, the tracking script is cached by browsers and edge servers for up to 3 hours hour. As a result, configuration changes are not real-time and may even take some time to fully propagate across the system.

CoreDash provides a custom tracking code tailored for your site. This code collects real-time performance data from users and anonymously sends it directly to the CoreDash backend, where it’s processed and stored for real-time insights. 

 The Core Web Vitals Dashboard is highly accurate, with near 100% alignment with the Google Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) dataset, which Google uses to track Core Web Vitals. This ensures reliable performance insights that reflect real-world user experiences

The best package depends on the number of pageviews to be tracked. There’s no need to capture every single pageview! Our system automatically samples pageviews when it predicts that your usage will approach the package limit. For most websites, the Starter or Standard package will be more than sufficient.

No, of-course not! We do not like this kind of marketing tricks! You deserve the best tooling possible, it does not matter if you are just starting out or are a successful brand. That is why all packages include the same functionality, the only difference is the amount of data we will store.

If you're managing several smaller sites, the agency package is ideal for tracking multiple sites at a competitive rate. For other packages, our pricing is already very affordable, so we currently do not offer additional discounts. 

Yes, tracking a staging site is possible! Please note that the default view will be unfiltered, but filters can be easily applied to include or exclude specific staging sites in the Core Web Vitals overview.

AI alerts are smart warnings that require zero setup. Just enable AI alerts and we will figure out what issues require your attention through an alert.

Early warnings are send when we notice your Core Web Vitals are being affected and may require immediate attention in order to keep passing the Core Web Vitals. At that time there might be too little real user data to be 100% sure, that is what early warnings are for. We will notify you anyway when the statistical confidence levels are high enough!

Yes, you can setup custom alerts! We actually encourage it. You can use any metric and any filter. Once the core Web Vitals change and breach your custom defined settings we will send you an alert!
