The Acquia Optimize Performance add-on helps users improve website load speed and performance. You can view statistics on how your website performs for visitors in different locations, on different devices, and how they connect with different network speeds. Acquia Optimize automatically identifies and provides feedback about elements that slow down the website.
Page scans are based on selections made by the user. Make adjustments based on a large number of settings that determine how the scan is performed, such as location, speed, and device type. When a scan is finished, the results are integrated and can be viewed and analyzed in the Page Details view.
How Acquia Optimize can help¶
Google’s current Core Web Vitals include Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) which is similar to FMP, First Input Delay (FID) which is often, but not always, correlated with TTI, and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) which looks at how many times the layout shifts during the entire lifecycle of a page.
While there are some additional factors to consider with the upcoming Core Web Vitals algorithm, if you tackle the issues highlighted by the Acquia Optimize Performance module, you will still make improvements to the page that improve the user experience and likely improve upon these core web vitals.
Google has made visibility into their evolving Web Vitals available through as many relevant tools as possible including their Chrome User Experience Report, PageSpeed Insights, and Search Console. These are all free tools. For more information on ways to make improvements, they also offer a number of guides for optimizing the following:
Note:
The Performance add-on is based on the Google Lighthouse API v10.
