Web Governance
Introduction to the Performance add-on
The Web Governance 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. Web Governance 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.
The Web Governance Performance add-on does a scan on a single page with Google Lighthouse, an open-source API and a powerful tool to help you improve the quality, performance, and correctness of web pages. You can input a URL and receive a score along with suggestions for how to make website performance improvements.
The Google online service software assesses Performance, PWA (Progressive Web Apps), Best Practices, Accessibility, and SEO. In our first version, Web Governance has only integrated the Performance part of Lighthouse.
With the Google service, you must enter each URL every time you want to see a score. The Web Governance Performance add-on improves upon this with the possibility to set up score result sequences, for example, Web Governance can automatically scan the selected page up to 4 times a day.

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 examines the number of 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 Web Governance Performance add-on, you will make improvements to the page that improve the user experience and likely improves the 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, Page Speed 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:
