We've improved our real user monitoring dashboards, improved the request waterfalls in our lab tests, and published loads of new content.
Better early hints and connection data in the request waterfall
Our request waterfall now highlights requests that were triggered via 103 Early Hints.
If a page uses preconnect hints, where the server connection is created separate from the resource request, we now show when the connection is created.
Updated real user monitoring dashboards
Our updated RUM dashboards now show more clearly how well you website is doing on the Core Web Vitals.
RUM breakdown by technology
The "Tech" tab for the differnt page speed metrics lets you see how user experiences differ by the software, hardware, and network connection they use.
RUM INP load stage breakdown
The initial page load process often involves loading multiple scripts and rendering different page components. The INP stage breakdown lets you see whether INP is higher during the early stages of the page load process.
Core Web Vitals insights
You may often see Core Web Vitals differences between real user data and lab test results. The Core Web Vitals insights section identifies these differences and provides possible explanations.
