NaveenCodes Core Web Vitals
NaveenCodes Core Web Vitals is the most complete free performance plugin for WordPress. It measures Core Web Vitals from your actual visitors, shows you exactly which pages are slow and why, and gives you the tools to fix every issue — from CSS minification to database cleanup.
Real User Monitoring (RUM): Unlike lab tools (Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights), this plugin measures from your real visitors on real devices and networks — the same signal Google uses for Search ranking.
Metrics collected from every visitor: * LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) — loading performance * CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) — visual stability * INP (Interaction to Next Paint) — responsiveness * FCP (First Contentful Paint) — time to first render * TTFB (Time to First Byte) — server response speed
Slow Request Detection: The collector uses the browser’s Resource Timing API to identify the slowest network requests on each page — scripts, stylesheets, images, fonts — and surfaces them in the Assets page with load time, file size and render-blocking status.
Page Analysis: * See every published post and page with its real CWV scores * Per-page issues with specific fix suggestions * Quick Fix button — automatically enables the right optimizer settings * Per-page overrides — exclude specific scripts/styles on individual pages * Preload a specific URL (hero image, font) for a page
Built-in Speed Optimizer — 13 one-click fixes:
Images: * Lazy Load Images (LCP)
Resources: * Preconnect hints for Google Fonts (FCP) * Defer non-critical JavaScript (LCP) * Remove version query strings
WordPress Cleanup: * Remove emoji scripts (-33 KB) * Disable Dashicons for guests (-30 KB) * Disable self-pingbacks
Minification: * Minify CSS files — local files with cache * Minify JavaScript files — local files with cache * Minify HTML output
Advanced Resources: * Google Fonts — non-blocking async load (FCP) * DNS prefetch for external domains (TTFB) * Preload theme stylesheet (FCP)
Database Optimizer: * Clean post revisions * Remove spam comments * Delete trashed posts and comments * Remove expired transients * Delete auto-draft posts * Remove orphaned post meta * OPTIMIZE TABLE — defragment and reclaim disk space * Visual table size breakdown
Dashboard: * Per-metric traffic-light status (Good / Needs Work / Poor) * 7-day trend sparklines * Slowest pages table * Device filter (mobile / tablet / desktop)
Privacy & Architecture: * No external service — all data in your WordPress database * Configurable sampling rate (1–100%) * Configurable data retention (7–365 days) * Exclude specific URLs or logged-in users * Automatic daily cleanup cron
