Site Audit results

The Site Audit details page shows the full results for a specific audit run.

To open it, go to Websites and click the site you want to manage. Then go to Performance > Site Audit and click See Details for an audit result.

Use this page to review detailed performance metrics, compare results over time, and inspect the Lighthouse report for the audited URL.

At the top of the page, you can see the audited URL, audit type, device type, and audit date.

Use this information to confirm that you are reviewing the correct audit result.

The metric cards summarize the selected audit result.

Each card shows the measured value, status, and change compared with the previous relevant result when available.

The page includes:

First Contentful Paint (FCP) measures how long it takes the browser to render the first piece of DOM content after a user navigates to the page.

Status ranges:

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) measures when the largest content element in the viewport is rendered to the screen.

This approximates when the main content of the page is visible to users.

Status ranges:

Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) measures the largest burst of layout shift scores for unexpected layout shifts during the lifecycle of a page.

Status ranges:

Time to First Byte (TTFB) measures how quickly your server responds to requests.

Lower values indicate faster server performance.

Status ranges:

Total Blocking Time (TBT) measures the total amount of time that a page is blocked from responding to user input, such as mouse clicks, screen taps, or keyboard presses.

Status ranges:

Speed Index measures how quickly content is visually displayed during page load.

Lower values indicate faster visual rendering.

Status ranges:

The Progress over time chart shows historical results for the selected metric.

Use this chart to compare audit results before and after changes to caching, optimization settings, plugins, themes, or page content.

This section shows how much data the audited page loads, how many network requests it makes, and the estimated CO2 emissions for the page load.

Use these metrics to identify pages that may be heavy because of large images, scripts, stylesheets, fonts, third-party tools, embeds, or other assets.

Page weight shows the total size of the resources loaded during the audit.

A larger page weight can increase load time, especially for visitors on slower networks or mobile devices.

If page weight is high, review large images, videos, fonts, JavaScript files, CSS files, and third-party assets.

Total requests shows the number of network requests made while loading the page.

A high request count can slow down rendering because the browser needs to download and process more resources.

If total requests are high, review unnecessary scripts, duplicate assets, third-party tags, plugin assets, and resources loaded on pages where they are not needed.

Estimated CO2 emissions shows the estimated carbon impact of loading the audited page.

Use this metric as a directional indicator of page efficiency. Heavier pages and pages with more requests usually require more data transfer and processing, which can increase the estimated emissions.

The Diagnose Performance Problems – Lighthouse Report section shows the detailed Lighthouse audit for the selected page.
