How it works

  1. 1Establish field evidence by page, device, metric and time period.
  2. 2Split the failing metric into the parts that explain where time or movement comes from.
  3. 3Collect real-user attribution when the existing field data lacks an owner.
  4. 4Map scripts, images, handles and elements to plugins, themes, core or third parties.
  5. 5Check WordPress causes that match the failing metric part.
  6. 6Confirm suspects on staging by changing one thing and repeating the same lab test.
  7. 7Propose approved fixes, then verify the result with field data.

Use it when

  • Find what causes poor LCP, INP or CLS on WordPress.
  • Investigate a Core Web Vitals regression.
  • Decide whether to configure, replace or remove a measured component.
  • Check whether a fix improved field performance.

How it stays safe

  • Starts read-only and asks for approval before each site change.
  • Tests changes on staging before production.
  • Keeps API keys in the user's shell and leaves credentials out of output.
  • Labels each suspected owner as Confirmed, Likely or Hypothesis based on the evidence.
