## Description

**turbometrics** measures the real performance of your
 WordPress website from your
visitors’ perspective — not from a lab environment.

While synthetic tools (like Lighthouse or PageSpeed Insights)
 measure your site
under controlled conditions, turbometrics shows what your real visitors experience:
on their devices, with their internet connection, from their region.

#### What the plugin does

 * Automatically embeds the turbometrics tracking script
    in the `<head>` of every
   page
 * Measures LCP, CLS, INP, FCP and TTFB from your real visitors
 * Optionally excludes WordPress administrators from tracking
 * Marks WooCommerce checkout pages separately for precise analysis
 * Shows Core Web Vitals and all 5 metrics directly in the
    WordPress dashboard 
   widget

#### Core Web Vitals

Google evaluates websites based on three signals:

 * **LCP** (Largest Contentful Paint) — loading time of main content
 * **CLS** (Cumulative Layout Shift) — visual stability during load
 * **INP** (Interaction to Next Paint) — response time to clicks

turbometrics shows you whether your site meets these thresholds
 for real visitors—
and alerts you when it does not.

#### Privacy

 * No cookies
 * No personal data collected
 * IP addresses are anonymized after country detection
 * GDPR-compliant when properly declared in your privacy policy

#### Requirements

An active turbometrics account with a Live Data plan is required.
 Free trial available
at [turbometrics.io](https://turbometrics.io).

#### External Services

This plugin embeds a tracking script from turbometrics.io
 (`https://turbometrics.
io/tm.min.js`). The script sends performance measurements of your visitors’ page
views to https://turbometrics.io/api/tm.

In the WordPress admin the plugin calls the turbometrics API at
 https://turbometrics.
io/api/v1 (`/me`, `/rum/sites`, /rum/sites/{id}/summary) to validate your API key
and to display your metrics in the dashboard widget.

turbometrics.io and turbometrics.de are the same service,
 operated by TurboPress.
turbometrics.de is the former domain and redirects to turbometrics.io.

By using this plugin, you agree to the
 [Privacy Policy](https://turbometrics.io/datenschutz)
and [Terms of Service](https://turbometrics.io/agb) of turbometrics.io.

## FAQ-e

### Do I need a turbometrics account?

Yes. You need at least a Starter plan with Live Data feature.
 A free trial is available.

### Are cookies used?

No. turbometrics works completely without cookies.

### Is the plugin GDPR-compliant?

turbometrics collects only anonymized technical performance data.
 IP addresses 
are anonymized after country detection. No personal data is stored. We recommend
mentioning the use of turbometrics in your website’s privacy policy. A ready-made
privacy policy text is available in the turbometrics dashboard.

### Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes. When WooCommerce is active, checkout pages can be marked
 separately for more
precise performance analysis.

### Are administrators tracked?

By default, no. Logged-in administrators are excluded from
 tracking to avoid skewing
measurement data. This option can be disabled in the settings.

### What happens to my data when I uninstall the plugin?

When uninstalling, all local WordPress options and caches
 are deleted. Data in 
your turbometrics account remains and can be deleted there.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.5

 * Change: the interface is now written in English, so it can be translated. Until
   now the source strings themselves were German, which left every other language
   stuck with German and made the plugin untranslatable on translate.wordpress.org.
 * New: a German translation ships with the plugin, so German installations look
   exactly as before.
 * Fix: the seventeen strings the dashboard widget and the settings page build in
   the browser were hard-coded in the script and could not be translated at all.
   They now come from the translation catalogue.
 * Fix: numbers and the time of the last refresh in the dashboard widget followed
   a fixed German format regardless of the language the site runs in. They now follow
   the locale of the person looking at it.
 * Fix: the plugin description was spread over two lines in the plugin header. WordPress
   reads only the first, so the Plugins screen showed half a sentence.

#### 1.0.4

 * Fix: uninstalling now removes the cached summary transient. The previous cleanup
   counted site ids from 1 upwards and stopped at the first one it did not find,
   so it removed nothing unless the site id happened to be 1.
 * Tested against WordPress 7.1.

#### 1.0.3

 * Change: turbometrics has moved from turbometrics.de to turbometrics.io — script
   URL, API endpoints and all dashboard links now use the new domain
 * Note: existing installations keep working, turbometrics.de redirects to turbometrics.
   io

#### 1.0.2

 * Fix: “Test connection” now works before saving — uses input field value instead
   of only saved option

#### 1.0.1

 * Fix: public_key extraction from embed_snippet
 * Fix: CWV assessment threshold reduced to 10 measurements
 * New: Reload button in dashboard widget

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release
