Tracking Events: Theme Updates, Apps, and Code
Changes in the online store – such as app installations or theme updates – often have a direct impact on performance. The new reports provide a visual representation to track this influence precisely, especially based on the Core Web Vitals: Loading Speed (LCP): How fast is the main content loaded? Interactivity (INP): How quickly does the page respond to user input? Visual Stability (CLS): Does the layout remain stable during loading? These reports make the performance impact of development work transparent.
