A great new update of a must-have speed monitoring tool.
Thank you!

Simplistic peace of mind!
This is a handy little plugin that you can "set and forget", but will give you peace of mind knowing that your site is being tested regularly and you'll be notified if there are any performance issues. Works exactly as advertised and does exactly what I need!

Awesome Plugin. Many Thanks!
Really nice solution. Would like to see many more options so started to customize it for personal usage. Will let you know the moment I am done with some of the adjustments. For now many thanks.

Tiny, but clever
Genius just to concentrate on the Largest Contentful Paint. A nice way to stay ahead of Google reports. Thank you.

Excellent Website Speed tool
A real time-saver, I was looking for something like this and here it is! a suggestion would be an offsite version that automatically scans all pages and shows the scores in columns
