Introduction
Calibre’s pitch is to stop finding out your website is slow from customers. It brings RUM for your visitors, CrUX for Google’s view of any site and synthetic tests together, so you know when pages slow down and see exactly what to fix.
It also benchmarks the world’s top websites by industry and offers a free one-off Core Web Vitals report. Plans include RUM sessions, synthetic tests and user seats, and admins are alerted at 80% and 100% of monthly quotas.
Set performance budgets for your most important templates, such as the home page, product pages and checkout, and alert on budget breaches rather than on every small fluctuation, so the team treats alerts as real work.
