20261 release

  1. Insights from Google PageSpeed 5.0.0Latest

    • New admin interface built with React and the WordPress components, with charts and trends
    • Reports now include all Lighthouse categories: Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, SEO and AI Agents (Agentic Browsing)
    • Current Lighthouse metrics (LCP, TBT, CLS, FCP, Speed Index) and Core Web Vitals from real users (LCP, INP, CLS)
    • Score history for every page and a daily site trend
    • Audits are grouped like on pagespeed.web.dev, with estimated savings and WordPress tips
    • Import custom URLs from a CSV file (for example a Search Console or crawler export)
    • Fixed: XML sitemap import was rejected on sites that do not allow XML uploads
    • Fixed: rechecking a page now updates its mobile report too, not only the desktop one
    • Fixed: an invalid API key is reported clearly again with the current Google API
    • New “Check key” button: a new API key is verified before the settings are saved
    • Fixed: a PHP notice when a checked page has no real-user (Chrome UX Report) data
    • A clear warning when a scan cannot start because the site blocks requests to itself (maintenance mode, a login wall or the host), with a link to Site Health
    • When the daily API quota is used up, the scan stops with a clear message instead of sending a failing request for every page; a per-minute limit is waited out and the page is tried again
    • The ShortPixel image suggestion works again with current Lighthouse image audits
    • Charts are drawn locally; the admin no longer loads Google Charts
    • If a screen fails to load, it now shows a message with Reload and Try again buttons instead of a blank page
