PageVitals

Description

PageVitals is a RUM plugin that integrates PageVitals into your WordPress site, monitoring real user performance metrics. Note: This plugin relies on the external PageVitals service to process data. No personal user behavior is tracked, but anonymized performance data is sent to PageVitals.

Data Collected includes:
– Browser performance metrics (LCP, CLS, INP and other anonymous performance metrics).
– Country (via the IP address), browser, and device type.
– No IP addresses or user-agent strings are stored.
– No cookies are read or written
– No user behavior is monitored, such as mouse or keyboard events

The script is loaded via the subdomain cdn.pgvt.io and the performance data is sent to the sundomain in.pgvt.io.
