Wow, a new Core Web Vitals tool in town? That sees the historical data of Core Web Vitals of your website (or your competitors)?!😉Yurp, that's right! Google launched the new historic CrUX API and that's something to celebrate because now our extra 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 tool can show you data for the last 6 months.

Add inefficient caching rules on top of this, and you've got yourselves expensive traffic that is less likely to convert.
