In this update, we've added a new feature that alerts users when an SSL certificate is about to expire. This allows timely renewal to prevent service interruptions, security warnings, or potential vulnerabilities.

We've also introduced a feature that detects mismatches between the site's environment settings and its robots.txt configuration.

• If the site is set to a production environment, robots.txt should allow crawling so search engines can index the content.
• Conversely, if the site is in a non-production environment (e.g., UAT, staging, development), robots.txt should be set to disallow crawling to prevent test content from being indexed by search engines.

To receive these alerts, users can subscribe at the client, project, or site level in Alert Settings tab. See how to subscribe to alerts here

To unsubscribe from this specific type of alert, go to My Email Subscriptions or click on the Manage Subscription link of the email you received and uncheck the Web Config option

New Device Options in Dropdown List

In this update, we’ve added more device options for users to quickly select from the dropdown list:

• Desktop Fast
• Desktop
• Mobile Fast
• Mobile Slow

Users can view detailed information such as viewport, connection, latency, and bandwidth of each device by hovering over the device name in the list.

The default value for "Desktop" has not changed but has been renamed to "Desktop Slow" for better clarity.

Other Improvements

Overview Screen Improvement

We've added the total number of issues for Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO, allowing users to quickly see how many issues are present at a glance.

Unsubscribe to Metric Threshold Alert

Users can now manage Metric Threshold Alerts from the "My Email Subscriptions" screen, the "Alert Settings" tab at the Client, or by using the unsubscribe link in alert emails.

Our tool now offers a seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) experience, allowing users to access their accounts quickly and securely using their existing credentials from trusted third-party providers. We currently support logins via Microsoft, Google, GitHub, and LinkedIn.

This feature eliminates the need to remember yet another password and ensures a smoother, more efficient login process — especially for users who regularly work across multiple platforms.

If your registered email address does not match any of the supported external accounts, you can still take full advantage of SSO by linking your account manually. To do this:

1. Log in to the system and click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
2. Select User Information from the dropdown menu.
3. Under the Advanced Information section, connect your account to one or more available SSO providers.

Once linked, you’ll be able to sign in with those services directly on future visits — saving time while maintaining security.

Whether you’re an individual user or part of a larger team, SSO helps simplify access management and enhances the overall user experience.

In this update, we’ve upgraded Lighthouse from version 12.2 to 15.2.1, and Chrome from version 129 to 135.

These changes do not affect most synthetic metrics, but some indicators (e.g., LCP, TBT, CLS) may show slight improvements.

For full details, please refer to the official release notes:

• Chrome 135 Release Notes
• Lighthouse Release Notes

We’ve introduced several improvements to make tracking website performance and managing alerts more intuitive and efficient.

Custom Dashboard Enhancements

The Custom Dashboard now offers more flexibility for tracking Web Vitals, Lighthouse scores, and other metrics, allowing users to monitor trends and receive alerts on performance fluctuations.

• Sticky Chart Preview: The chart preview remains visible so users can instantly see changes when modifying metrics.
• Improved Layout: We’ve reorganized components to simplify the process of creating and editing charts.
• Updated Left Menu: Users managing multiple clients can now quickly locate their dashboards.

Email Alert Subscription Enhancements

Managing alert subscriptions is now easier, ensuring you receive only the notifications that matter.

• Subscribe/Unsubscribe to Alerts: Users can now manage uptime alerts and failed test alerts.
• Flexible Management Options: Update your email subscriptions from the My Email Subscription screen or the Alert Settings tab from Client/Project/Site level or the unsubscribed link in the received email

We’ve enhanced the CrUX Field Data section on the Overview and Performance screens by adding LCP Subparts and RTT (Round Trip Time) metrics. These additions provide more insights into your site’s real-user performance and help you prioritize the right areas for optimization.

LCP Subparts

This new feature breaks down the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) element into its components such as Time to First Byte (TTFB), Resource Load Delay, Resource Load Duration, and Element Render Delay. These metrics help pinpoint which part of the LCP contributes most to the delay, allowing you to optimize your page’s loading performance more effectively.

To view the details, click the "View LCP Subparts" button in the CrUX Field Data section on the Overview or Performance screen

RTT (Round Trip Time)

RTT measures the time it takes for a network request to travel from the browser to the server and back. High RTT can indicate network latency issues that impact your site’s speed, especially for users in certain regions.

Shareable Links Feature

We are pleased to announce that users can now share viewer access to their projects, site or even their whole client using customized and revokable secret links.

New Payment Methods Added

A variety of new payment options have been added, such as debit/credit card and digital payment methods, to provide greater flexibility and convenience at checkout.

Pay by Invoice Feature

We are excited to announce that users can now pay for their Niteco Performance Insights annual subscription by requesting an invoice and making a bank transfer.

Users can now upgrade their plans by clicking on the Upgrade plan button. They can then customize their plan on the payment plan screen and proceed to pay via invoice to activate their subscription:

Updates to Email Addresses

Email addresses for all notifications have been made unique in order to allow customers to easily filter different types of notifications in their mail clients.

To make it easier for users to distinguish between resources, labels such as Defer, Async, fetchPriority, and Lazy have been added.

Audit Logs tab

To make it easier for users to track changes, an Audit Logs tab has been added at the client, project, and site levels. Depending on the level selected, users can filter logs by date range, action, project, site, or the user who made the changes. Clicking on a specific row allows users to view detailed information about the changes made.

Video

Place the video under the Browser Waterfall section on the Performance screen. Previously, users needed to click on the Video option to access it.
