WhatAn automated monitoring service that continuously benchmarks publisher websites against competitors on page weight, load time, ad density, and Core Web Vitals, with actionable recommendations to improve both UX and revenue.
SignalThere is clear demand for visibility into how bloated publisher pages have become — one commenter built webperf.xyz to track exactly this, and it resonated strongly, suggesting publishers and media buyers both want this data but lack easy access to it.
