PrestaShop Enterprise allows you to visualize the performance of your store in real time, and a tagging system helps you understand the impact of performance on your store.
The performance dashboard has been designed to provide complete and real-time visibility into the technical health and user experience of the site. It is distinguished by the granularity of its indicators, the ease of access to information, and the ability to transform data into concrete actions for continuous optimization.
Key indicators monitored
1. Core Web Vitals
The dashboard integrates the monitoring of Core Web Vitals, Google's standards for measuring the quality of the user experience. The main KPIs monitored include:
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): loading time of the main content.
First Contentful Paint (FCP): delay before the display of the first element.
Time to First Byte (TTFB): server responsiveness.
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): visual stability of the page.
First Input Delay (FID): responsiveness to user interactions.
Each type of page (home, category, product, cart) has its own metrics, differentiated for desktop and mobile users. An overall score is calculated, and a direct link to Google PageSpeed Insights provides a detailed report for each page of the site. This granularity allows for precise identification of areas for improvement, prioritization of actions, and objective assessment of the impact of the optimizations carried out.
2. Monitoring of server requests and traffic
The dashboard displays the number of concurrent requests by time slot, comparing the current day to the previous day. This visualization allows for the detection of traffic spikes, anticipation of saturation risks, and investigation of abnormal server load variations. The data is refreshed every 24 hours, with exact values accessible via hover. This approach helps to anticipate the impacts of traffic on the stability and speed of the site.
3. Analysis of the execution time of the modules
One of the strengths of PrestaShop Enterprise is the ability to identify the modules that slow down the site. The dashboard displays the average execution time of each module during page loading, along with a ranking of the five slowest modules. A direct link to the module manager facilitates decision-making and the resolution of bottlenecks. This transparency regarding the contribution of each extension to overall performance is essential for maintaining a fast and stable site.
4. Advanced technical diagnostics (Scaley)
Thanks to the integration of the native Scaley module, users gain access to in-depth technical data: average SQL query times, page load durations, execution of critical queries. This information is crucial for identifying bottlenecks and guiding optimizations on the server or database side. Advanced users or agencies can switch between mobile and desktop views for each metric, and access detailed reports through PrestaShop's native Symfony debug mode.
